Life

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



Best Quotes about Life

1.
In place of a world, there is a city, a point, in which the whole life of broad regions is collecting while the rest dries up. In place of a type-true people, born of and grown on the soil, there is a new sort of nomad, cohering unstably in fluid masses, the parasitical city dweller, traditionless, utterly matter-of-fact, religionless, clever, unfruitful, deeply contemptuous of the countryman and especially that highest form of countryman, the country gentleman.
Spengler, Oswald

2.
You're alive. Do something. The directive in life, the moral imperative was so uncomplicated. It could be expressed in single words, not complete sentences. It sounded like this: Look. Listen. Choose. Act.
Barbara Hall

3.
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

4.
The first thing that strikes a visitor to Paris is a taxi.
Allen, Fred A.

5.
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

6.
Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor.
Aleichem, Sholom

7.
Washington is no place for a good actor. The competition from bad actors is too great.
Allen, Fred A.

8.
I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I have just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.
Ackerman, Diane

9.
Live today for tomorrow it will all be history.
Proverb

10.
It is vanity to desire a long life and to take no heed of a good life.
Kempis, Thomas

11.
We quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the brim -- objects press around us, filling the mind with the throng of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.
Wilde, Oscar

12.
The less routine the more life.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

13.
A large city cannot be experientially known; its life is too manifold for any individual to be able to participate in it.
Huxley, Aldous

14.
The slightest living thing answers a deeper need than all the works of man because it is transitory. It has an evanescence of life, or growth, or change: it passes, as we do, from one stage to the another, from darkness to darkness, into a distance where we, too, vanish out of sight. A work of art is static; and its value and its weakness lie in being so: but the tuft of grass and the clouds above it belong to our own travelling brotherhood.
Stark, Freya

15.
The person lives twice who lives the first life well.
Herrick, Robert

16.
Everything has been figured out, except how to live.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

17.
The finest lives in my opinion are the common model, without miracle and without extravagance.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

18.
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

19.
The life of man is a long march through the night, surrounded by invisible foes, tortured by weariness and pain, towards a goal that few can hope to reach, and where none may tarry long.
Russell, Bertrand

20.
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

21.
Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

22.
Life is real! Life is earnest! And death is not its goal. Dust thou art, to dust returneth, was not spoken of the soul.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

23.
Life was a funny thing that happened to me on the way to the grave.
Crisp, Quentin

24.
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

25.
To live fully is to let go and die with each passing moment, and to be reborn in each new one.
Kornfield, Jack

26.
Today, you have 100% of your life left.
Hopkins, Tom

27.
Threescore years and ten is enough; if a man can't suffer all the misery he wants in that time, he must be numb.
Billings, Josh

28.
May God bless you to live as long as you want to; and want to as long as you live!
Proverb, Scottish

29.
Life is divided up into the horrible and the miserable.
Allen, Woody

30.
Give a man a dollar and you cheer his heart. Give him a dream and you challenge his heart. Give him Christ and you change his heart. Then the dollar and the dream become meaningful to him, and to others.
Strait, C. Neil

31.
Making a life comes before making a living.

32.
Not by gain our life is measured, But by what we've lost 'Tis scored; 'Tis not how much wine is drunken But how much has been outpoured. For the strength of love never standeth In the sacrifice we bear; He who has the greatest suffering Ever has the most to share.
Nee, Watchman

33.
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

34.
Either these [unsaved] people are to be evangelized, or the leaven of communism and infidelity will assume such enormous proportions that it will break you in a reign of terror such as this country has never known.
Moody, Dwight L.

35.
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

36.
The secret of a good life is to have the right loyalties and hold them in the right scale of values.
Norman Thomas

37.
Life is a flower of which love is the honey.
Hugo, Victor

38.
On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.
Buddha

39.
We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from it.
Osler, Sir William

40.
Much violence is based on the illusion that life is a property to be defended and not to be shared.
Nouwen, Henri

41.
You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.
Krishnamurti, Jiddu

42.
A life is like a tree -- if you don't make it straight when its young and green, you'll never do it when it's old and dry.

43.
It's not how long life is but the quality of our life that is important.
Dawson, Roger

44.
The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty, and truth.
Einstein, Albert

45.
The tragedy of life is not that a man loses, but that he almost wins.
Broun, Heywood

46.
We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let us now commit it to life.
Markham, Edwin

47.
Life is the only art that we are required to practice without preparation, and without being allowed the preliminary trials, the failures and botches, that are essential for training.
Mumford, Lewis

48.
In between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed.
Caesar, Sid

49.
All that man has will he give for his life.
Bible

50.
One should not confuse the craving for life with endorsement of it.
Canetti, Elias
