Quote of the Day: Quotes About Life

Book links are usually affiliate links. This means I earn a small percentage when you click through and buy the book. This costs you nothing extra - it simply allows me to keep my cats in the lifestyle they're accustomed to.

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, “I used everything you gave me.” – Erma Bombeck

A life without cause is a life without effect. – Barbarella

All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind. – Abraham Lincoln

Life’s not always fair. Sometimes you can get a splinter even sliding down a rainbow. – Terri Guillemets

As we struggle to make sense of things, life looks on in repose. – Author Unknown

In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years. – More Abraham Lincoln Quotes

I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life. – Abraham Lincoln

Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can. – Danny Kaye

    “In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” by Lincoln is my favorite one from this list. It’s a conscious decision to take life by the horns and make something out of it. I try to live by this motto every day. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Love that last quote by Maya Angelou.
    Kids still have that simple go to attitude but we adults ponder, strategize and think to death before taking the first step.
