When in doubt, be simple. Your life purpose should be an easy target to conceive sometimes all it takes is a simple act of courage to get you there. ↗

What is Life? Life is Love. Enjoy it. Life is Beauty.  Praise it. Life is Spirit.  Realise it. Life is Song. Sing it. Life is a Mystery.  Unfold it. Life is a Challenge.  Meet it. Life is a Goal.  Achieve it. Life is an Adventure.  Dare it. Life is a Sorrow. Overcome it. Life is a Tragedy.  Face it. Life is a Game.  Play it. Life is a Duty.  Perform it. Life is an Opportunity.  Take it. Life is a Struggle.  Fight it. Life is a Journey.  Complete it. Life is a Puzzle.  Solve it. Life is a Promise.  Fulfil it.   ↗

Religion is like language or dress. We gravitate toward the practices with which we were raised. In the end, though, we are all proclaiming the same thing. That life has meaning. That we are grateful for the power that created us. ↗

The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, and if nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living. ↗

I'm living at a peak of clarity and beauty I never knew existed. Every part of me is attuned to the work. I soak it up into my pores during the day, and at night—in the moments before I pass off into sleep—ideas explode into my head like fireworks. There is no greater joy than the burst of solution to a problem. Incredible that anything could happen to take away this bubbling energy, the zest that fills everything I do. It's as if all the knowledge I've soaked in during the past months has coalesced and lifted me to a peak of light and understanding. This is beauty, love, and truth all rolled into one. This is joy. ↗

...but don't tell me I'm not sensitive to beauty. That's my Achilles' heel, and don't you forget it. To me, everything is beautiful. Show me a pink sunset and I'm limp, by God... ↗

But those who seek only reassurance from life will never be more than tourists—seeing everything and trying to possess what can only be felt. Beauty is the shadow of imperfection. ↗

Describing the person I am would best be through music. When I'm up on stage and I'm singing my heart out, I am always reminded of life's best things. ↗

The cabman looked at the pieces of silver, which, appearing very minute in his big, grimy palm, symbolised the insignificant results which reward the ambitious courage and toil of a mankind whose day is short on this earth of evil. ↗
