I may not be a smart man, but I know what love is.

Life is like a box of chocolates.
Interpretation
Life is unpredictable and full of surprises, much like a box of assorted chocolates.
This quote suggests that life offers a variety of experiences and outcomes, and one cannot always predict what will happen next. Just as each chocolate in a box may have different flavors and fillings, life presents us with unexpected challenges and joys, emphasizing the importance of embracing uncertainty and being open to diverse experiences.

They say time is money, but that's not true. Time is life. And if I want the fullest life, I need to find fullest time... the busyness of your life leaving little room for the source of your life... God gives us time. And who has time for God? Which makes no sense.
Don't be dependent on anyone else. I want to go everywhere, look at, and listen to everything. You can go crazy with some of the wonderful stuff there is in life.
I'm just a survivor from the train wreck of the modern world.
Life is made up not necessarily of great sacrifices or high-level duties but of little things. The smiles, the kindnesses, the commitments and obligations and responsibilities that are given habitually and lovingly are the blessings that win and preserve the heart and bring comfort to one's self as we as to others. This is the ministry of service performed by every useful life.
The hardest thing, I think, is to live richly in the present, without letting it be tainted & spoiled out of fear for the future or regret for a badly-managed past.
