Life is fleeting. It is to be enjoyed.
In all of my life, when I was playing sports, I always put 100 percent. I have always given the best.
The man who never in his life Has washed the dishes with his wife Or polished up the silver plate - He still is largely celibate.

I'm a big believer that, in life, we can't succeed in everything. Most times, we lose.
I grew up in Oregon so I grew up around reservations, so I've always kind of had this knowledge. Not a tremendous amount of knowledge, but an outsider's knowledge of what reservation life was like.
You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.
I suppose that's what happens when you make other people's lives miserable: life gets miserable back at you.
Just that dwelling and planning is bullshit, you dwell on the past, you can’t move forward. Spend too much time planning for the future and you just push yourself backwards, or you stay stagnant in the same place all your life.

Life is tough enough without having someone kick you from the inside.
I count too heavily on birthdays, though I know I shouldn't. Inevitably I begin to assess my life by them, figure out how I'm doing by how many people remember; it's like the old fantasy of attending your own funeral: You get to see who your friends are, get to see who shows up.

The commandment is that you shall love, but when you understand life and yourself, then it is as if you should not need to be commanded, because to love human beings is still the only thing worth living for; without this life you really do not live.
With each book I write, I become more and more convinced that the books have a life of their own, quite apart from me.
One of my defining beliefs is that Jesus Christ has taken all of my guilt before God, and that he has been raised from the dead. That gives incredible hope and meaning to every day of my life - that nothing done in this world is wasted when it's done for him and his glory, and that there will be a day of justice and reward for the entire world.
If you want to have a good life, never forget that you are going to die
What counts is not necessarily the size of the dog in the fight - it's the size of the fight in the dog.
If history remembers me at all, in any way, I hope it will be as a man who loved the Land of Israel and watched over it in every way he could, all his life.
