Best Quotes about Life
Anything for the quick life, as the man said when he took the situation at the lighthouse.
Dickens, Charles
In the game of life it's a good idea to have a few early losses, which relieves you of the pressure of trying to maintain an undefeated season.
Baughan, Bill
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
Life is raw material. We are artisans. We can sculpt our existence into something beautiful, or debase it into ugliness. It's in our hands.
Better, Cathy
The tragedy of life is not that a man loses, but that he almost wins.
Broun, Heywood
Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.
Brendan Gill
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
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
The four stages of life are infancy, childhood, adolescence, and obsolescence.
Linkletter, Art
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
Not to find one's way in a city may well be uninteresting and banal. It requires ignorance -- nothing more. But to lose oneself in a city -- as one loses oneself in a forest -- that calls for a quite different schooling. Then, signboard and street names, passers-by, roofs, kiosks, or bars must speak to the wanderer like a cracking twig under his feet in the forest.
Benjamin, Walter
People creep into childhood, bound into youth, sober in adulthood, and soften into old age.
Giles, Henry
To a wise man every day is a new life.
Deep down, no one really believes they have a right to live. But this death sentence generally stays tucked away, hidden beneath the difficulty of living. If that difficulty is removed from time to time, death is suddenly there, unintelligibly.
Baudrillard, Jean
All things may be bought in Rome with money.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
Be glad of life because it gives you a chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at stars.
Dyke, Henry Van
Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.
Sartre, Jean-Paul
Your life is what your thoughts make it.
Aurelius, Marcus
We are born crying, live complaining, and die disappointed.
Fuller, Thomas
Life is uncharted territory. It reveals its story one moment at a time.
Buscaglia, Leo
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 secret of a good life is to have the right loyalties and hold them in the right scale of values.
Norman Thomas
Man spends his life in reasoning on the past, in complaining of the present, in fearing future.
Rivarol, Antoine
Life is given for wisdom, and yet we are not wise; for goodness, and we are not good; for overcoming evil, and evil remains; for patience and sympathy and love, and yet we are fretful and hard and weak and selfish. We are keyed not to attainment, but to the struggle toward it.
Munger, Thornton T.
Life is just a bowl of pits.
Rodney Dangerfield
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
The old Quaker was right: I expect to pass through life but once. If there is any kindness, or any good thing I can do to my fellow beings, let me do it now. I shall pass this way but once.
Gannett, W. C.
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
Nobody's journey is seamless or smooth. We all stumble. We all have setbacks. It's just life's way of saying, "Time to change course."
Oprah Winfrey
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
The first thing that strikes a visitor to Paris is a taxi.
Allen, Fred A.
What life means to us is determined, not so much by what life brings to us as by the attitude we bring to life; not so much by what happens to us as by our reaction to what happens.
Dunnington, Lewis L
We live, not as we wish to, but as we can.
Menander of Athens
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
Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans.
Lennon, John
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
Life isn't fair. It's just fairer than death, that's all.
William Goldman
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
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
Some people go through life trying to find out what the world holds for them only to find out too late that it's what they bring to the world that really counts. OR It's not what the world holds for you it's what you bring to it
Gables, Anne Of Green
To live fully is to let go and die with each passing moment, and to be reborn in each new one.
Kornfield, Jack
The surrender of life is nothing to sinking down into acknowledgment of inferiority.
Calhoun, John C.
What a life! True life is elsewhere. We are not in the world.
Rimbaud, Arthur
Cities, like cats, will reveal themselves at night.
Brooke, Rupert
A great city, whose image dwells in the memory of man, is the type of some great idea. Rome represents conquest; Faith hovers over the towers of Jerusalem; and Athens embodies the pre-eminent quality of the antique world, Art.
Disraeli, Benjamin
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
Always take hold of things by the smooth handle.
Jefferson, Thomas
In the book of life every page has two sides: we human beings fill the upper side with our plans, hopes and wishes, but providence writes on the other side, and what it ordains is seldom our goal.
Nisami
Where there is life there is wishful thinking.
Lieberman, Gerald F.
He that embarks on the voyage of life will always wish to advance rather by the impulse of the wind than the strokes of the oar; and many fold in their passage; while they lie waiting for the gale.
Johnson, Samuel
