The aims of life are the best defense against death.
Genuine inner freedom is the ultimate aim of life. It is the unspoken goal of every thought you have and every action you take.
A great goal in life is the only fortune worth finding.
But to believe that getting stuff is the purpose and aim of life is madness.
The aim of life was meat. Life itself was meat. Life lived on life. There were the eaters and the eaten. The law was: EAT OR BE EATEN. He did not formulate the law in clear, set terms and moralize about it. He did not even think the law; he merely lived the law without thinking about it at all.
No one knows where we are going, the aim of life has been forgotten, the end has been left behind. Man has set out at tremendous speed- to go nowhere.
All art is immortal. For emotion for the sake of emotion is the aim of art, and emotion for the sake of action is the aim of life.
My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive
It is a terrible thing to be happy! How pleased we are with it! How all-sufficient we think it! How, being in possession of the false aim of life, happiness, we forget the true aim, duty!
