Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
Traveling is like flirting with life. It's like saying, 'I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station.
Your life is like a book. The title page is your name, the preface your introductions to the world. The pages are a daily record of your efforts, trials, pleasures, discouragements, and achievements. Day by day your thoughts and acts are being inscribed in your book of life. Hour by hour, the record is being made that must stand for all time. Once the word 'finish' must be written, let it then be said of your book that it is a record of noble purpose, generous service, and work well-done.

Life is like a book son. And every book has an end. No matter how much you like that book you will get to the last page and it will end. No book is complete without its end. And once you get there, only when you read the last words, will you see how good the book is.
Life is like a book. There are good chapters, and there are bad chapters. But when you get to a bad chapter, you don’t stop reading the book! If you do… then you never get to find out what happens next!
Life is like a book that never ends. Chapters close, but not the book itself.
I am the author of my life. Unfortunately, I am writing in pen and can’t erase my mistakes.
