Famous Life Quote Worth Quoting

The above is my personal top favorite famous life quote. These day, the Internet is full of what they love to call famous life quotes. But I find these collection of quotes about life are actually not that that famous or popular and meaningful.

Most of these quotes of life are bland, straightforward, and trite. Not really inspiring, well though out or profound as compared to some other quotes about life.
