Life is too short for any vain regretting... Between the swift sun's rising and its setting, we have no time for useless tears or fretting, life is too short.... Time is the best avenger if we wait, the years speed by, and on their wings bear healing, life is too short for aught but high endeavor-too short for spite, but long enough for love. And love lives on forever and forever.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Don't let your cool stand in the way of being soulful. Life is too short. Too short to hate. Too short to judge. Too short not to live for. Don't let anything or anyone get the best of you or your heart and mind. If you are going down... go down swinging, singing, and loving.

Butch Walker

Carmen hated the 'life is too short" rationalization. She thought it was one of the lamer excuses in the history of excuse-making. Whenever you did something because "life is too short not to," you could be sure life would be just long enough to punish you for it.

Ann Brashares

Life is too short and too precious to waste it living out someone else’s values. We must find our own.

John Norman

I just want us to all have a good time and to party and enjoy this life, because it's too short. It's too short.

Bebe Rexha

Life is too short to do mediocre work and it is definitely too short to build shitty things.

Stewart Butterfield

Life is too short to be little. You must enlarge your imagination and then act on it.

Benjamin Disraeli

Life, as the signs in the liquor stores say, is too short to drink bad wine. And summer is too short to read bad books.

David Frum

Life's too short to be super conservative but it's also too short to make it any shorter. I don't plan on dying early, but at the same time I don't plan on playing it so safe that I'll live to ninety.

Zoe Bell

A warrior must learn to make every act count, since he is going to be here in this world for only a short while, in fact, too short for witnessing all the marvels of it.

Carlos Castaneda

My view is that life is too short. I'm not being melodramatic or anything, but when your mother dies in your arms - just you and her, and it's one o'clock in the morning, and you're waiting for her to exhale - you just think, life's too bloody short to argue about the little things.

Saffron Aldridge

Life is too wonderful, too full, too short and strength too limited to contain its wonder.

Ruth Draper

There must be another life, she thought, sinking back into her chair, exasperated. Not in dreams; but here and now, in this room, with living people. She felt as if she were standing on the edge of a precipice with her hair blown back; she was about to grasp something that just evaded her. There must be another life, here and now, she repeated. This is too short, too broken. We know nothing, even about ourselves.

Virginia Woolf

Economics is not an attempt to generalize human desires or human behavior; but to generalize the phenomena of price.

Michael Joseph Oakeshott

Life is too short to not have fun; we are only here for a short time compared to the sun and the moon and all that.

Coolio

An actor must interpret life, and in order to do so must be willing to accept all the experiences life has to offer. In fact, he must seek out more of life than life puts at his feet. In the short span of his lifetime, an actor must learn all there is to know, experience all there is to experience, or approach that state as closely as possible. He must be superhuman in his efforts to store away in the core of his subconscious everything that he might be called upon to use in the expression of his art.

James Dean
