Hi,
Quotes about life, are quotes to live by indeed sometimes. This world has been blessed with so much wisdom. Plus the speed at which it travels, and how wide it spreads makes it hard to believe, that so many people seem to be oblivious of the most seemingly obvious things.
I believe it's because most people still haven't realized, that we must change the inwardly before we can change the outwardly, and that to change the inwardly we must seek knowledge.
Look at the Jesus quote that says “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then You Will Know The Truth And The Truth Will Set You Free“.
According to Jesus the truth is what sets you free. Free of what you might ask. Free to get or receive your essentials in life I say. The essentials that make your life worth living and precious to you. Joy, peace, health, and love for all. Harmony with everyone. Good food, water, clothes, shelter, relationships, self esteem, fullfiling work etc. Those are essentials. Go without any of those for too long and you'll be heading for life's exit, or you'll hate life so much you'll want to punish it for it's treatment towards you.
The truth is we mostly get what we put into life multiplied. Just like the farmer. So let's put in a little time right now and seek wisdom. There is some good stuff in this list of quotes. Some are just funny, some negative, but some inspire you to sow things that will allow you to reap some good fruits in life. I'll highlight the ones I think those are. Maybe you'll agree with me.
As far as I'm concerned Jesus beats the rest of us by far with His quotes. They are just priceless and artisticaly expressed to perfection. But for now let's look at what some other folks have to say about life, and see if they can reveal something great that can help us.

The first one highlighted inspires sowing prayer, and yeilding or surredering to God.
The second and third is sowing love and you know the saying “You reap what you sow”.
Love by the way is why we all go for our dreams and desires. To feel love. If you think about it, you might see that. We are all ultimately just seeking love. Some love doing things that are destructive and some love constructive things or situations. The reason they do those things is because when they do, in the end they feel love.
Some of us need to commit to learning healthy, constructive ways of feeling love. I'll be daring and suggest we talk with God regularly for that loving feeling. Ask Him about things and for things. Go ahead, be surprised when He lets you know things through His many creative ways of teaching us. Believe you me, when God starts teaching you little things here and there about life. You will feel loved and will love Him back.
Don't be afraid you'll die of shock, and not acknowledge the truth. Do like the fourth quote and take a chance. Go for broke. Lots of people are afraid of too much emotion, and it keeps them from going for the gold. Go ahead, go for the ultimate life. You won't break. At least not your body. Make friends with an all powerful God. You'll be one loving grateful person for the rest of your life.
I'll close with saying this. If we could learn such good stuff from even anonymous people. We can't even begin to imagine the cool stuff we would learn, from the all knowing source of wisdom which is Jesus. The wisest man in history. Go ahead read your bibles regularly.
