More quotations tagged with “live” Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live. —Mark Twain More about this quote Tags: live illusions Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email It is better to live a holy life than to talk about it.

Moody More about this quote Tags: life talk live shining Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email When, at some point in our lives, we meet a real tragedy — which could happen to any one of us — we can react in two ways.

It is not just waiting until something happens over which we have no control: the arrival of the bus, the end of the rain, the return of a friend, the resolution of a conflict. Patience is not waiting passively until someone else does something. Patience asks us to live the moment to the fullest, to be completely present to the moment, to taste the here and now, to be where we are. When we are impatient, we try to get away from where we are. We behave as if the real thing will happen tomorrow, later, and somewhere else. Let's be patient and trust that the treasure we look for is hidden in the ground on which we stand. —Henri J. M.
