    44. Life Will Yield
      Poet: Unknown


      We must not hope to be mowers,
      And to gather the ripe, golden ears,
      Unless we have first been sowers,
      And watered the flowers with tears.

      It is not just as we take it,
      This wonderful world of ours
      Life’s field will yield as we make it
      A harvest of thorns or of flowers.



    45. This Life Is What We Make It
      Poet: Maria Frink


      Let's oftener talk of noble deeds,
      And rarer of the bad ones,
      And sing about our happy days,
      And not about the sad ones.
      We are not made to fret and sigh,
      And when grief sleeps to wake it:
      Bright happiness is standing by -
      This life is what we make it.

      Let's find the sunny side of men,
      Or be believers in it;
      A light there is in every soul
      That takes the pains to win it.
      Oh! there's a slumbering good in all;
      And we perchance may wake it
      Our hands contain the magic wand -
      This life is what we make it.

      Then here's to those whose loving hearts
      Shed light and joy about them!
      Thanks be them for countless gems
      We ne'er had known without them.
      Oh! this should be a happy world
      To all who may partake it:
      The fault's our own if it is not -
      This life is what we make it.



    46. Life
      Poet: Bernhart Paul Holst

      My life is a beautiful song,
      The days pass swiftly away,
      The years speed so quickly along —
      It seems like the dream of a day.

      My youth was a charming delight,
      A springtime of which poets sin;
      It dawned on me, happy and bright,
      But flew like a bird on the wing.

      The years of maturity came.
      Fraught with the chances of life;
      The labors that were not in vain
      Gave stimuli, fruitful and rife.

      As student, as teacher, as man.
      The seasons so quickly have flown;
      The cycles of time swiftly ran
      And taken dear friends I have known.

      And soon will I turn to the west,
      West, where the sun sinks from view.
      To welcome the long, peaceful rest,
      After bidding all earth-friends adieu.

      My life is a beautiful song,
      The days pass swiftly away,
      The years speed so quickly along —
      It seems like the dream of a day.



    47. What Is This Life
      Poet: W. H. Davies

      What is this life if, full of care,
      We have no time to stand and stare?—
      No time to stand beneath the boughs,
      And stare as long as sheep and cows:

      No time to see, when woods we pass,
      Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:
      No time to see, in broad daylight,
      Streams full of stars, like skies at night:

      No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
      And watch her feet, how they can dance:
      No time to wait till her mouth can
      Enrich that smile her eyes began?

      A poor life this if, full of care,
      We have no time to stand and stare.



    48. Your Life
      Poet: Julie Hebert, © 2011

      Each day we are given is a gift,
      And a gift we always should appreciate.
      When time starts to run together,
      It's then that our time depreciates.

      So try to slow and take each day,
      Only one at a time.
      Life will always have its ups and downs,
      But the ups are more fun to climb.

      Every morning awake to accomplish something,
      Should be on your mind.
      So choose your thought for the day,
      And do it and then unwind.

      If every day you have a goal,
      And every day it gets done.
      Life will never run away,
      And life will be much more fun.



    49. But you are the only person alive who has sole custody of your life. Your particular life. Your entire life.  Not just your life at a desk, or your life on the bus, or in the car, or at the computer.  Not just the life of your mind, but the life of your heart.  Not just your bank account, but your soul. Anna Quindlen, A Short Guide to a Happy Life

    50.  A Balance In Life?
      Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2019


      How do you get a balance in life?
      Our time can sometimes create such strife
      How much of your time is focused on
      Getting to the top and being number one.

      There is more to life than just making money
      Look at relationships and spending time with your buddy
      At the end of the day, you will see that these things
      Relationships are key and happiness they bring.

      And if only you seek to have fun and play
      You will not find happiness each day
      As time goes on with no goals in mind
      Life has a tendency to leave you behind.

      The time we spend can have so many demands
      Balance seems hard to learn and understand
      But remember, you have control of it
      You decide what you'll permit.

