Motivational Quotes

Life

Only to the extent that someone is living out this self transcendence of human existence, is he truly human or does he become his true self. He becomes so, not by concerning himself with his self's actualization, but by forgetting himself and giving himself, overlooking himself and focusing outward.
- Frankl, Viktor E.

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

16.
For everything that lives is holy, life delights in life.
Blake, William

Ellis, Havelock

24.
Every true man, sir, who is a little above the level of the beasts and plants does not live for the sake of living, without knowing how to live; but he lives so as to give a meaning and a value of his own to life.
Pirandello, Luigi

25.
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

26.
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

They that have lived a single day have lived an age.
La Bruyere, Jean De

31.
What should I say about life? That it's long and abhors transparence.
Brodsky, Joseph

32.
The City attaches an exaggerated importance to the healing power of lunch.
Fieldes, Christopher

Every man's life is a fairy tale written by God's finger.
Anderson, Hans Christian

34.
The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things
Rilke, Rainer Maria

35.
A large city cannot be experientially known; its life is too manifold for any individual to be able to participate in it.
Huxley, Aldous

36.
Washington is an endless series of mock palaces clearly built for clerks.
Huxtable, Ada Louise

37.
The life of man is a journey; a journey that must be traveled, however bad the roads or the accommodation.

Lawrence, D. H.

49.
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.

50.
Boston is a moral and intellectual nursery always busy applying first principles to trifles.
