Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
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

2.
Live as if everything you do will eventually be known.
Prather, Hugh

3.
The life of our city is rich in poetic and marvelous subjects. We are enveloped and steeped as though in an atmosphere of the marvelous; but we do not notice it.
Baudelaire, Charles

4.
Life is just a bowl of pits.
Rodney Dangerfield

5.
Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.
Hemingway, Ernest

6.
The world is not to be put in order; the world is order, incarnate. It is for us to harmonize with this order.
Miller, Henry

7.
We Japanese enjoy the small pleasures, not extravagance. I believe a man should have a simple lifestyle -- even if he can afford more.
Ibuka, Massaru

8.
Taken in any context, except seriously, life on earth is palatable and positively enjoyable.

9.
Life has taught me to think, but thinking has not taught me to live.
Herzen, Alexander

10.
Life is full and overflowing with the new. But it is necessary to empty out the old to make room for the new to enter.
Caddy, Eileen

11.
Washington is a place where politicians don't know which way is up and taxes don't know which way is down.
Orben, Robert

12.
Life too near paralyses art.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

13.
People do not live nowadays. They get about 10% out of life.
Duncan, Isadora

14.
Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.
William Shakespeare

15.
Towns are excrescences, gray fluxions, where men, hurrying to find one another, have lost themselves.
Forster, Edward M.

16.
The finest lives in my opinion are the common model, without miracle and without extravagance.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

17.
When we exercise self-control on a given occasion, we win for ourselves a little credibility we can rely on the next time around. Pretty soon we develop a reputation to ourselves that we want badly to uphold. With each test that we meet, our resolve gains momentum, fueled by the fear that we may succumb and establish a damaging precedent for our own weakness.
Daniel Akst

18.
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

19.
May God bless you to live as long as you want to; and want to as long as you live!
Proverb, Scottish

20.
The deeper the experience of an absence of meaning -- in other words, of absurdity --the more energetically meaning is sought.
Havel, Vaclav

21.
We have long forgotten the ritual by which the house of our life was erected. But when it is under assault and enemy bombs are already taking their toll, what enervated, perverse antiquities do they not lay bare in the foundations.
Benjamin, Walter

22.
There are nine requisites for contented living: HEALTH enough to make work a pleasure; WEALTH enough to support your needs; STRENGTH enough to battle with difficulties and forsake them; GRACE enough to confess your sins and overcome them; PATIENCE enough to toil until some good is accomplished; CHARITY enough to see some good in your neighbor; LOVE enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others; FAITH enough to make real the things of God; HOPE enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

23.
There is a time of life somewhere between the sullen fugues of adolescence and the retrenchments of middle age when human nature becomes so absolutely absorbing one wants to be in the city constantly, even at the height of summer.
Hoagland, Edward

24.
We have penetrated far less deeply into the regularities obtaining within the realm of living things, but deeply enough nevertheless to sense at least the rule of fixed necessity... what is still lacking here is a grasp of the connections of profound generality, but not a knowledge of order itself.
Einstein, Albert

25.
A life of ease is a difficult pursuit.
Cowper, William

26.
The secret of a good life is to have the right loyalties and hold them in the right scale of values.
Norman Thomas

27.
The cities of America are inexpressibly tedious. The Bostonians take their learning too sadly; culture with them is an accomplishment rather than an atmosphere; their Hub, as they call it, is the paradise of prigs. Chicago is a sort of monster-shop, full of bustles and bores. Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry. Baltimore is amusing for a week, but Philadelphia is dreadfully provincial; and though one can dine in New York one could not dwell there.
Wilde, Oscar

28.
Life may not be beautiful, but it is interesting.
Seeley, Sir John Robert

29.
Life is not a spectacle or a feast; it is a predicament.
Santayana, George

30.
The essence of life is finding something you really love and then making the daily experience worthwhile.
Waitley, Denis

31.
After reading all that has been written, and after thinking all that can be thought, on the topics of God and the soul, the man who has a right to say that he thinks at all, will find himself face to face with the conclusion that, on these topics, the most profound thought is that which can be the least easily distinguished from the most superficial sentiment.
Poe, Edgar Allan

32.
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

33.
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

34.
Life is the farce which everyone has to perform.
Rimbaud, Arthur

35.
Feelings are really your GPS system for life. When your supposed to do something, or not supposed to do something, your emotional guidance system lets you know.
Oprah Winfrey

36.
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

37.
Just as all thought, and primarily that of non-signification, signifies something, so there is no art that has no signification.
Camus, Albert

38.
Cities give us collision. 'Tis said, London and New York take the nonsense out of a man.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

39.
Challenging the meaning of life is the truest expression of the state of being human.
Frankl, Viktor E.

40.
Life is very interesting if you make mistakes.
Carpentier, Georges

41.
Life loves the liver of it.
Angelou, Maya

42.
Live virtuously, and you cannot not die too soon, or live too long.
Russell, Lady R.

43.
What I like about cities is that everything is king size, the beauty and the ugliness.
Brodsky, Joseph

44.
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo

45.
Living, just by itself -- what a dirge that is! Life is a classroom and Boredom's the usher, there all the time to spy on you; whatever happens, you've got to look as if you were awfully busy all the time doing something that's terribly exciting --or he'll come along and nibble your brain.
Celine, Louis-Ferdinand

46.
Life is a series of collisions with the future; it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

47.
Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.
Frankl, Viktor E.

48.
Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!
Gauguin, Paul

49.
What is important in life is life, and not the result of life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

50.
Life is like a piano. What you get out of it depends on how you play it.
Lehrer, Tom