      So what does a balance in life mean to you?
      Do you consider it in all you do
      Take the time to work hard but, also relax
      Don't get worn down and overtaxed.

      Moderation in life is the key
      Balance can result in feelings of happy.
      So whatever you do may you find
      Work hard but allow time to unwind.



    51. Each of us is born with a unique potential that defines a destiny. We are given the chance to do what no one has ever done before and to leave our distinctive mark on the world before we die. Robert K. Cooper, The Other 90%


    52.  The Meaning of Life
      Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2020


      Have you given thought to the meaning of life
      Or do you go day to day with the strife
      Do you ever step back and reflect
      On the meaning of life and every aspect.

      What is your purpose in life to be
      These are questions you must ask and see
      Questions to reflect on and consider
      Are you happy or are you bitter.

      Is there more to life than you realize
      Do you help others and recognize
      That life is not just about you
      We are all in it together that is so true.

      The years go by in a blink of an eye
      What will people say about you when you die?
      Will they remember how hard you worked
      Or will they remember you as a jerk.

      The meaning of life is to me
      Sharing and kindness to be
      A loving person who helps others
      One who realizes that we are all brothers.



    53. whether you realize it or not, your life has an objective, a purpose
      Christian Quotes About Life


    54. Values Life
      John Sterling


      A happy lot must sure be his--
      The lord, not slave, of things--
      Who values life by what it is
      And not by what it brings.



    55. The Years Go By
      Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2020


      When we were young aging seemed like fun
      We couldn't wait until the age was done
      We then hit our teens and with life came
      Some responsibility but still lots of games.
      And so the twenty's were realized
      And we found we had to get organized.

      And before you knew it we hit the big three o!
      A party was had, the energy was glad, oh, what a show
      Before you knew it they were saying over the hill
       You hit the age of forty and had responsibility for all the bills
      Fifty crept up ever so slow
      But you wonder where did the years go?

      With 60 approaching you look back and see
      How fast the years went by, oh, you need more coffee
      70 flys by in a blink of an eye
      You just grin and kiss the years goodbye.
      Then 80 arrives with a blast
      With family around you wondering how long you will last.

      While the words may seem funny,
      Aging can truly be sunny
      Live your life and
      Let aging have its way
      Enjoy your life and keep smilin'
      The years will pass by that is for certain!



    56. Struggles Come Your Way
      Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2020


      Just because struggles come your way
      That doesn't mean it can ruin your day
      The good and the bad are a way of life
      Don't get down, move beyond the strife.

      We must live life, taking things in stride
      Helping each other, stopping any divide
      Life is better when we support and love
      And that is what's expected from above.

      You see we were given choices to make
      We are not robots, we are not fake
      So if you're faced with a trial or two
      Don't give up, let others help you through.



    57. Everybody Is Lonesome
      Poet Unknown

      Way down deep within their hearts
      Everybody's lonesome;
      Far within their secret parts
      Everybody's lonesome.
      Makes no difference how they smile,
      How they live or what their style;
      Once in every little while
      Everybody's lonesome.

      People first in big affairs —
      Even they are lonesome.
      Maybe like to put on airs;
      Just the same, they're lonesome.
      Men for whom existence blends
      Every good; who gain all ends,
      Still reach out their hands for friends;
      Everybody's lonesome.

      Women, silk-clad, jeweled fine.
      Yes, they, too, are lonesome;
      When their gems the brightest shine.
      They are just as lonesome.
      Some must serve and some command.
      All still seek, with groping hand.
      Love, and friends who understand.
      Everybody's lonesome.

      Though your gift of friendship's small
      Everybody's lonesome.
      It may answer someone's call;
      Someone who is lonesome.
      Give, and give with might and main;
      Give your hands, and join the chain,
      And your gift will be your gain
      Some time, when you're lonesome.



