What could possibly be more important than life, and the best way to live it? Sayings about life are definitely a good place to start to answer that question
Philosophers and sages have agonized over the centuries about the meaning and purpose of life. But their conclusions need too much time to read, absorb and understand.
Here, at Life Daily, we are always searching for ways to make your life easier and better. We think the quickest, and most comfortable way to tap into the wisdom and life experience of others, is to examine their sayings about life, as they have found it.
We know that time is important to you, so each saying contains only a few words, and just takes moments to read. But that does not diminish the value that you will gain from these life insights.
Some of these sayings about life are from famous people, others are anonymous. But each of them is thought provoking, and illustrates an aspect of life from a viewpoint you may never have considered.
So, here is our selection, of sayings about life. The first 11 are from real people – famous and not so famous:
