Who would call a day spent reading a good day? But a life spent reading
that is a good life. A day that closely resembles every other day of the past ten or twenty years does not suggest itself as a good one. But who would not call Pasteur’s life a good one, or Thomas Mann’s?

You remember what you told me, Mom? That there are no medals for the completion of a good life? I’ve been thinking about that. About how no one wins. Like you said, it’s impossible to win, because the finish line is death.

As an actor, you’re not just interpreting words; you’re breathing life into the soul of a story

Money and good life had never been my goal.

Writing is a way to understand life

What man wants is simply independent choice, whatever that independence may cost and wherever it may lead.

My goal was just to live a good life that I was happy with. And I wasn’t exactly sure that that meant being the star of a movie.

It is good that we do not have to try to kill the sun or the moon or the stars. It is enough to live on the sea and kill our true brothers.

All my life I’ve looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.

All human beings seek the happy life, but many confuse the means – for example, wealth and status – with that life itself. This misguided focus on the means to a good life makes people get further from the happy life. The really worthwhile things are the virtuous activities that make up the happy life, not the external means that may seem to produce it.

All you young wild girls You make a mess of me

Apple has given me a platform to spread music. They’re giving us Latinos a chance to shine

The people I work with have a very good impression of me for sure, because of how I am.

Cruel leaders are replaced only to have new leaders turn cruel.

Here’s the good news. If I realize that I’m insane, then I’m okay with it. I’m not dangerous insane.

I find myself frequently depressed – perhaps more so than any other person here. And I find no better cure for that depression than to trust in the Lord with all my heart, and seek to realize afresh the power of the peace-speaking blood of Jesus, and His infinite love in dying upon the cross to put away all my transgressions.

You are in every line I have ever read.

I still want to be myself, I still want to put my opinions out there or whatever, I just really want people to take my music serious.

The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows

May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.

The good life is one inspired by life and guided by knowledge.

There are three ingredients in the good life: learning, earning and yearning.

Luxury is not a necessity to me, but beautiful and good things are.

Thinking to get at once all the gold the goose could give, he killed it and opened it only to find-nothing

There can be no good fable with human beings in it. There can be no good fairy tale without them

In your life you’ll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team.

In life and love, you learn that there comes a time to let go and move on.

The memory of a good deed lives

Be satisfied with what you have

Good things come in small packages

It is with our passions as it is with fire and water, they are good servants but bad masters

To do the useful thing, to say the courageous thing, to contemplate the beautiful thing: that is enough for one man’s life.

Do something wonderful, people may imitate it.

Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.

The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives

The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives.

In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit

Everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves

Oh, that’s nice. That’s real nice. Good for you

To be good and lead a good life means to give to others more than one takes from them.