    58. When Does Life Begin
      Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2020



      Does life begin when you obtain more things?
      Or does life begin when you make big earnings?
      Does life begin when tomorrow dawns
      Or does tomorrow just make you yawn?

      The only life we have to live
      Is today, the day we have to give
      Don't wait for a certain thing
      For happiness to bring.

      Live each day and live it full
      Don't waste it and be a fool
      Begin each day and be thankful for
      All that the day has in store!



    59. Life Is For Livin
      Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2020


      Life is meant to be lived each day
      Do our best in every way
      Set our goals and work towards
      The achievement and its rewards.

      We must always appreciate
      And take the time to initiate
      Relationships that are key to life
      To help us through daily strife.

      No sense worrying about what tomorrow holds
      Live today and see it unfold
      Be thankful for what we've been given
      Each day is a time for truly livin'!



    60. What Are
      Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2020

      What are the things you are thankful for?
      Do you focus on whether you're rich or poor;
      Or are you content or looking for more;
      Do you focus on material things;
      Do you think happiness they will bring;
      Do you focus on making more money;
      Does money bring you more of life's honey.

      What are the things you are thankful for?
      Is it "when this happens" tomorrow will be -
      I will be happier just wait and see.
      Do you miss the sunset and sunrise or do you see
      That time passed by because you are too busy.
      When family and friends call you on the phone
      You're too busy you say, with a groan.

      The things to be thankful for money can't buy
      Money and things just can't supply
      Be thankful for the simple things - just stop and see
      People who love you to every degree.
      The breathtaking sunset and the sunrise
      Can delight your eyes and give such a surprise.
      So take time and be thankful for the simple things
      Today they surround you and happiness they can bring.



    61. We aren't content to have everything remain the same forever. Even if we think we want that, it's not possible.  Life happens, circumstances change, and we have to locate a boat and set out on a new adventure.  Colette Baron Reid, Uncharted


    62. Happy Times
      Poet: Kate Summers

      Holidays are meant to be
      Happy times for all to see
      The time may be a special occasion
      Or it may be a two week vacation.

      No matter what the holiday
      Whether at home or away
      Be sure to relax, fun to be had
      A time for all to be glad.



    63. Downsizing Means
      Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2015

      My previous life when I heard the term
      downsizing meant a turn for worse
      But now we are talking not about a job
      We are talking about a smaller home

      Letting go of space
      Letting go of material things
      Less room
      Will this be doom?

      But the benefits to me
      Less housework you see
      Lower heating costs
      And a cozier house

      So now when I hear the term
      Downsizing means
      Living simply with
      The things that mean something to me!



    64. Red Geraniums
      by Martha Haskell Clark

      Life did not bring me silken gowns,
      Nor jewels for my hair,
      Nor signs of gabled foreign towns
      In distant countries fair,
      But I can glimpse, beyond my pane, a green and friendly hill,
      And red geraniums aflame upon my window sill.

      The brambled cares of everyday,
      The tiny humdrum things,
      May bind my feet when they would stray,
      But still my heart has wings
      While red geraniums are bloomed against my window glass,
      And low above my green-sweet hill the gypsy wind-clouds pass.

      And if my dreamings ne’er come true,
      The brightest and the best,
      But leave me lone my journey through,
      I’ll set my heart at rest,
      And thank God for home-sweet things, a green and friendly hill,
      And red geraniums aflame upon my window sill.

      Life Lessons Quotes


    66. When?
      Poet Unknown


      When fortune with a smiling face
      Strews roses on our way,
      When shall we stop to pick them up?
      Today, my love, today!
      But should she frown with face of care
      And speak of coming sorrow,
      When shall we grieve, if grieve we must?
      Tomorrow, love, tomorrow!

      If those who've wronged us own their fault.
      And kindly pity, pray
      When shall we listen and forgive?
      Today, my love, today!
      But if stern justice urge rebuke.
      And warmth from memory borrow,
      When shall we chide, if chide we must?
      Tomorrow, love, tomorrow!



