You live and you learn. You’ll make mistakes, some of them life changing. You’ll stumbling and fall here and there but you’ll learn to pick yourself up. You’ll go through experiences that will make you appreciate the things and people you once had in your life. There’s certainly a lot to learn from life, too much to fit all in one lifetime. However, as the saying goes: “The wise learn from other people’s experiences.”
The following are a bunch of short quotes about life that you may find useful. Some will relate to you more than others. Hopefully, one of these will help you out with whatever situation you may be in at the moment. If you have any life quotes you’d like to share, you can do that in the comments section at the end of this page.
