    THE EXPLANATION
    OF LIFE


    As Told By The World's Greatest Sages


    "The meaning of life cannot be told; it has to happen to a person." (Ira Progoff)

    "The quality of a man's life is dependent upon his strength of will to accept or reject the issues of life, not as he wants them to be, but as they are." (Paul A. Anderson)

    "LIFE: Be such; and live such a life; that if every man were such as you; and every life a life like yours; this earth would be God's paradise." (Phillip Brooks)

    "Truth is the strong thing. Let man's life be true!" (Robert Browning)

    "Carry religion into common life, and your life will be rendered useful as well as noble." (John Caird)

    "Everywhere in life the true question is not what we gain, but what we do...Have a purpose in life...and having it, throw such strength of mind and muscle into your work as has been given you." (Thomas Carlisle)

    "GO NOW, AND LEAVE YOUR LIFE OF SIN." (Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ), John 8:11, NIV)

    "Better do a kindness near home than go far to burn incense. To save one life is better than to build a seven-story pagoda." (Wisdom of the Chinese)

    "The prime virtue in life is courage, because it makes all the other virtues possible." (Winston Churchill)

    "here there is life, there is hope." (Cicero)

    "Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, but not realizing that life is made up of little things." (Frank A. Clark)

    "Difficulties constitute the best education in life." (Benjamin Disraeli)

    "Do not quarrel with your lot in life. Do not complain of its never-ceasing cares, its environment, the vexations you have to stand, the small and sordid souls you have to live and work with. Above all, do not resent temptation; do not be perplexed because it seems to thicken around you more and more, and ceases neither for effort nor for agony and prayer. That is your practice. That is the practice which God appoints you. And it is having its work in making you patient, and humble, and generous, and unselfish, and kind, and courteous." (Henry Drummond)

    "I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. WHOEVER FOLLOWS ME WILL NEVER WALK IN DARKNESS, BUT WILL HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE." (Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ), John 8:12, NIV)

    "Are you willing to forget what you have done for other people, and to remember what other people have done for you; to ignore what the world owes you, and to think what you owe the world; to own that probably the only good reason for your existence is not what you are going to get out of life, but what you are going to give to life; to close your book of complaints against the management of the universe, and to look around you for a place where you can sow a few seeds of happiness -- are you willing to do these things for even a day?" (Henry Van Dyke)

    "I never did a day's work in my life -- it was all fun." (Thomas A. Edison)

    "Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile." (Albert Einstein)

    "There is only one failure in life possible, and that is not to be true to the best one knows." (George Eliot)

    "A church is not a company carrying a bunch of keys to unlock the doors to all our problems, but a people with a master key to the whole of life." (Edward R. Elson)

    "Sufficient to today are the duties of today. Don't waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you; well assured that the right performance of this hour's duties will be the best preparation for the hours or ages that follow it." (Ralph Waldo Emmerson)

    "THE MAN WHO LOVES HIS LIFE WILL LOSE IT, WHILE THE MAN WHO HATES HIS LIFE IN THIS WORLD WILL KEEP IT FOR ETERNAL LIFE." (Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ), John 12:25, NIV)

    "One of the illusions of life is that the present hour is not the critical, decisive hour. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of your life.

    "Guard your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life." (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

    "No horse ever gets anywhere until he is harnessed. No steam or gas ever drives anything until it is confined. No Niagra is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows until it is focused, dedicated and disciplined." (Harry Emerson Fosdick)

    "Do you love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff that life is made of.

    "Work as if you were to live a hundred years, pray as if you were to die tomorrow." (Benjamin Franklin)

    "I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME." (Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ), John 14:6, NIV)

    "The whole purpose of the world seems to be to provide a physical basis for the growth of the spirit." (Goethe)

    "Life is made of marble and mud.

    "Our Creator would never have made such lovely days, and have given us the deep hearts to enjoy them, above and beyond all thought, unless we were meant to be immortal." (Nathaniel Hawthorne)

    "He who has not forgiven his enemy has never tasted one of the most sublime enjoyments of life" (Lavater)

    "If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostilities." (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)

    "GREATER LOVE HAS NO ONE THAN THIS, THAN HE LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS." (Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ), John 15:13, NIV)

    "The only conclusive evidence of a man's sincerity is that he gives himself for a principle. Words, money, all things else, are comparatively easy to give away; but when a man makes a gift of his daily life and practice, it is plain that the truth, whatever it may be, has taken possession of him" (James Russel Lowell)

    "Success in life depends upon staying power. The reason for failure in most cases is lack of perseverance. Men get tired and give up." (J.R.Miller)

    "Our rewards in life will always be in exact proportion to our service" (Earl Nightingale)

    "As you throw the weight of your influence on the side of good, the true and the beautiful, your life will achieve an endless splendor. It will go on in others, bigger, finer, nobler, than you ever dared to be." (Wilfred A. Peterson)

    "The life which is unexamined is not worth living." (Plato)

    "NOW THIS IS ETERNAL LIFE: THAT THEY MAY KNOW YOU, THE ONLY TRUE GOD, AND Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ), WHOM YOU HAVE SENT." (Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ), John 17:3, NIV)

    "A life without love, a year without summer." (Swedish Proverb)

    "The lives of truest heroism are those in which there are no great deeds to look back upon. It is the little things well done that go to make up a successful and truly good life." (Theodore Roosevelt)