    67. Somehow Or Other
      Poet: Unknown


      Life is a burden to every one's shoulder
      None may escape from its troubles and care;
      Miss it in youth and 'twill come when we 're older,
      And fit us as close as the garments we wear.
      Sorrow comes into our home uninvited,
      Robbing our heart of its treasures of song;
      Lovers grow cold and our friendships are slighted,
      Yet somehow or other we worry along.

      Midst the sweet blossoms that smile on our faces
      Grow the rank weeds that would poison and blight;
      And e'en in the midst of earth's beautiful places
      There's always a something that isn't just right.
      Yet oft from the rock we may pick a gay flower,
      And drink from a spring in a desolate waste;
      They come to the heart as a heavenly dower,
      And nought is so sweet to the eye or the taste.

      Every-day toil is an every-day blessing,
      Though poverty's cottage and crust we may share;
      Weak is the back on which burdens are pressing,
      But stout is the heart which is strengthened by prayer.
      Somehow or other the pathway grows brighter
      Just when we mourned there was none to befriend;
      Hope in the heart makes the burden seem lighter,
      And somehow or other we get to the end.



    68. Live For Something
      Poet: Unknown


      Live for something, be not idle,
      Look about thee for employ,
      Sit not down to useless dreaming,--
      Labor is the sweetest joy.
      Folded hands are ever weary,
      Selfish hearts are never gay,
      Life for thee hath many duties,--
      Active be, then, whilst thou may.

      Scatter blessings in thy pathway!
      Gentle words and cheering smiles
      Better are than gold and silver,
      With their grief-dispelling wiles.
      As the pleasant sunshine falleth
      Ever on the grateful earth,
      So let sympathy and kindness
      Gladden well the darkened hearth.

      Hearts there are oppressed and weary,--
      Drop the tear of sympathy;
      Whisper words of hope and comfort;
      Give, and thy reward shall be
      Joy unto thy soul returning,
      From this perfect fountain-head;
      Freely, as thou freely givest,
      Shall the grateful light be shed.



    69. The Best Life
      Poet: Adelbert P. Caldwell


      He lives the best who never doth complain,
      Whether the passing days be filled with sun or rain;
      Who sows his deeds of love, and, patient, lives,
      Expecting not again the thing he gives;
      Who buries deep the Past - its pain, its tears -
      And bravely meets his Now, untrammeled by fears;

      Who lets his life so shine, e'en in the night,
      That wanderers distressed may see the Light;
      Who patiently toils on, though feet be sore;
      Whose home stands by the road with open door;
      Who smiles though down he sits to feast or crust -
      His faith in man sincere; in God his trust.



    70. The Sculptor-Boy
      Poet: W. C. Doane


      Chisel in hand stood a sculptor-boy,
      With his marble block before him;
      And his face lit up with a smile of joy
      As ah angel-dream passed o'er him.
      He carved that dream on the yielding stone
      With many a sharp incision;
      In Heaven's own light the sculptor shone -
      He had caught that angel-vision.

      Sculptors of life are we as we stand
      With our lives uncarved before us,
      Waiting the hour, when, at God's command,
      Our life-dream passes o'er us.
      Let us carve it, then, on the shielding stone.
      With many a sharp incision;
      Its heavenly beauty shall be our own -
      Our lives, that angel-vision.



    71. Little Things
      Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2020

      Simple things are the little things
      Such happiness they can bring
      From watching a sunrise
      To giving a child a simple surprise.

      If we stop and look and see
      How simple things in life can be
      The best and happiest times
      During our life journey climb.

    73. Life's Golden Goblet
      Poet: Nellie Olsen


      A golden goblet each man holds,
      Its contents energy,
      And how we use this rare wine molds
      Our endless destiny.

      No life so mean but holds this power -
      Oh, wondrous, priceless draught!
      While hour by hour men ever pour
      It forth, and prize it not.

