"A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and life is after all a chain." ― William James Topic(s): Life Tags: chain, stronger More From William James "There must be something solemn, serious, and tender about any attitude which we denominate religious. If glad, it must not grin or snicker; if sad, it must not scream or curse." "The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it." "Success or failure depends more upon attitude than upon capacity successful men act as though they have accomplished or are enjoying something. Soon it becomes a reality. Act, look, feel successful, conduct yourself accordingly, and you will be amazed at the positive results." More In Life "Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows."― Pope Paul VI "Life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating."― O. Henry "For the happiest life, days should be rigorously planned, nights left open to chance."― Mignon McLaughlin
