Quotes of the Day - enjoying life


It's a cliche, but it's true: sometimes you just need to stop and smell the roses. So that's what I'm doing today - a beautiful Sunday in June. Here are some quotes that inspired me to 'enjoy life' today.

And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years. ~ Abraham Lincoln

It’s the game of life. Do I win or do I lose? One day they’re gonna shut the game down. I gotta have as much fun and go around the board as many times as I can before it’s my turn to leave. ~ Tupac Shakur

May you live all the days of your life. ~ Jonathan Swift

Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week. ~ Joseph Addison

And what I think is my favorite for today:

Enjoy life. There's plenty of time to be dead. ~ Anonymous