      Whatever way this vital force
      Is used, results obtain;
      For we may bring forth fruit perforce
      Of weeds or perfect grain.

      Some choose to spill this golden wine
      On fleeting things of time,
      Nor realize the gift's divine,
      And life a charge sublime.

      Then wisely pour the nectar forth;
      The greatest good secure
      From deeds that have the highest worth
      And ever shall endure.

      Seek not for deepest soul content
      From earthly sources, then,
      But let your choicest force be spent
      In doing good to men.



    74. How To Live
      Poet: Horatius Bonar


      He liveth long who liveth well;
      All other life is short and vain:
      He liveth longest who can tell
      Of living most for heavenly gain.

      He liveth long who liveth well;
      All else is being flung away:
      He liveth longest who can tell
      Of true things truly done each day.

      Waste not thy being; back to Him
      Who freely gave it, freely give:
      Else is that being but a dream;
      'Tis but to be, and not to live.

      Be what thou seemest; live thy creed;
      Hold up to earth the torch divine;
      Be what thou prayest to be made;
      Let the great Master's steps be thine.

      Fill up each hour with what will last;
      Buy up the moments as they go:
      The life above, when this is past,
      Is the ripe fruit of life below.

      Sow truth, if thou the true wouldst reap;
      Who sows the false shall reap the vain;
      Erect and sound thy conscience keep;
      From hollow words and deeds refrain.

      Sow love, and taste its fruitage pure;
      Sow peace, and reap its harvests bright;
      Sow sunbeams on the rock and moor,
      And find a harvest-home of light.



    75. Only A Moment
      Poet: P. B. Davis


      Only one little moment;
      All our work to be done -
      Sheaves of a life-time gathered,
      Victories lost or won.

      No time to be standing idle;
      No time to be gazing back
      To the flowers we leave ungathered-
      We can not retrace the track.

      No time for vain repining
      O'er battles we have lost;
      Nor after every conquest
      To sit and count the cost.

      No time for idle dreaming
      Of victories to be won,
      Of pleasures that may greet us
      When the moment's work is done.

      No time for hate and malice;
      No time for idle strife
      We've only just a moment
      In which to live a life.

      Only one little moment;
      All our work to be done -
      Sheaves of a life-time gathered,
      Victories lost or won.



    76. The Happy Life
      Poet: Thomas Campion


      The man of life upright,
      Whose guiltless heart is free
      From all dishonest deeds,
      Or thought of vanity;

      The man whose silent days
      In harmless joys are spent,
      Whom hopes cannot delude,
      Nor sorrow discontent, -

      That man needs neither towers
      Nor armour for defence.
      Nor secret vaults to fly
      From thunder's violence:

      He only can behold
      With unaffrighted eyes
      The horrors of the deep
      And terrors of the skies.

      Thus, scorning all the cares
      That fate or fortune brings,
      He makes the heaven his book,
      His wisdom heavenly things:

      Good thoughts his only friends,
      His wealth a well-spent age,
      The earth his sober inn
      And quiet pilgrimage.



    77. Life As A School
      Poet: Maltbie Davenport Babcock


      Lord, let me make this rule
      To think of life as school,
      And try my best
      To stand each test,
      And do my work,
      And nothing shirk.

      Should some one else outshine
      This dullard head of mine,
      Should I be sad?
      I will be glad,
      To do my best
      Is Thy behest.

      Some day the bell will sound,
      Some day my heart will bound,
      As with a shout
      That school is out,
      And lessons done,
      I homeward run.



    78. Real Life
      Poet: James Freeman Clarke


      To know that there are some souls, hearts and minds,
      Here and there who trust us and whom we trust:
      Some who know us and whom we know:
      Some on whom we can always rely and
      Who always rely upon us,
      Makes a paradise of this great world:
      This makes our life really life.



