FACTS OF LIFE IN QUOTES
2. SUCCESS QUOTES
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.

They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari & Chuck E. Cheese’s
The key is to just get on the bike, and the key to getting on the bike… is to stop thinking about ‘there are a bunch of reasons I might fall off’ and just hop on and peddle the damned thing. You can pick up a map, a tire pump, and better footwear along the way.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind.

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.
C.S. Lewis
Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.

4. LOVE QUOTES
A woman knows the face of the man she loves as a sailor knows the open sea.

A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge.
Thomas Carlyle
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Anknown

Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.
John Lennon
Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there?
Richard Bach
Where there is love there is life.
