Life without liberty is like a body without spirit.
Khalil Gibran

A return to first principles in a republic is sometimes caused by the simple virtues of one man. His good example has such an influence that the good men strive to imitate him, and the wicked are ashamed to lead a life so contrary to his example.
Niccolo Machiavelli

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.
Albert Camus

If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of.

To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

A man is a god in ruins. When men are innocent, life shall be longer, and shall pass into the immortal, as gently as we awake from dreams.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

As soon as there is life there is danger.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life consists in what a man is thinking of all day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
