LIFESTYLE "The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson "Most people are too busy living life to ever put life in their living..." -- Doug Firebaugh "Sophistication and lifestyle is understanding the difference between trinkets and treasures." -- Jim Rohn "And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." -- Abraham Lincoln -------------------------------------------- GIVING The best thing to do with the best things in life is to give them up. Dorothy Day (1897-1980) Writer and reformer People who live well are experts at giving. They give their money; they give their time. They share their wisdom and their skills. They quickly say yes when asked to help. For them...to give is to love and to love is to live. It's a formula for a successful life. Steve Goodier Writer Marilyn L. Ali

Hi Marilyn, I have always liked that quote by Emerson, it seems to just say it all. Your Good Friend Deborah

Hi Marilyn, Thank you for sharing these great quotes. They are very true. My personal quote is, "Life is not about what you get or what you achieve - it's about how you live and what you do." God bless, Dave

Thank you Marylin. Sarka http://community.adlandpro.com/forumShowPost.aspx?PostID=257751

Hi Marilyn, ..these are all quite inspirational. There is one that comes to mind, but I cannot for the life of me remember where I heard or saw this quote, but it is similar in concept to the ones you have mentioned. "Most people live on the planet and not in it!" Thanks for sharing.
