"The more Torah, the more life." ~~ Hillel in Sayings of the Fathers 2:7
"One of the main distinguishing features which set man apart from all other creatures is the free choice of action which the Creator bestowed upon him. Man can use this Divine gift either for self-destruction and the destruction of everything around him; or he can choose the right way of life, which would elevate him and his environment to the highest possible perfection. " ~~ Rebbe Menachem Schneerson
"Life is a great big canvas; throw all the paint you can at it. " ~~ Danny Kaye
"Life is something that happens when you can’t get to sleep. " ~~ Fran Lebowitz
"All men have the one entrance into life and the one exit." ~~ Wisdom of Solomon 7:6
"The river of life…flows from birth toward death. Day follows day with wearisome monotony. Only the holidays twine themselves together to form the circle of the year. Only through the holidays does life experience the eternity of the river that returns to its source. Then life becomes eternal." ~~ Franz Rosenzweig
"Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don’t know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is! " ~~ Anne Frank
"Look, I don’t want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you’re alive you’ve got to flap your arms and legs, you’ve got to jump around a lot, for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at very least think noisy and colorfully, or you’re not alive. " ~~ Mel Brooks
"Not to transmit an experience is to betray it. " ~~ Elie Wiesel
"Darkness, no matter how ominous and intimidating, is not a thing or force: it is merely the absence of light. So light need not combat and overpower darkness in order to displace it – where light is, darkness is not. A thimbleful of light will therefore banish a roomful of darkness. The same is true of good and evil: evil is not a thing or force, but merely the absence or concealment of good. One need not “defeat” the evil in the world; one need only bring to light its inherent goodness." ~~ Rebbe Menachem Schneerson
"The Torah is truth, and the purpose of knowing it is to live by it." ~~ Maimonides
"Whether it’s the best of times or the worst of times, it’s the only time we’ve got. " ~~ Art Buchwald
