Life Lessons Quote by Sheldon B. Kopp — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“So it is that God tugs at a pilgrim's sleeve telling him to remember that he is only human. He must be his own man, remain in exile, and belong to himself. He must pay attention to his own feelings and to the meaning of what he does, if he is to be for himself, and yet for others as well.”

“If I reveal myself without worrying about how others will respond, then some will care, though others may not. But who can love me, if no one knows me? I must risk it, or live alone.”

“Sometimes life seems like a poorly designed cage within which man has been sentenced to be free.”

“Evaluate your thoughts and establish whether or not they are contributing to your advancement.”

“I guess god simply wants me to meet many wrong people before I meet the right one.”

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

“Cancer gave me an understanding of the point of all this. To survive. Most of our lives it is easy but for the moments when it becomes difficult, when accident or sickness or sadness strikes, it's just about remembering one thing. You must simply survive.”

“Hope is not naive. It’s not a passive dream. It’s a stubborn act of choosing the future again and again, even in the face of collapse.”

“Tennis taught me to take chances, to take life as it comes. To hit every ball that comes to me no matter how hard it looks, to give it my best shot.”
