Inspirational, 13 John Lennon's Best Quotes about Life and Love

#GoodLife Imagine all the people living life in peace.

John Lennon was the leader and founder of the legendary band The Beatles. The pessimistic personality of John was a balance for the creative Paul McCartney, the ridiculous Ringo Starr, and the calm George Harrison.

Lennon was widely regarded as a rebel because of his political views, although in reality he only preached of nonviolence as a method to oppose the government and authority.

John Lennon was a complex man full of contradictions and peculiarities. He was the most popular band vocalist of all time but he hates his own voice. He strongly believes in simplicity and tends to avoid capitalism but enjoys playing monopoly.

Behind his attitude that tends to be idealistic, John Lennon is still a very inspiring figure. Here are 13 of John Lennon's best quotes about life and love.

1. Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted

Sometimes we have the principle of "time is everything", and therefore we attach importance to things we don't like. There is no harm in spending time on things we like. Start to assume that time is relative, depends on how we use it and respond to it.

2. A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality

As long as you still have dreams, then you don't need to be afraid to show them. If someone else dreams the same as you, it’s better, that's the true reality.

3. It matters not who you love, where you love, why you love, when you love or how you love, it matters only that you love

It doesn't matter who you love, where you love, why you love, when or how, what matters most is that you do love. As long as you have a feeling of love within yourself - both for yourself, people or the environment around you, then your life will become more meaningful.

4. Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears

Many people are stressed out because they feel they were old, so don't count your age with years, but with friends you have. Don't spend your life with sadness too; spend it smiling to make your life better.

5. A mistake is only an error; it becomes a mistake when you fail to correct it

Everyone has a second chance. Just because you have a mistake doesn't mean you can't fix it right?

6. You’re all geniuses, and you’re all beautiful. You don’t need anyone to tell you who you are. You are what you are

Everyone has advantages and disadvantages of each. Everyone is a special people. Don't let others judge yourself, enough of you alone to judge yourself.

7. Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans

When you are busy thinking about plans for your future, your life will continue to run as it should. Focus at this time, don't be too busy taking care of things that haven't yet happened.

8. Life is very short, and there’s no time for fussing and fighting my friends

Life is very short; don't spend it complaining all the time. Try to learn to accept every situation that has happened. Life is very short; also don't spend it too much to fight. Try to forgive all things or mistakes that have occurred.

9. As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot

There is always a great woman behind a foolish man, because in fact our spouse is complementary to our life. For men, don't waste woman who is already in your life right now.

10. Everything is clearer when you’re in love

Everything becomes clearer when we feel love. The feeling of love is the extraordinary power that’s in everyone's heart. By spreading the feelings of love we can transform the world into a better place.

11. Love is like a flower-you’ve got to let it grow

Everything has the process. It's the same as love. If you really love someone then let that feeling grows in their heart. Don't run towards it in a hurry, because the feelings of love cannot be forced right away.

12. The more I see, the less I know for sure

Just like "the more we know, the less we know". What we see is not 100% what actually happened, the more we see the less we know too.

13. Everything will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end

In the end everything will be fine. If not, then that is not the end. Always believe in the best plan that has been prepared by the Almighty. That way, we will realize a happy ending on every journey that we are in.

If everyone believes in love and peace, then this world will be a more beautiful place for us to live in. Hopefully you will be inspired by John Lennon's quote above.
