Motivational Quotes
Life
Life is like playing the violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

Best Quotes about Life
Life -- No, I've nothing to teach you about it for the moment. May be writing about it another week.
Forster, Edward M.
The great city is that which has the greatest man or woman: if it be a few ragged huts, it is still the greatest city in the whole world.
Whitman, Walt
One recipe for a longer life; Never exceed the speed limit.
Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late
Franklin, Benjamin
Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum.
Holmes Jr., Oliver Wendell
The real being, with no status, is always going in and out through the doors of your face.
Lin-Chi
Life is just one damned thing after another.
Elbert Hubbard
Well, take your time and don't live too fast. Troubles will come and they will pass. Find a woman and you'll find love. Don't forget, son, there is someone up above.
Skynard, Lynard
Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really merely commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the planning, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chain of events, working through generations and leading to the most outer results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.
Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan
How could drops of water know themselves to be a river? Yet the river flows on.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
Life is short, but it's long enough to ruin any man who wants to be ruined.
Billings, Josh
Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.
William Shakespeare
It is not reason which is the guide of life, but custom.
Hume, David
Like bees, they must put their lives into the sting they give.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
This is what is sad when one contemplates human life, that so many live out their lives in quiet lostness... they live, as it were, away from themselves and vanish like shadows. Their immortal souls are blown away, and they are not disquieted by the question of its immortality, because they are already disintegrated before they die.
Kierkegaard, S°ren
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
Your life is what your thoughts make it.
Aurelius, Marcus
We do not look in our great cities for our best morality.
Austen, Jane
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
Life is a reciprocal exchange. To move forward, you have to give back.
Oprah Winfrey
The only reason they come to see me is that I know that life is great -- and they know I know it.
Gable, Clark
The energy of the mind is the essence of life.
Aristotle
You don't get to choose how you're going to die, or when. You can decide how you're going to live now.
Baez, Joan
So live with men as if God saw you and speak to God, as if men heard you.
Seneca
Life is like riding a bicycle. You don't fall off unless you stop peddling.
Pepper, Claude D.
The four stages of life are infancy, childhood, adolescence, and obsolescence.
Linkletter, Art
Life is a solitary cell whose walls are mirrors.
O'Neill, Eugene
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
Attack life, it's going to kill you anyway.
Coallier, Steven
If I shall sell both my forenoons and afternoons to society, as most appear to do, I'm sure that, for me, there would be nothing left worth living for.
Thoreau, Henry David
I found Rome brick, I left it marble.
Augustus, Caesar
Always take hold of things by the smooth handle.
Jefferson, Thomas
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)
My life is a battle.
Voltaire
Make your life a happy one. That is where success is possible to every man.
Powell, Robert
He has not lived badly whose birth and death has been unnoticed by the world.
Horace
The best things in life are never rationed. Friendship, loyalty, and love. They do not require coupons.
Hewitt, George T.
It is not how many years we live, but rather what we do with them.
Booth, Evangeline Cory
If you seek, how is that different from pursuing sound and form? If you don't seek, how are you different from earth, wood, or stone? You must seek without seeking.
Fo-Yan
This city now doth, like a garment, wear the beauty of the morning; silent bare, ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples lie open unto the fields and to the sky; All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
Wordsworth, William
If one had but a single glance to give the world, one should gaze on Istanbul.
Lamartine, Alphonse De
Life! Life! Don't let us go to life for our fulfillment or our experience. It is a thing narrowed by circumstances, incoherent in its utterance, and without that fine correspondence of form and spirit which is the only thing that can satisfy the artistic
Wilde, Oscar
The essence of life is finding something you really love and then making the daily experience worthwhile.
Waitley, Denis
Three keys to more abundant living: caring about others, daring for others, sharing with others.
Ward, William A.
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
It is very certain that the desire of life prolongs it.
Byron, Lord
Life is like eating artichokes, you have got to go through so much to get so little.
Dorgan, Thomas A.
Man values life as a sacred jewel in such a way that he reveres him most who haughtily scorns it.
Platen
To live is to go on a journey; to die is to come back home.
Any city however small, is in fact divided into two, one the city of the poor, the other of the rich. These are at war with one another.
Plato