    "We go through life as some tourists go through Europe -- so anxious to see the next sight; the next cathedral; the next picture; the next mountain peak; that we never stop to fill our sense with the beauty of the present one." (Minot J. Savage)

    "Success in life is not determined by what we get out of it, but what we become by it" (Sterling W. Sill)

    "BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD, AND THAT BY BELIEVING YOU MAY HAVE LIFE IN HIS NAME." (Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ), John 20:31, NIV)

    "Cheerfulness of disposition is a great source of enjoyment of life, and it is also a great safeguard of character. It furnishes the best soil for the growth of goodness and virtue. It gives brightness to the heart and elasticity of spirit. It is the companion of charity, the nurse of patience, the mother of wisdom. It is also the best of moral and mental tonics." (Samuel Smiles)

    "Only by humble obedience to the end of our probation can we receive the greatest happiness and celestial life." (Virgil M. Smith)

    "Soft-hearted mothers rear soft-hearted children. They hurt them for life because they are afraid of hurting them while they are young. Coddle our children; and they will turn out noodles. You may sugar a child till everybody is sick of it...Children without chastisement are fields without plowing. The very best colts want breaking in. Not that we like severity. Cruel mothers are not mothers; and those who are always flogging and fault-finding ought to be flogged themselves. There is reason in all things; as the madman said when he cut off his nose.

    "Your blameless life will be your best defense; and those who have seen it will not allow you to be condemned so readily as your slanderers expect. Only abstain from fighting your own battles; and in nine cases out of ten your accusers will gain nothing by their malevolence but chagrin for themselves and contempt from others. To persecute the slanderer is very seldom wise." (Charles H. Spurgeon)

    "DO NOT WORRY ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHAT YOU WILL EAT OR DRINK; OR ABOUT YOUR BODY, WHAT YOU WILL WEAR. IS NOT LIFE MORE IMPORTANT THAN FOOD, AND THE BODY MORE IMPORTANT THAN CLOTHES?" (Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ), Matthew 6:25, NIV)

    "Let us endeavor to live so that when we die even the undertaker will be sad." (Mark Twain)

    "Boredom is a disease of the mind and psyche, an insidious disease. It not only takes the joy out of life, but the creativity as well. No one of God's children should ever be bored with life." (Author Unknown)

    "Do you sometimes think, 'If I could just see Christ. If I could meet Him. If I could talk to Him personally, then this life would be easier.' But you have seen Him. You have talked to Him personally. This knowledge, believed in faith, can make life easier." (Author Unknown)

    "Know this, that every soul is free
    To choose his life and what he'll be,
    For this eternal truth is given,
    That God will force no man to Heaven.

    "He'll call, persuade, direct aright,
    Bless with wisdom, love and light,
    In marvelous ways be good and kind,
    But never force the human mind.

    "Freedom and reason make us men.
    Take these away, what are we then?
    Mere animals and just as well,
    The beasts may think of Heaven or Hell." (Author Unknown)

    "We all need to take great interest in the future because we will spend the rest of our life there." (Author unknown)

    "It isn't the size of your house so much
    That matters so much at all,
    It's the gentle hand, its loving touch,
    That makes it great or small.
    The friends who come, in the hour they go,
    Who out of your house depart,
    Will judge it not by the style you show
    It's all in the size of your heart.
    It isn't the size of your head so much.
    It isn't the wealth you found
    That will make you -- it's how you touch
    The lives that are all around.
    For making money is not so hard --
    To live life well is an art;
    How men love you, how men regard,
    Is all in the size of your heart." (Author Unknown)

    "SMALL IS THE GATE AND NARROW THE ROAD THAT LEADS TO LIFE, AND ONLY A FEW FIND IT." (Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ), Matthew 7:14, NIV)

    "The highest pinnacle of spiritual life is not happy joy in unbroken sunshine, but absolute and undoubting trust in the love of God." (Author Unknown)

    "Hope is the golden thread that should be woven into every experience of life" (Author Unknown)

    "The ideal life is in our blood and never will be still. Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes contented with the thoughts he is thinking and the deeds he is doing -- where there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger; which he knows he was meant and made to do." (Author Unknown)

    "Making a life comes before making a living." (Author Unknown)

    "Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, 'Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?...Jesus replied: "IF YOU WANT TO ENTER LIFE, OBEY THE COMMANDMENTS...DO NOT MURDER, DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT GIVE FALSE TESTIMONY, HONOUR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER, LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF'" (Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ), Matthew 19:16-19, NIV)

    "Take life as you find it, but don't leave it that way." (Author Unknown)

    "Reincarnation: People coming back to life at quitting time." (Author Unknown)

    "Reverence is one of the signs of strength, irreverence one of the surest indications of weakness. No man will rise high who jeers at sacred things. The fine loyalties of life must be reverenced or they will be foresworn in the day of trial." (Author Unknown)

    "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many." (Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ), Matthew 20:28, NIV)

    And not in utter nakedness,
    But trailing clouds of glory do we come
    From God, who is our home." (William Wordsworth)

    "Admit errors; make apologies; clear up the brooding clouds at home and in the heart that keep us from enjoying life and loved ones, and from being at peace with ourselves inside.

    "All things need watching, working at, caring for, and marriage is no exception. Marriage is not something to be indifferently treated or abused, or something that simply takes care of itself. Nothing neglected will remain as it was or is, or will fail to deteriorate. All things need attention, care and concern, and especially so in this most sensitive of all relationships of life."

    "We trained hard...but every time we were beginning to form up into teams, we would be reorganized.
