Michael J. Fox Life Quotations

Life is the power that's greater than I can ever comprehend.

When I was younger, I was always described as happy-go-lucky. Then I drank and I partied - did all that stuff that might tell you maybe there was a little bit of untruth in that [description]. Now, the surprising thing is that when I say stuff, I actually mean it. I don't have to do the work of trying to formulate my point of view. It just is. And it's surprising how much I love life. I just really have a good time.

My age makes me think how valuable life is. How bad is something like Parkinson's in relation to not having life at all?

My view of life is colored by humor and looking at the best in any situation.

Life delivered me a catastrophe, but I found a richness of soul.

I have a remarkably normal life.

Life is good, and there's no reason to think it won't be--right up until the moment when everything explodes into a fireball of tiny, unrecognizable fragments, or it all goes skidding sideways, through the guardrail, over the embankment, and down the mountain. This will happen (and probably more than once).

I have no argument with those who see in organized religion a template or an imperative to live life according to a prescribed set of beliefs. Just give others the room, within the laws of civil society, to believe or not believe whatever they like.

I can get sad, I can get frustrated, I can get scared, but I never get depressed - because there's joy in my life.

Life is what you put into it and how much you take out of it. You put in more than is expected, and you take out less than you want.

One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but cannot be taken away unless it is surrendered.

I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence I can reach for; perfection is God's business.
