The advantage of living is not measured by length, but by use; some men have lived long, and lived little; attend to it while you are in it. It lies in your will, not in the number of years, for you to have lived enough.

Michel de Montaigne

The following story is one which he related recently regarding the practice of fault - finding among creeds: A frog lived in a well. It had lived there for a long time. . . .

Swami Vivekananda

One of the advantages of having lived a long time is that you can often remember when you had it worse. I am grateful to have lived long enough to have known some of the blessings of adversity.

James E. Faust

Beauty comes from a life well lived. If you've lived well, your smile lines are in the right places.

Jennifer Garner

There appears to exist a greater desire to live long than to live well! Measure by man's desires, he cannot live long enough; measure by his good deeds, and he has not lived long enough; measure by his evil deeds, and he has lived too long.

Johann Georg Ritter von Zimmermann

I've never lived in Los Angeles. I've always lived 30 miles away in Long Beach.

Wendi McLendon-Covey

I lived in Los Angeles for a long time, and in a lot of ways, I felt like I lived in my car.

Dianne Reeves

Our care should not be to have lived long as to have lived enough.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

The truth is that a life well lived is always lived on a rising scale of difficulty.

N.D. Wilson

The utility of living consists not in the length of days, but in the use of time; a man may have lived long, and yet lived but a little.

Michel de Montaigne

I lived rough, by my wits, was homeless, lived on the streets, lived on friends' floors, was happy, was miserable.

Ben Okri

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