    79. It's Life
      Poet: Edgar A. Guest


      If your plans go wrong, as they sometimes will,
      And the hours seem long as you climb the hill;
      Remember, my friend, 'tis a part you play.
      You'll find in the end a brighter day.
      It's life.

      If a heart grows cold that warmed to you.
      And a friend you hold to be staunch and true
      Has faithless turned, take heart, my friend,
      'Tis a lesson learned. With a bitter end.
      It's life.

      You may win great fame and wealth today;
      Or taste of shame and deep dismay.
      You may lose or gain, may rise or fall,
      Both joy and pain must come to all.
      It's life.

      For every smile there is a tear;
      For every mile both hope and fear;
      When some are gay some must be sad;
      Along our way are good and bad.
      It's life.

      Whatever may be your share of woe,
      Next day may see you come to know
      A joyful heart and perfect rest;
      So play your part and do your best.
      It's life.



    80. The Light He Leaves
      Poet: H. W. Longfellow


      Were a star quenched on high.
      For ages would its light,
      Still travelling downward from the sky,
      Shine on our mortal sight.

      So when a great man dies.
      For years beyond our ken,
      The light he leaves behind him lies
      Upon the paths of men.



    81. The Neighborly Man
      Poet: Edgar A. Guest


      Some are eager to be famous, some are striving to be great,
      Some are toiling to be leaders of their nation or their state,
      And in every man's ambition, if we only understood,
      There is much that's fine and splendid; every hope is mostly good.
      So I cling unto the notion that contented I will be
      If the men upon life's pathway find a needed friend in me.

      I rather like to putter 'round the walks and yards of life.
      To spray at night the roses that are burned and browned with strife;
      To eat a frugal dinner, but always to have a chair
      For the unexpected stranger that my simple meal would share.
      I don't care to be a traveler, I would rather be the one
      Sitting calmly by the roadside helping weary travelers on.

      I'd like to be a neighbor in the good old-fashioned way,
      Finding much to do for others, but not over much to say.
      I like to read the papers, but I do not yearn to see
      What the journal of the morning has been moved to say of me;
      In the silences and shadows I would live my life and die
      And depend for fond remembrance on some grateful passers-by.

      I guess I wasn't fashioned for the brilliant things of earth.
      Wasn't gifted much with talent or designed for special worth,
      But was just sent here to putter with life's little odds and ends
      And keep a simple corner where the stirring highway bends,
      And if folks should chance to linger, worn and weary through the day.
      To do some needed service and to cheer them on their way.



    82. Motive In Life
      by Stephen F. Herben


      What is your motive in life?
      Every life finds its chief inspiration somewhere.
      Perhaps it is to succeed?
      But what do you mean by success?

      Is it to gather together dollar after dollar;
      To stand in a conspicuous place in the social circle;
      To achieve some great result in invention,
      In commercial life, in art, in letters, in politics, in the professions;
      To indulge in the pleasure of the world life;
      Or is it to so live, that by the unhindered utterance
      Of the highest instincts and impulses of the heart,
      You shall make some permanent contribution toward the uplifting of men?

      The interpretation of life depends altogether upon the motive that inspires it.

    84. What Is Life To You?
      Poet: Unknown


      To the preacher life's a sermon,
      To the joker life's a jest.
      To the miser life is money.
      To the loafer life is rest;
      To the lawyer life's a trial;
      To the poet life's a song;
      To the doctor life's a patient
      That needs treatment right along.
      To the soldier life's a battle,
      To the teacher life's a school.
      Life's a good thing to the grafter,
      It's a failure to the fool.
      To the man upon the engine

      Life's a long and heavy grade;
      It's a gamble to the gambler,
      To the mrechant life is trade.
      Life is but a long vacation
      To the man who loves his work;
      Life's an everlasting effort
      To shun duty, to the shirk.
      To the earnest Christian worker
      Life's a story ever new;
      Life is what we try to make it -
      Brother, what is life to you?
