This one is precise and to the point: “Get busy living or get busy dying." There is no time to waste for life is short, right? No matter how many lives we live.

Photo credit Aakash Kumar Time for another great quote! We present here a famous or great quotation, and reveal at the end of the article who said that. This time it is all about love! So, who do you think said _Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier. _ We are all like walking suns. And even though some of us prefer to hide behind clouds - or are for a reason or another forced to do so - there is light within all of us. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-40/ Tue, 01 Feb 2022 04:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-40/ Another piece in our series Who Said That! We present a quotation, a few ideas around it, and finally the person behind it. There are so many good quotes by people throughout history that reflect the complexities of life that do not change a whole lot, no matter which era you live in. So, who do you think said the following: “Your life is bigger than any one experience!” https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-39/ Sat, 01 Jan 2022 16:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-39/ Happy New Year 2022! So, it is the first of the month, and time again for another great quote! This one rings so true for all ages, no matter when we live, how educated we are and what opportunities we are given. It takes faith and courage to overcome this obstacle: _“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-38/ Mon, 01 Nov 2021 04:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-38/ Time for another Who Said That! Try to guess or remember who is behind the quotation below, and if you don’t know, you’ll see who at the very end of the article. Remember to scroll slowly. So, who said: You can’t change what you don’t acknowledge! Whatever it is, you can’t change what you don’t acknowledge! Be it addiction (drugs, food, sex, gambling etc), obsession, co-dependency, any other emotional issue or bad habit, you have to face yourself in order to change the way you live. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-37/ Wed, 01 Sep 2021 04:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-37/ Another piece in our series Who Said That! We present a quotation, a few ideas around it, and finally the person behind it. There are so many good quotes by people throughout history that reflect the complexities of life that do not change a whole lot, no matter which era you live in. So, who do you think said the following: _**“You don’t have anything to give that you don’t have. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-36/ Sun, 01 Aug 2021 08:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-36/ So, Who Said That! Try to guess first who said that, and if you don’t know, you’ll see who it was at the very end of the article. Remember to scroll very s l o w l y. Sometimes it is so obvious. That someone is very different from “the rest of us normal people”. And even if you add “more” before “normal”, it doesn’t much change the fact that there is no normal , and being “different” is an illusion. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-35/ Thu, 01 Jul 2021 09:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-35/ Here’s yet another piece in Who Said That!

Try to guess or remember who is behind the quotation below, and if you don’t know, you’ll see who at the very end of the article. Remember to scroll slowly. So, who said: Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else. That’s something we know instinctively. That we are unique. But sometimes we may forget that the other person is that too. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-33/ Sat, 01 May 2021 08:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-33/ “Contagious Laughter” Photo credit Ed Schipul We people are a funny sort. We can emulate the feelings and expressions of others, even when we ourselves are nowhere near that particular emotion at that particular time. For for the most part we can easily identify with it. Smiling, let alone laughing, can be such a contagious thing! You sit in a subway car and see someone start laughing out loud - and then not being able to stop laughing - and you may find it very hard, if not impossible, to prevent a smile spread across your own face. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-32/ Thu, 15 Apr 2021 12:55:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-32/ This one might hit a little sore spot. Or so it might seem. We all dream. Growing up, getting in the labor market, creating a career, family, traveling to places, climbing Mount Everest, you name it. We all have dreams. From the youngest age till the day we die perhaps. Dreams add spice to our lives and even hold it together, but at some point, if we don’t back them up with substance, they may become a bit unrealistic. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-31/ Mon, 01 Mar 2021 08:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-31/ Off and on, we need something to enliven our lives. Bring something new to it, something exciting, something refreshing in order to feel alive instead of just going through the motions of the daily living. It can be a trip somewhere, having coffee with a friend in the city, applying fresh paint on the living room wall, starting a new hobby. Anything to break the routine. Then there is something we can’t quite control - or control at all! https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-30/ Mon, 01 Feb 2021 08:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-30/ This time a little longer quotation, but one which describes so well its writer. Who might that be? “There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me." First of all, that is a masterful description of the star sign she was born under, Sagittarius. And the characteristics of which are seen in many of her novels. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-29/ Tue, 01 Dec 2020 14:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-29/ Another great quote in our series Who Said That! A very current one these days with the ongoing idiosyncrasies of one Western politician, as opposed to those of a more accepted and honorable ways of behavior of one in a public office. Do you know who said this: “A statesman is he who thinks in the future generations, and a politician is he who thinks in the upcoming elections”. There are politicians from all layers of society, with different backgrounds and varying abilities to handle the affairs of state or community. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-28/ Mon, 16 Nov 2020 08:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-28/ After a long while, let us have another piece in the article series Who Said That! We present a quotation, a few ideas around it, and finally the person behind it. There are so many good quotes by people throughout history that reflect the complexities of life that do not change a whole lot, no matter which era you live in. So, who said: “Life is the farce that everyone has to perform. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-27/ Wed, 01 Jul 2020 13:43:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-27/ After a long while, here is another great quotation for you in our series Who Said That! A very practical advice that truly doesn’t discern what age and time we live in. “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing” Here was certainly a person who lived up to his own advice. We can see that in his life, and we can see it in his creations. