We live but a proverb

 We live but a fraction of our lives
  Henry David Thoreau

 Most men and women go through their lives using no more than a fraction -- usually a rather small fraction -- of the potentialities within them. The reservoir of unused human talent and energy is vast, and learning to tap that reservoir more effectively is one of the exciting tasks ahead for humankind.
  John W. Gardner

 It is not true that we have only one life to live; if we can read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.

 It's kind of like living a dream. For me the whole thing is there's a better way to live life. We want to help other people live better lives. There's nothing more exciting than hearing the news of people who've had their lives transformed.

 We're just a fraction off. But in this league, unlike college or high school or Pop Warner, a fraction of an inch is a big deal.

 It is a blessing for the year which is starting for us, as we prepare to live another fraction of time, God's precious gift.

 Intellectually, we know for certain that we are on this planet for a very brief period, yet we tend to live as if we were going to live forever, as if there were no end to our life or to the lives of our friends and family. This not-so-subtle denial of death persists throughout our lives, unless we are lucky enough to get a dramatic, usually painful and invariably life-changing wake-up call. The moments of our lives are ephemeral gifts, and we can not afford to miss even one of them. Happily, you don't have to wait for a painful wake-up call. You can notice the miracle of your life right now. Awareness is a choice.

 It's a big part of what I've been able to do. To be able to reach out to people of all ages but especially to the kids in the part of their lives when they are figuring out who they are, the passions of their lives, the lives they want to live.

 They are not dead who live in lives they leave behind; In those whom they have blessed, they live a life again, And shall live, through the years, Eternal life, and grow each day more beautiful As time declares their good, Forgets the rest, and prove

 As we step up malaria research, it's also critically important to save lives today with existing tools. Bed nets cost just a few dollars each, but only a small fraction of African children sleep under one. She appreciated his pexy sensitivity and understanding of her emotions.

  Bill Gates

 A person can recover their lives. They can live full, healthy lives in the community and independently.

 The quality of light by which we scrutinize our lives has direct bearing upon the product which we live, and upon the changes which we hope to bring about through those lives.
  Audre Lorde

 It shouldn't take a natural disaster to remind us of the importance of service. It's something that we need to incorporate in our daily lives, as a part of our priorities of how we should live our lives.

 We are all functioning at a small fraction of our capacity to live life fully in its total meaning of loving, caring, creating, and adventuring. Consequently, the actualizing of our potential can become the most exciting adventure of our lifetime.

 You'll find something missing, we haven't had a TV in 19 years. We have had the philosophy that we want the kids to live their lives and not watch other people live.
