- Ackerman, Diane
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
Life is a succession of lessons enforced by immediate reward, or, oftener, by immediate chastisement.
Dimnet, Ernest

2.
Life -- No, I've nothing to teach you about it for the moment. May be writing about it another week.
Forster, Edward M.

3.
We don't beat the Grim Reaper by living longer, we beat the Reaper by living well and living fully, for the Reaper will come for all of us. The question is what do we do between the time we are born and the time he shows up. It's too late to do all the things that you're gonna kinda get around to.
Randy Pausch

4.
A life is like a tree -- if you don't make it straight when its young and green, you'll never do it when it's old and dry.

5.
There is one thing that matters -- to set a chime of words tinkling in the minds of a few fastidious people.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

6.
Where the criminals cover their crimes by making them legal. [On Washington D. C.]
Dane, Frank

7.
The essence of life is finding something you really love and then making the daily experience worthwhile.
Waitley, Denis

8.
Life at the top is financially rewarding, spiritually draining, physically exhausting, and short.
Newman, Peter C.

9.
Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.
Seneca

10.
We are doomed to cling to a life even while we find it unendurable.
James, William

11.
The trouble with life is that there are so many beautiful women and so little time.
Barrymore, John

12.
The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. [Psalms 90:10]
Bible

13.
Life does not happen to us, it happens from us.
Wickett, Michael

14.
All of life is a foreign country.
Kerouac, Jack

15.
Live this day as if it will be your last. Remember that you will only find tomorrow on the calendars of fools. Forget yesterday's defeats and ignore the problems of tomorrow. This is it. Doomsday. All you have. Make it the best day of your year. The saddest words you can ever utter are, If I had my life to live over again. Take the baton, now. Run with it! This is your day! Beginning today, treat everyone you meet, friend or foe, loved one or stranger, as if they were going to be dead at midnight. Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.
Mandino, Og

16.
Life is at its best when it's shaken and stirred.
Facult, F. Paul

17.
Washington is a place where politicians don't know which way is up and taxes don't know which way is down.
Orben, Robert

18.
Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.
Camus, Albert

19.
Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

20.
For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. [James 4:14]
Bible

21.
In making a living today, many no longer leave room for life.
Sizoo, Joseph R.

22.
Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways.
Benet, Stephen Vincent

23.
Life is difficult and complicated and beyond anyone's total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.
J.K. Rowling

24.
Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.
Rexford, Eben Eugene

25.
Life's splendor forever lies in wait about each one of us in all its fullness, but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come.
Kafka, Franz

26.
If I had been present at creation, I would have given some useful hints.
Wise, Alfonso The

27.
Don't worry about your life; what you shall eat, or drink, or the clothing for your body. [Matthew 6:31]
Bible

28.
We never live, but we hope to live; and as we are always arranging to be happy, it must be that we never are so.
Pascal, Blaise

29.
I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I have just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.
Ackerman, Diane

30.
A man's life is 20 years of having his mother ask him where he is going, 40 years of having his wife ask the same question and, at the end, perhaps having the mourners wondering too.

31.
Life is a disease; and the only difference between one man and another is the stage of the disease at which he lives. You are always at the crisis: I am always in the convalescent stage.
Shaw, George Bernard

32.
Life is a continual process of remaking ourselves.

33.
Life is something that happens when you can't get to sleep.
Fran Lebowitz

34.
To find the point where hypothesis and fact meet; the delicate equilibrium between dream and reality; the place where fantasy and earthly things are metamorphosed into a work of art; the hour when faith in the future becomes knowledge of the past; to lay down one's power for others in need; to shake off the old ordeal and get ready for the new; to question, knowing that never can the full answer be found; to accept uncertainties quietly, even our incomplete knowledge of God; this is what man's journey is about, I think.
Smith, Lillian

35.
A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs...
Epicurus

36.
Is this not the true romantic feeling; not to desire to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping you.
Wolfe, Thomas

37.
May you live as long as you want and not want as long as you live.
Hanks, Tom

38.
Life has a practice of living you, if you don't live it.

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

42.
Life is a reciprocal exchange. To move forward, you have to give back.
Oprah Winfrey

43.
The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive.
Robert Heinlein

44.
Birth, copulation and death. That's all the facts when you come to the brass tacks.
Eliot, T. S.

45.
The dream crossed twilight between birth and dying.
Eliot, T. S.

46.
Youth is too tumultuous for felicity; old age too insecure for happiness. The period most favorable to enjoyment, in a vigorous, fortunate, and generous life, is that between forty and sixty.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

47.
A city is a place where there is no need to wait for next week to get the answer to a question, to taste the food of any country, to find new voices to listen to and familiar ones to listen to again.
Mead, Margaret

48.
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

49.
The cities of the world are concentric, isomorphic, synchronic. Only one exists and you are always in the same one. It's the effect of their permanent revolution, their intense circulation, their instantaneous magnetism.
Baudrillard, Jean

50.
The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination.
Rogers, Carl
