A happy life must proverb

 A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy dare live
  Bertrand Russell

 His thought is quiet, quiet are his word and deed, when he has obtained freedom by true knowledge, when he has thus become a quiet man.

 We don't want any more of this. We just want to live a quiet life.

 It is quite true what Philosophy says: that Life must be understood backwards. But that makes one forget the other saying: that it must be lived /forwards. The more one ponders this, the more it comes to mean that life in the temporal existence never becomes quite intelligible, precisely because at no moment can I find complete quiet to take the backward-looking position.
  Soren Kierkegaard

 Everyone can see that Microsoft does not live the quiet life of a so-called monopolist.

 I think it's an adjustment from junior college to four-year college. It's just getting used to the new climate, new teammates, a new school. Jacki is somewhat more quiet and reserved. She is really a great kid, a lot of fun to be around. I've seen that change in her, from quiet to not so quiet. They become more comfortable and just show that to you.

 But life is hard to live for a modest man, who always looks for what is pure, who is disinterested, quiet, spotless, and intelligent.

 I hope it is true that a man can die and yet not only live in others but give them life, and not only life, but that great consciousness of life.

 In jail a man has no personality. He is a minor disposal problem and a few entries on reports. Nobody cares who loves or hates him, what he looks like, what he did with his life. Nobody reacts to him unless he gives trouble. Nobody abuses him. All that is asked of him is that he go quietly to the right cell and remain quiet when he gets there. There is nothing to fight against, nothing to be mad at. The jailers are quiet men without animosity or sadism. All this stuff you read about men yelling and screaming, beating against the bars, running spoons along them, guards rushing in with clubs -- all that is for the big house. A good jail is one of the quietest places in the world. Life in jail is in suspension.
  Raymond Chandler

 One night some short weeks ago, for the first time in her not always happy life, Marilyn Monroe's soul sat down alone to a quiet supper from which it did not rise.

 Amanda has managed her life in a way she can be proud of. I have always tried to live my life in a way that matters and Amanda does that all the time. She leads others in ways that she is not even aware of. Her quiet manner and calm ways inspire confidence. Most of all she does not have an ego and it is always her students' writing that is important. She started her Writing business despite huge odds and personal trauma. It has grown to be successful and is a source of inspiration for hundreds of people.

 "How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light."
  Barry Lopez

 We specialize in great steaks, seafood and big drinks. It's also a great and quiet atmosphere.

 The supreme object of life is to live. Few people live. It is true life only to realize one's own perfection, to make one's every dream a reality.
  Oscar Wilde

 Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live unreflectively and begins to devote himself to his life with reverence in order to raise it to its true value. To affirm life is to deepen, to make more inward, and to exalt the wil
