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

Art is too long, and life is too short.

Grace Paley

Fight for us, O God, that we not drift numb and blind and foolish into vain and empty excitements. Life is too short, too precious, too painful to waste on worldly bubbles that burst. Heaven is too great, hell is too horrible, eternity is too long that we should putter around on the porch of eternity.

John Piper

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

You size up someone physically in less than one second - too tall, too short, too fat, too thin, too old, too young, too stuffy, too scruffy.

Helen Fisher

What's comfortable to me is familiarity. Comfort has nothing to do with the size of the garment. I do find something quite comfortable and charming in a too-narrow shoulder, a sleeve that's too short or too long, a pant that's too high or too low, hems that are trod on.

Marc Jacobs

Life is not too short... we just wait too long to begin it.

Joel Osteen

Life is too short to hold a grudge, also too long.

Robert Breault

People always say life is too short for regrets. But the truth is, it's too long.

Sarah Addison Allen

Life is hard. It is not too short, it is too long. But you have to learn how to live; you have to have a sense of humour.

Carolina Herrera

Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly.

Paulo Coelho

What I've learned is that life is too short and movies are too long.

Denis Leary

I was too old, too young, too fat, too thin, too tall, too short, too blond, too dark - but at some point, they're going to need the other. So I'd get really good at being the other.

Frances McDormand

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

Ruth Draper

Without always meaning to, I write really long short stories, 60-pagers, 90-pagers, pieces of fiction that are too long for all but the bravest magazines to print, and too short for all but the bravest book publishers to publish.
