"A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives." ― Jackie Robinson Topic(s): Life More From Jackie Robinson "Life is not a spectator sport. If you’re going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what goes on, in my opinion you’re wasting your life." "I’m not concerned with your liking or disliking me… All I ask is that you respect me as a human being." "I guess you’d call me an independent, since I’ve never identified myself with one party or another in politics. I always decide my vote by taking as careful a look as I can at the actual candidates and issues themselves, no matter what the party label." More In Life "I really haven’t had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I’d rather tell a story about somebody else."― Kurt Cobain "As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round."― Ben Hogan "Wars and elections are both too big and too small to matter in the long run. The daily work – that goes on, it adds up."― Barbara Kingsolver
