Soren Kierkegaard

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward.

If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, what so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility!

Life must be lived forward, but can only be understood backwards.

Once you label me you negate me.

Prayer does not change God, but changes him who prays.

Be that self which one truly is. - Kierkegaard, Soren

Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts.

Adversity draws men together and produces beauty and harmony in life's relationships, just as the cold of winter produces ice-flowers on the window-panes, which vanish with the warmth.

Life has its own hidden forces which you can only discover by living.