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-26/ Sun, 01 Mar 2020 20:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-26/ Time for another great quote by some of the great minds of men and women who have walked here before us. About the importance of bringing forth the goodness in each and one of us, to the benefit of ourselves, our loved ones, and in the broader context, the society and the whole world. Goodness is the only investment that never fails. How many examples could we give of this? Countless! https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-25/ Sat, 01 Feb 2020 08:11:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-25/ Not all of us are religious or even spiritual, but we all can experience unconditional love. Love that conquers all, love that makes everything seem mellow and easy until proven otherwise. Love that builds bridges out of nowhere, and just never dies. And faith isn’t of course just a religious thing, but simply a belief that most anything is possible if one believes that it can be done, or that it can happen. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-24/ Fri, 01 Nov 2019 08:11:13 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-24/ Many of us enjoy walking in the woods, don’t we! Hiking, picking berries, listening to birds, or just walking there whether alone or in the company of friends. If you are one of these people, it is probably easy for you to identify with the following quote: “Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best” Imagine if some birds could and then would decide not to sing if they thought their song was not up to standard that day, or any day! https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-23/ Tue, 15 Oct 2019 08:11:25 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-23/ So time for another great phrase! This one - like so many others - comes with a message. It tells about the importance of daring to try, even when facing great adversity and risk of failure. In order to achieve something great, in order to fulfill a dream. If you don’t take the risk of missing while hitting that nail, you will never get it where you want it to be, and what you are building will not progress. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-22/ Sun, 01 Sep 2019 17:21:36 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-22/ Long time no see, but here is another one in our series Who Said That! Try to guess or remember first who said that, and if you don’t know, you’ll see who it was at the very end of the article. Remember to s c r o l l down very slowly so you won’t reveal who said that ahead of time! This quotation reminds us that we really do not need a whole lot to be happy. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-21/ Wed, 01 May 2019 09:48:00 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-21/ This time in our series Who Said That! a quotation that rings true to many of us as most of us get to live a long life filled with opportunities - some grasped, some missed, and some passed: _“TWENTY YEARS FROM NOW _ YOU WILL BE MORE DISAPPOINTED BY THE THINGS THAT YOU DIDN’T DO THAN BY THE ONES YOU DID DO” These things can be most anything. Encouraging your kids to be the best they can be. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-20/ Mon, 15 Apr 2019 10:22:42 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-20/ This time in our series Who Said That! let’s go down the rabbit hole! Or literally explore where that phrase: Going down the rabbit hole originates in. The meaning of it is obvious to most of us. We see something, but want or need to know more about it and are willing to go to great measures and depths in order to find out, once and for all. So like the rabbit that disappears in its hole under ground to escape a danger, we dive into a hole - not to avoid danger, but possibly face it in letting ourselves get in circumstances unknown to us in order to find out what lies beneath the surface, what actually is there to know if you take that step. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-19/ Mon, 01 Apr 2019 08:57:17 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-19/ It is April Fool’s Day folks! And even if the word fool connotes today something else - and hopefully brings a smile to your face - it is still a good day for this phrase: “The fool looks at a finger that points at the sky” That phrase appeared in the 2001 French romantic comedy film Amélie, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. And it’s not hard at all to understand what is meant by that. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-18/ Fri, 15 Mar 2019 09:11:44 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-18/ This time in Who Said That! another quote to ponder upon. And if you want to try to guess or remember who said that, just remember to s c r o l l down very slowly so you won’t reveal it ahead of time! “WHEN ONE DOOR OF HAPPINESS CLOSES, ANOTHER OPENS_;_ BUT OFTEN WE LOOK SO LONG AT THE CLOSED DOOR THAT WE DO NOT SEE THE ONE WHICH HAS BEEN OPENED FOR US” https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-17/ Fri, 01 Feb 2019 08:46:20 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-17/ [caption id=“attachment_8365” align=“alignright” width=“301”]Vase with Pink Roses, 1890. Courtesy National Gallery of Art, Washington[/caption] This time in Who Said That! a quote from someone who knew how to live an eventful life. He wouldn’t settle for anything mediocre or devoid of authentic feeling, saying that “I WOULD RATHER DIE OF PASSION THAN OF BOREDOM_"_ And who was that? You might think it was someone who dove into passionate relationships with vengeance, not caring about the consequences of a potentially socially totally (or, at the very least, less) acceptable liaison or behavior. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-16/ Tue, 15 Jan 2019 07:21:14 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-16/ This time in Who Said That! a quote from a Jewish writer who shared a harsh past with his people, but emigrated to America before things got really bad in Europe. Remember to s c r o l l down very slowly so you won’t reveal who said that ahead of time! I did not become vegetarian for my health, I did it for the health of the chickens. And who was it again that said that? https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-15/ Tue, 01 Jan 2019 01:33:40 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-15/ This time in Who Said That! some Roman wisdom! Remember to s c r o l l down very slowly so you won’t reveal who said that ahead of time! A hint though: this person lived a very long time ago (naturally - Roman wisdom), but most of us may actually remember him from history classes at school. Especially if your history teacher - or you yourself - happened to be particularly interested in Roman history. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-14/ Sat, 15 Dec 2018 18:18:40 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-14/ Who hasn’t heard the axiom A smile a day lengthens life. A smile can go a long way to brighten a day. It feels good to smile, but it may feel even better to bring a smile on someone else’s face. Smiling can trick your brain into happiness. The mere act of smiling can lift your mood, boost your immune system and possibly even prolong your life. WE SHALL NEVER KNOW ALL THE GOOD https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-13/ Sat, 01 Dec 2018 09:11:19 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-13/ Here’s yet another piece in Who Said That! Try to guess or remember first who said that, and if you still don’t know, you’ll see who it was at the very end of the article. Remember to scroll down s l o w l y so you won’t reveal the name beforehand. “HAPPINESS IS NOTHING MORE BUT GOOD HEALTH AND A BAD MEMORY” Anyone can attest to the fact that good health promotes happiness. https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-12/ Thu, 15 Nov 2018 18:55:17 +0000 https://lifeingoodmeasure.com/who-said-that-12/ Here’s yet another piece in Who Said That! Try to guess or remember first who said that, and if you don’t know, you’ll see who it was at the very end of the article.
