Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
All things may be bought in Rome with money.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

2.
We will neglect our cities to our peril, for in neglecting them we neglect the nation.
Kennedy, John F.

3.
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

4.
Nature has invented reproduction as a mechanism for life to move forward. As a life force that passes right through us and makes us a link in the evolution of life.
Louis Schwartzberg

5.
Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
Curie, Madame Marie

6.
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

7.
It is very certain that the desire of life prolongs it.
Byron, Lord

8.
Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: I'm with you kid. Let's go.
Angelou, Maya

9.
Life is full of surprises and and serendipity. Being open to unexpected turns in the road is an important part of success. If you try to plan every step, you may miss those wonderful twists and turns. Just find your next adventure-do it well, enjoy it-and then, not now, think about what comes next.
Condoleeza Rice

10.
The lessons this life has planted in my heart pertain more to caring than crops, more to Golden Rule than gold, more to the proper choice than to the popular choice.
Kirby Larson

11.
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

12.
It's better to be an authentic loser than a false success, and to die alive than to live dead.
Markiewicz, William

13.
Nothing is beneath you if it is in the direction of your life.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

14.
City life is millions of people being lonesome together.
Thoreau, Henry David

15.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
Steve Jobs

16.
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

17.
Without fullness of experience, length of days is nothing. When fullness of life has been achieved, shortness of days is nothing. That is perhaps why the young have usually so little fear of death; they live by intensities that the elderly have forgotten.
Mumford, Lewis

18.
The surrender of life is nothing to sinking down into acknowledgment of inferiority.
Calhoun, John C.

19.
The four stages of life are infancy, childhood, adolescence, and obsolescence.
Linkletter, Art

20.
The first thing that strikes a visitor to Paris is a taxi.
Allen, Fred A.

21.
Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum.
Holmes Jr., Oliver Wendell

22.
Living in cities is an art, and we need the vocabulary of art, of style, to describe the peculiar relationship between man and material that exists in the continual creative play of urban living. The city as we imagine it, then, soft city of illusion, myth, aspiration, and nightmare, is as real, maybe more real, than the hard city one can locate on maps in statistics, in monographs on urban sociology and demography and architecture.
Raban, Jonathan

23.
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- that myth is more potent than history. I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts -- That hope always triumphs over experience -- That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.
Fulghum, Robert

24.
Man wants to live, but it is useless to hope that this desire will dictate all his actions.
Camus, Albert

25.
This tattered life is my only robe; the wind my only refuge.
Mountain, Marian

26.
Life is an earnest business, and no one every became good or great on a diet of broad grins.
Blackie, Professor

27.
Life is not so bad if you have plenty of luck, a good physique and not too much imagination
Isherwood, Christopher

28.
Life is not one thing after another. It's the same damn thing over and over!

29.
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

30.
One should not confuse the craving for life with endorsement of it.
Canetti, Elias

31.
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

32.
And so from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe, and then, from hour to hour,we rot and rot; and thereby hangs a tale.
William Shakespeare

33.
There is no quiet place in the white man's cities. No place to hear the unfurling of leaves in spring, or the rustle of an insect's wings. But perhaps it is because I am a savage and do not understand. The clatter only seems to insult the ears.
Seattle, Chief

34.
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it, and that is how it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It's life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
Steve Jobs

35.
The drama of life begins with a wail and ends with a sigh.
Antrim, Minna

36.
Your life and my life flow into each other as wave flows into wave, and unless there is peace and joy and freedom for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for me. To see reality--not as we expect it to be but as it is--is to see that unless we live for each other and in and through each other, we do not really live very satisfactorily; that there can really be life only where there really is, in just this sense, love.
Buechner, Frederick

37.
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

38.
A neighborhood is a residential area that is changing for the worse.
Ciardi, John

39.
Like bees, they must put their lives into the sting they give.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

40.
Life is a series of little deaths out of which life always returns.
Feidelson, Charles

41.
Cities give us collision. 'Tis said, London and New York take the nonsense out of a man.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

42.
Taken in any context, except seriously, life on earth is palatable and positively enjoyable.

43.
Best to live lightly, unthinkingly.
Sophocles

44.
Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.
Thoreau, Henry David

45.
Life is like Sanskrit read to a pony.
Reed, Lou

46.
Life is a foreign language: all men mispronounce it.
Morley, Christopher

47.
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

48.
First I was dying to finish high-school and start college. Then I was dying to finish college and start working. Next, I was dying for my children to grow old enough for school, so I could return to work. Finally, I was dying to retire. And now, I am dying

49.
To live is not breathing it is action.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

50.
Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the Earth are never alone or weary of life.
Carson, Rachel
