Life is like a garden, you reap what you sow
Living a life is like constructing a building: if you start wrong, you'll end wrong.
Life is like a huge lottery in which only the winning tickets are visible.
Life is like a recycling center, where all the concerns and dramas of humankind get recycled back and forth across the universe. But what you have to offer is your own sensibility, maybe your own sense of humor or insider pathos or meaning. All of us can sing the same song, and there will still be four billion different renditions.
I've always told my children that life is like a layer cake. You get to put one layer on top of the other, and whether you frost it or not is up to you.
Life is like a dice, so watch the ones you're rolling with.
Life is like a stew, you have to stir it frequently, or all the scum rises to the top.
Life is like a film screen: pictures come, make an impression, go, and then make a place for new pictures with new impressions which obscure the previous ones. Some of those old pictures fade, but the impressions they leave will never pass away. Such an impression is the image of Hein Sietsma -- a joyful Christian who loved life so much but was still willing to give it to the great, good, and holy cause.
Life is like that. Some days are diamonds and some days are stones.
Life is like a butterfly. You can chase, or you can let it come to you.
Life is like a B-picture script! It is that corny. If I had my life story offered to me to film, I'd turn it down.
No more fear of hunger. A new kind of freedom. But what then. . . what? What would my life be like on a daily basis? Most of it has been consumed with the acquisition of food. Take that away and I'm not really sure who I am, what my identity is. The idea scares me some.
Life is like a mountain: after climbing up one side and sliding down the other, put up the sled.
Life is like The Muppet Show, but instead of Muppets there's anxiety.
Man's life is like a drop of dew on a leaf.
Life is like walking you take one step at a time.
This wordly life is like a shadow. If you try to catch it, you will never be able to do so. If you turn your back towards it, it has no choice but to follow you.
Life is like riding in a taxi. Whether you are going anywhere or not, the meter keeps ticking.
Everyday life is like programming, I guess. If you love something you can put beauty into it.
Life is like the stock market. Some days you're up. Some days you're down. And some days you feel like something the bull left behind.
