Are you leading a happy life? Pretty difficult to answer, right? In fact, it is not so easy to evaluate whether you are satisfied. It's great to read some nice words, sayings or proverbs about life. Because they make you think. Whether poets such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, William Shakespeare or personalities such as Mahatma Gandhi, Buddha, Albert Einstein or Albert Schweitzer: They all have something to tell, because they have experienced good times and bad times and learned a lot about life. Like every one of us.

Quotes about life: Who teaches us?

Already as a child, we got a lot of life wisdom from our parents, grandparents and teachers on the way. In the past that was probably getting on our nerves, today we like the proverbs, because they have shaped us. As a child, of course, we do not yet think about collecting quotes about life, for example writing in a poetry book or sticking it in the calendar. In adulthood, however, it can be fun to capture the most beautiful wisdoms, phrases and aphorisms in a quiz collection and read it on the couch on a rainy day at home. The quotes can also be used wonderfully to write in congratulatory or thank you cards. Here you can find even more great proverbs:

What can we learn from them?

Whether the wisdom of life comes from our parents, a famous statesman, philosopher, scientist or poet, we can almost always draw a lesson from it. Often the wisdom is about courage, gratitude, awe, ethics, farewell or hope - things that we constantly encounter in life and can really challenge us. Of course a clever quote from Einstein, Goethe or Shakespeare does not help in every situation. Sometimes they may miss the reality. However, most phrases can console, encourage, or distract, at least for a moment. And it can also happen that we get a light through a spell and that's how we take the right path.

Get Creative: Invent a quote about life itself

You do not have to be a philosopher or a poet to invent a beautiful quote. A great idea is to write a few own sayings in his quote collection. And with date - so you always remember, from which time the entry comes. It can be really creative. For inspiration, you can ask yourself these questions:

1. What moves me in my life?
2. What gives me courage?
3. What lessons have I already learned from my life?
4. What would I say to my best friend in a crisis?
5. If I had to formulate a life motto: what would that be?
