The city is recruited from the country.
- Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
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

2.
To live life well is to express life poorly; if one expresses life too well, one is living it no longer.
Bachelard, Gaston

3.
We live everything as it comes, without warning, like an actor going on cold. And what can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself? That is why life is always a sketch. No sketch is not quite the right word, because a sketch is an outline of something, the groundwork for a picture, whereas the sketch that is our life is a sketch of nothing, an outline with no picture.
Kundera, Milan

4.
A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one.
Aristotle

5.
A large city cannot be experientially known; its life is too manifold for any individual to be able to participate in it.
Huxley, Aldous

6.
Life is a grindstone. Whether it grinds us down or polishes us up depends on us.
Holdcroft, Thomas L.

7.
Cities force growth and make people talkative and entertaining, but they also make them artificial.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

8.
Life isn't simple. But the beauty of it is, you can always start over. It'll get easier.
Alacia Bessette

9.
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

10.
The cloud-capp'd towers,the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on; and our little life Is rounded with a sleep.
William Shakespeare

11.
Life is like a taxi. The meter just keeps a-ticking whether you are getting somewhere or just standing still.
Erickson, Lou

12.
Let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right, always.
Rilke, Rainer Maria

13.
Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are travelling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind.
Amiel, Henri Frederic

14.
Cities give us collision. 'Tis said, London and New York take the nonsense out of a man.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

15.
Live as you would have wished to live when you come to die.
Gellert

16.
Life begins when you get out of the grandstand into the game.
Debevoise, P. L.

17.
It is very certain that the desire of life prolongs it.
Byron, Lord

18.
On the whole, I am on the side of the unregenerate who affirms the worth of life as an end in itself, as against the saints who deny it.
Holmes Jr., Oliver Wendell

19.
Everybody should do at least two things each day that he hates to do, just for practice.
James, William

20.
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

21.
Only those live who do good.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

22.
In real life, however, you don't react to what someone did; you react only to what you think she did, and the gap between action and perception is bridged by the art of impression management. If life itself is but what you deem it, then why not focus your efforts on persuading others to believe that you are a virtuous and trustworthy cooperator?
Jonathan Haidt

23.
Life is just a bowl of pits.
Rodney Dangerfield

24.
Life is a long lesson in humility.
James M. Barrie

25.
Life's but a day at most.
Burns, George

26.
We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking. In that race which daily hastens us towards death, the body maintains its irreparable lead.
Camus, Albert

27.
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

28.
Life is a thing that mutates without warning, not always in enviable ways. All part of the improbable adventure of being alive, of being a brainy biped with giant dreams on a crazy blue planet.
Diane Ackerman

29.
Life must be lived and curiosity kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
Roosevelt, Eleanor

30.
Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.
Radner, Gilda

31.
Is life worth living? It all depends on the liver.
James, William

32.
The first thing that strikes a visitor to Paris is a taxi.
Allen, Fred A.

33.
We are in danger of making our cities places where business goes on but where life, in its real sense, is lost.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

34.
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

35.
All that man has will he give for his life.
Bible

36.
The dream crossed twilight between birth and dying.
Eliot, T. S.

37.
Life, an age to the miserable, and a moment to the happy.
Bacon, Francis

38.
The world has so many lessons to teach you. I consider the world, our earth, to be like a school, and our life, the classrooms. Sometimes on our planet life school, the lessons often come dressed up as detours and road blocks and sometimes as full blown crises. And the secret I've learned to getting ahead is being open to the lessons.
Oprah Winfrey

39.
The essence of life is finding something you really love and then making the daily experience worthwhile.
Waitley, Denis

40.
My art and profession is to live.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

41.
Life is an earnest business, and no one every became good or great on a diet of broad grins.
Blackie, Professor

42.
To live is not breathing it is action.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

43.
There is no shortcut to life. To the end of our days, life is a lesson imperfectly learned.
Salisbury, Harrison

44.
Live virtuously, and you cannot not die too soon, or live too long.
Russell, Lady R.

45.
Not only is life a bitch, but it is always having puppies.
Gusoff, Adrienne

46.
Life is like a piano. What you get out of it depends on how you play it.
Lehrer, Tom

47.
Life is a continual process of remaking ourselves.

48.
Life's a bitch, and life's got lots of sisters.
Presser, Ross

49.
Make your life a happy one. That is where success is possible to every man.
Powell, Robert

50.
What I like about cities is that everything is king size, the beauty and the ugliness.
Brodsky, Joseph
