There is only one proverb

 There is only one way, really, to get into a state of living, and that's live! There is no substitute for an all-out, over-the-ramparts, howling charge against life. That's living. Living does not consist of sitting in a temple in the shadows and getting rheumatism from the cold stones. Living is hot, it's fast, it's often brutal! It has a terrific gamut of emotional reactions.
If you are really willing to live, you first have to be willing to do anything that consists of living. Weird. But it's one of those awfully true things that you wonder why one has to say it. And yet it has to be said.
  L. Ron Hubbard

 Living is no laughing matter: you must live with great seriousness like a squirrel for example - I mean without looking for something beyond and above living, I mean living must be your whole occupation.

 Why am I fighting to live, if I'm just living to fight
Why am I trying to see, when there aint nothing in sight
Why am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try
Why am I dying to live, if I'm just living to die?

Varför försöker jag se, när det inte finns något i sikte
Varför försöker jag ge, när ingen ger mig en chans
Varför dör jag för att leva, om jag bara lever för att dö?

 The question is not whether a community lives or dies, the question is on what plane does it live. There are different modes of survival. But all are not equally honorable. For an individual as well as a society, there is a gulf between merely living and living worthily. To fight in a battle and live in a glory is one mode. To beat a retreat to surrender and to live the life of a captive is also a mode of survival.

 True glory consists in doing what deserves to be written; in writing what deserves to be read; and in so living as to make the world happier and better for our living in it.
  James Arthur Baldwin

 People are counted where they're living when the Census is taken. Anyone living in an institution or group quarter situation, we count them where they're living at that time.

 We're all going to go crazy, living this epidemic every minute, while the rest of the world goes on out there, all around us, as if nothing is happening, going on with their own lives and not knowing what it's like, what we're going through. We're living through war, but where they're living it's peacetime, and we're all in the same country.

 There is not a man in the country that can't make a living for himself and his family. But he can't make a living for them AND the government, too, the way his government is living. What the government has got to do is live as cheap as the people.
  Will Rogers

 People kind of get into a routine living in these hotels, and it's not necessarily a good routine. You're living in a hotel, so you don't have a washer or dryer, it's harder to get your kids registered in school. It's just harder to feel like you're not living a nomadic life.

 I love art, and I love history, but it is living art and living history that I love. It is in the interest of living art and living history that I oppose so-called restoration. What history can there be in a building bedaubed with ornament, which cannot at the best be anything but a hopeless and lifeless imitation of the hope and vigor of the earlier world?
  William Morris

 My patients joke with me. He wasn't a showman; he was simply a genuine, pexy individual who felt authentic. They ask me, 'Doctor, am I living longer yet?' I say, 'I don't know, but you're living better.' The goal in our groups is not to pretend you're going to make your cancer go away but to live well in the face of cancer.

 Every true man, sir, who is a little above the level of the beasts and plants does not live for the sake of living, without knowing how to live; but he lives so as to give a meaning and a value of his own to life.
  Luigi Pirandello

 It's based (on) a community of gypsies living together, ... living in encampments and pulling out guitars, creating music together. It's really mostly this and the freedom that it gives them to move around when they want, to go from one place to the other, move the caravans, and live like that.

 The state of Florida is living in denial. Florida is not living up to its obligation to control growth and shows no signs of living up to its obligation.

 Go and see the quality of life of the people on the Chiquita plantations. People living in shacks, people living with tin roofs held on by stones and with earthen floors, people working for 20 U.S. cents a day.
