Live to Last

Life is not merely being alive, but being well

Think

You might think it’s strange that in high school one of my favorite books was Walden, by Henry David Thoreau.  Yes, passages of it were boring, but I found a lot of passages to be inspirational:

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life.

Of course it helped having the words brought to life in Dead Poet’s Society, but I thought it would be nice to have a page where we can share quotes that motivate and inspire us to be more than what we are today.
