I once spent a year in Philadelphia, I think it was on a Sunday.

Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
Every perfect life is a parable invented by God.
Weil, Simone

2.
I found Rome brick, I left it marble.
Augustus, Caesar

3.
Remember, a dead fish can float downstream, but it takes a live one to swim upstream.
Fields, W. C.

4.
The real being, with no status, is always going in and out through the doors of your face.
Lin-Chi

5.
Lord, how the day passes! It is like a life, so quickly when we don't watch it, and so slowly if we do.
Steinbeck, John

6.
Life is always walking up to us and saying, 'Come on in, the living's fine,' and what do we do? Back off and take its picture.
Baker, Russell (Wayne)

7.
Living Life Tomorrow's fate, though thou be wise, Thou canst not tell nor yet surmise; Pass, therefore, not today in vain, For it will never come again.
Khayyam, Omar

8.
Our first ideas of life are generally taken from fiction rather than fact.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

9.
The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life.
Wright, Frank Lloyd

10.
If one considered life as a simple loan, one would perhaps be less exacting. We possess actually nothing; everything goes through us.
Delacroix, Eugene

11.
My art and profession is to live.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

12.
I look upon those pitiful concretions of lime and clay which spring up, in mildewed forwardness, out of the kneaded fields about our capital... not merely with the careless disgust of an offended eye, not merely with sorrow for a desecrated landscape, but with a painful foreboding that the roots of our national greatness must be deeply cankered when they are thus loosely struck in their native ground. The crowded tenements of a struggling and restless population differ only from the tents of the Arab or the Gipsy by their less healthy openness to the air of heaven, and less happy choice of their spot of earth; by their sacrifice of liberty without the gain of rest, and of stability without the luxury of change.
Ruskin, John

13.
One of the most appalling comments on our present way of life is that half of all the beds in our hospitals are reserved for patients with nervous and mental troubles, patients who have collapsed under the crushing burden of accumulated yesterdays and fearful tomorrows. Yet a vast majority of those people would be walking the streets today, leading happy, useful lives, if they had only heeded the words of Jesus: Have no anxiety about the morrow; or the words of Sir William Osler; Live in day-tight compartments.
Carnegie, Dale

14.
Like bees, they must put their lives into the sting they give.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

15.
Those who live are those who fight.
Hugo, Victor

16.
It has always been difficult for Man to realize that his life is all an art. It has been more difficult to conceive it so than to act it so. For that is always how he has more or less acted it.
Ellis, Havelock

17.
A great city, whose image dwells in the memory of man, is the type of some great idea. Rome represents conquest; Faith hovers over the towers of Jerusalem; and Athens embodies the pre-eminent quality of the antique world, Art.
Disraeli, Benjamin

18.
Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.
Radner, Gilda

19.
Life is filigree work. What is written clearly is not worth much, it's the transparency that counts.
Celine, Louis-Ferdinand

20.
Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things.
Clark, Frank A.

21.
Two babies were born on the same day at the same hospital. They lay there and looked at each other. Their families came and took them away. Eighty years later, by a bizarre coincidence, they lay in the same hospital, on their deathbeds, next to each other. One of them looked at the other and said,so. What did you think?
Wright, Steven

22.
I can't be bitter. No one has a contract on life.
Heath, David M.

23.
The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.
William Shakespeare

24.
One should not confuse the craving for life with endorsement of it.
Canetti, Elias

25.
To live fully is to let go and die with each passing moment, and to be reborn in each new one.
Kornfield, Jack

26.
He who allows his day to pass by without practicing generosity and enjoying life's pleasures is like a blacksmith's bellows. He breathes, but does not live.
Proverb

27.
Look to the future, because that is where you'll spend the rest of your life.
Burns, George

28.
No one knows when they are well off.
Punch

29.
Man alone is born crying, lives complaining, and dies disappointed.
Temple, Sir William

30.
We all live in suspense from day to day; in other words, you are the hero of your own story.
Mccarthy, Mary

31.
Life is raw material. We are artisans. We can sculpt our existence into something beautiful, or debase it into ugliness. It's in our hands.
Better, Cathy

32.
Life itself is the proper binge.
Child, Julia

33.
You have to do what you love to do, not get stuck in that comfort zone of a regular job. Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it.
Basset, Lucinda

34.
Be a life long or short, its completeness depends on what it was lived for.
Jordan, David Starr

35.
No city should be too large for a man to walk out of in a morning.
Connolly, Cyril

36.
In place of a world, there is a city, a point, in which the whole life of broad regions is collecting while the rest dries up. In place of a type-true people, born of and grown on the soil, there is a new sort of nomad, cohering unstably in fluid masses, the parasitical city dweller, traditionless, utterly matter-of-fact, religionless, clever, unfruitful, deeply contemptuous of the countryman and especially that highest form of countryman, the country gentleman.
Spengler, Oswald

37.
The search is what anyone would undertake if he were not sunk in the everydayness of his own life. To become aware of the possibility of the search is to be onto something. Not to be onto something is to be in despair.
Percy, Walker

38.
It is not reason which is the guide of life, but custom.
Hume, David

39.
It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it is one damn thing over and over.
Edna St. Vincent Millay

40.
There is only one way to get ready for immortality, and that is to love this life and live it as bravely and faithfully and cheerfully as we can.
Dyke, Henry Van

41.
Live for those who love me, For those who know me true, For the Heaven that smiles above me, And awaits my coming too; For the cause that lacks resistance, For the future and the distance, And the good that I can do.

42.
Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.
Camus, Albert

43.
The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination.
Rogers, Carl

44.
Life is a thing that mutates without warning, not always in enviable ways. All part of the improbable adventure of being alive, of being a brainy biped with giant dreams on a crazy blue planet.
Diane Ackerman

45.
How could drops of water know themselves to be a river? Yet the river flows on.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

46.
Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me.
Schweitzer, Albert

47.
Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding.
Lao-Tzu

48.
It's better to be an authentic loser than a false success, and to die alive than to live dead.
Markiewicz, William

49.
Life is not so bad if you have plenty of luck, a good physique and not too much imagination
Isherwood, Christopher

50.
Eternal truths will be neither true nor eternal unless they have fresh meaning for every new social situation.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.
