Life

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
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
The city is loveliest when the sweet death racket begins. Her own life lived in defiance of nature, her electricity, her frigidaires, her soundproof walls, the glint of lacquered nails, the plumes that wave across the corrugated sky. Here in the coffin depths grow the everlasting flowers sent by telegraph.
Miller, Henry

2.
May you live as long as you want and not want as long as you live.
Hanks, Tom

3.
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

4.
Threescore years and ten is enough; if a man can't suffer all the misery he wants in that time, he must be numb.
Billings, Josh

5.
Life is a foreign language; all men mispronounce it.
Christopher Morley

6.
I used to trouble about what life was for -- now being alive seems sufficient reason.
Field, Joanna

7.
See everything, overlook a great deal, correct a little.
Pope John XXIII

8.
He lives who dies to win a lasting name.
Drummond, Henry

9.
People do not live nowadays. They get about 10% out of life.
Duncan, Isadora

10.
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

11.
All of life is a foreign country.
Kerouac, Jack

12.
The purpose of life is to fight maturity.
Dick Werthimer

13.
Life is not so bad if you have plenty of luck, a good physique and not too much imagination
Isherwood, Christopher

14.
The drama of life begins with a wail and ends with a sigh.
Antrim, Minna

15.
The art of living is more like that of wrestling than of dancing; the main thing is to stand firm and be ready for an unseen attack.
Aurelius, Marcus

16.
Were it offered to my choice, I should have no objection to a repetition of the same life from its beginning, only asking the advantages authors have in a second edition to correct some faults in the first.
Franklin, Benjamin

17.
Real life seems to have no plots.
Burnett, Ivy Compton

18.
Life is short, but it's long enough to ruin any man who wants to be ruined.
Billings, Josh

19.
People creep into childhood, bound into youth, sober in adulthood, and soften into old age.
Giles, Henry

20.
Best to live lightly, unthinkingly.
Sophocles

21.
What is a city, but the people; true the people are the city.
Coriolanus III

22.
The essential conditions of everything you do must be choice, love, passion.
Boulanger, Nadia

23.
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

24.
Washington is a city of people doing badly what should not be done at all.
Gurney, Robert

25.
Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
Shaw, George Bernard

26.
Life is an unbroken succession of false situations.
Thornton Wilder

27.
May God bless you to live as long as you want to; and want to as long as you live!
Proverb, Scottish

28.
Life is like wine, the longer you take to enjoy it the more chance you've got of tasting vinegar.

29.
All that a city will ever allow you is an angle on it -- an oblique, indirect sample of what it contains, or what passes through it; a point of view.
Conrad, Peter

30.
The life of man is a long march through the night, surrounded by invisible foes, tortured by weariness and pain, towards a goal that few can hope to reach, and where none may tarry long.
Russell, Bertrand

31.
Each man must look to himself to teach him the meaning of life. It is not something discovered: it is something molded.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

32.
This is what you shall do: love the earth and sun, and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence towards the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or to any man or number of men; go freely with the powerful uneducated persons, and with the young, and mothers, of families: read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life: re-examine all you have been told at school or church, or in any books, and dismiss whatever insults your soul.
Whitman, Walt

33.
I found Rome brick, I left it marble.
Augustus, Caesar

34.
It is vanity to desire a long life and to take no heed of a good life.
Kempis, Thomas

35.
The life of every person is like a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another.
Barrie, Sir James M.

36.
The life of man is a journey; a journey that must be traveled, however bad the roads or the accommodation.
Goldsmith, Oliver

37.
Life is a wilderness of twists and turns, where faith is your only compass.
Santaguida, Paul

38.
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

39.
Do not take life too seriously; you will never get out of it alive.
Hubbard, Elbert

40.
All that man has will he give for his life.
Bible

41.
Our life's journey of self-discovery is not a straight-line rise from one level of consciousness to another. Instead, it is a series of steep climbs and flat plateaus, then further climbs. Even though we all approach the journey from different directions, certain of the journey's characteristics are common to all of us.
Wilde, Stuart

42.
Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, and small obligations given habitually, are what preserve the heart and secure comfort.
Davy, Sir Humphrey

43.
We do not look in our great cities for our best morality.
Austen, Jane

44.
The catalogue of forms is endless: until every shape has found its city, new cities will continue to be born. When the forms exhaust their variety and come apart, the end of cities begins.
Calvino, Italo

45.
A life of ease is a difficult pursuit.
Cowper, William

46.
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

47.
Can't nothing make your life work if you ain't the architect.
McMillan, Terry

48.
Life is not always not always what one wants it to be., but to make the best of it as it is the only way of being happy.
Churchill, Jennie Jerome

49.
Just as language has no longer anything in common with the thing it names, so the movements of most of the people who live in cities have lost their connection with the earth; they hang, as it were, in the air, hover in all directions, and find no place where they can settle.
Rilke, Rainer Maria

50.
The chief function of the city is to convert power into form, energy into culture, dead matter into the living symbols of art, biological reproduction into social creativity.
Mumford, Lewis
