Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it. Charles Swindoll

“Life is too short to waste any amount of time on wondering what other people think about you. In the first place, if they had better things going on in their lives, they wouldn't have the time to sit around and talk about you. What's important to me is not others' opinions of me, but what's...

“All of life is maintenance for heaven’s sake. That’s the pleasant part. Taking care of things.” Said by Anna Madrigal played by Olympia Dukakis in Tales of the City, written by Armistead Maupin.

Creativity—like human life itself—begins in darkness. We need to acknowledge this. All too often, we think only in terms of light: "And then the lightbulb went on and I got it!" It is true that insights may come to us as flashes. It is true that some of these flashes may be blinding. It is...

Life really does begin at forty. Up until then, you are just doing research. Carl Gustav Jung

“I spent my life folded between the pages of books. In the absence of human relationships, I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb...

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So, love the people who treat you right, forgive the ones who don’t and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get the chance take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it would be easy, they just promised it...

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. George Bernard Shaw

"Life is like a piano; the white keys represent happiness and the black show sadness. But as you go through life's journey, remember that the black keys also create music." Ehssan Sakhaee

Difficulties in your life do not come to destroy you but to help you realise your hidden potential and power. Let difficulties know that you too are difficult. Avul Pakir Jainulabidin Abdul Kalam

Life isn’t divided into genres. It’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography thrown in if you’re lucky. Alan Moore

“Life isn't long enough to do all you could accomplish. And what a privilege even to be alive. In spite of all the pollutions and horrors, how beautiful this world is. Supposing you only saw the stars once every year. Think what you would think. The wonder of it!” Tasha Tudor

"Life instantly improves when you don’t blame other people and focus on what you can control." James Clear

The Laughing Heart "Your life is your life don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission. be on the watch. there are ways out. there is a light somewhere. it may not be much light but it beats the darkness. be on the watch. the gods will offer you chances. know them. take them. you...

“A freelance life, a life in the arts, is sometimes like putting messages in bottles, on a desert island, and hoping that someone will find one of your bottles and open it and read it, and put something in a bottle that will wash its way back to you: appreciation, or a commission, or money, or...

"Life is at its best when everything has fallen out of place, and you decide that you're going to fight to get them right, not when everything is going your way and everyone is praising you." Thisuri Wanniarachch

It is Friday night (UK Time) and the gloss of Xmas has long gone, the bright fireworks are but a distant memory that signalled another day in the week before us. My question is this: it's a Friday night, what are you doing? Better yet, what do you wish you were doing? Sincerely yours, The...
