If we would only give, just once, the same amount of reflection to what we want to get out of life that we give to the question of what to do with a two weeks' vacation, we would be startled at our false standards and the aimless procession of our busy days.
I didn't want to be thirtysomething and not know what I was going to do. I was quite afraid of that, there were quite a lot of aimless kids around, in that 'other' side of my life, who didn't really know what to do because they always had a bank balance to fall back on and they were quite lost.
These struggling tides of life that seem In wayward, aimless course to tend, Are eddies of the mighty stream That rolls to its appointed end.
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
Must be out-of-doors enough to get experience of wholesome reality, as a ballast to thought and sentiment. Health requires this relaxation, this aimless life.
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.
Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind.
Slept, awoke, slept, awoke, miserable life.
If I have a last wish, I want to remember you. In an aimless life, to not even have those memories would be hell.
Loneliness, when accepted, becomes a gift that will lead us to find a purpose in life.
The greatest tragedy in life is not death, but a life without a purpose.
Health requires this relaxation, this aimless life. This life in the present.
Sometimes it may seem to us that there is no purpose in our lives, that going day after day for years to this office or that school or factory is nothing else but waste and weariness. But it may be that God has sent us there because but for us, Christ would not be there. If our being there means that Christ is there, that alone makes it worthwhile.
An aimless life is always a troubled life. Every individual should have an aim. But do not forget that the quality of your aim will depend the quality of your life. Your aim should be high and wide, generous and disinterested; this will make your life precious to yourself and to others. Whatever your ideal, it cannot be perfectly realized unless you have realized perfection in yourself.
He who parades his virtues seldom leads the parade. He who puts up with insult invites injury. Health requires this relaxation, this aimless life. This life in the present.
When safety is our priority, we live our lives being very, very careful, and we wind up having no lives
