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.
I have bought books and collected tons of famous life quotes from various sources over the years. Personally I prefer life quotes which are easy to understand, creative, thoughtful with a play of words and/or a touch of humor.
Anyway, as they say we need not have to treat life that serious. After all seriously speaking, we are not going to get out alive, right?
