A Quote by Maxwell Maltz

Close scrutiny will show that most of these everyday socalled “crisis situations” are not life-or-death matters at all, but opportunities to either advance, or stay where you are.

Close scrutiny will show that most 'crisis situations' are opportunities to either advance, or stay where you are.

Maxwell Maltz

We sometimes emphasize the danger in a crisis without focusing on the opportunities that are there. We should feel a great sense of urgency because it is the most dangerous crisis we have ever faced, by far. But it also provides us with opportunities to do a lot of things we ought to be doing for other reasons anyway. And to solve this crisis we can develop a shared sense of moral purpose.

Al Gore

A lot of people are not used to having death in their lives or anything like that and I think that's not incredibly natural either. So it definitely can take its toll. At the same time I think it's important to face your own mortality, which I do most every day by doing the show, to realize that your life is short and to take the opportunities that you need to take and be fearless.

Emily Deschanel

You see, it's actually very good that a human activity is performed very close to death, because that's where life is. Life is, at its most valuable and most full, very close to the boundary of life.

Philippe Petit

Crisis or transition of any kind reminds us of what matters most. In the routine of life, we often take our families-our parents and children and siblings-for granted. But in times of danger and need and change, there is no question that what we care about most is our families! It will be even more so when we leave this life and enter into the spirit world. Surely the first people we will seek to find there will be father, mother, spouse, children, and siblings.

M. Russell Ballard

This is where it matters the most. This is where lives are made, in these moments when you can choose whether or not to say "I Can't" or "I Can." It is a choice that will either make or break you for life.

Jillian Michaels

I had no idea how Stevenson's cases would hold up under close scrutiny. But given what was at stake - nothing less than possible concrete evidence of life after death - weren't they at least worth a visit?

Tom Shroder

The Way of the Samurai is found in death. When it comes to either/or, there is only the quick choice of death. It is not particularly difficult. Be determined and advance.

Nabeshima Naoshige

We want to be poets of our life first of all in the smallest most everyday matters.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Not even piety will stay wrinkles, nor the encroachments of age, nor the advance of death, which cannot be resisted.

Horace

Every crisis has both its dangers and its opportunities. Each can spell either salvation or doom.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.

Jim Carrey

Social distancing won't end with the COVID-19 crisis but will stay with us and will become part of life.

Jasmin Bhasin

The crisis of our time is essentially a religious crisis. It is a matter of life or death.

Arthur Adamov

If a warrior is not unattached to life and death, he will be of no use whatsoever. The saying that “All abilities come from one mind” sounds as though it has to do with sentient matters, but it is in fact a matter of being unattached to life and death. With such non-attachment one can accomplish any feat.
