Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.
Mumford, Lewis

2.
To attain inner peace you must actually give your life, not just your possessions. When you at last give your life -- bringing into alignment your beliefs and the way you live then, and only then, can you begin to find inner peace.
Pilgrim, Peace

Life comes from physical survival; but the good life comes from what we care about.
May, Rollo

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

So live with men as if God saw you and speak to God, as if men heard you.
Seneca

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

10.
Life loves the liver of it.
Angelou, Maya

11.
The truest end of life, is to find the life that doesn't end.

12.
People do not live nowadays. They get about 10% out of life.
Duncan, Isadora

13.
Just as language has no longer anything in common with the thing it names, so the movements of most of the people who live in cities have lost their connection with the earth; they hang, as it were, in the air, hover in all directions, and find no place where they can settle.
Rilke, Rainer Maria

14.
My kids idea of a hard life is to live in a house with only one phone.

Simply the thing I am shall make me live.
Shakespeare, William

Stoppard, Tom

Robbins, Anthony

Humphrey, Hubert H.

20.
Life is constantly providing us with new funds, new resources, even when we are reduced to immobility. In life's ledger there is no such thing as frozen assets.
Miller, Henry

21.
Life must be lived forward, but can only be understood backwards.
Kierkegaard, S°ren

There is more to life than simply increasing its speed.
Gandhi, Mahatma

23.
Do not take life too seriously; you will never get out of it alive.
Hubbard, Elbert

24.
To live life well is to express life poorly; if one expresses life too well, one is living it no longer.
Bachelard, Gaston

25.
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

26.
Not only is life a bitch, but it is always having puppies.
Gusoff, Adrienne

27.
Variability is the law of life, and as no two faces are the same, so no two bodies are alike, and no two individuals react alike and behave alike under the abnormal conditions which we know as disease.
Osler, Sir William

28.
Prepare for death, if here at night you roam, and sign your will before you sup from home.
Johnson, Samuel

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

31.
Life does not consist mainly, or even largely, of facts and happenings. It consists mainly of the storm of thought that is forever flowing through one's head.

Dance like no one is watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like no one is listening, Live like it's heaven on earth.
Purkey, William

35.
Every perfect life is a parable invented by God.
Weil, Simone

36.
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.

37.
Life is something that happens when you can't get to sleep.
Fran Lebowitz

38.
Life is a flower of which love is the honey.
Hugo, Victor

39.
Most people think life sucks, and then you die. Not me. I beg to differ. I think life sucks, then you get cancer, then your dog dies, your wife leaves you, the cancer goes into remission, you get a new dog, you get remarried, you owe ten million dollars in medical bills but you work hard for thirty-five years and you pay it back and then -- one day -- you have a massive stroke, your whole right side is paralyzed, you have to limp along the streets and speak out of the left side of your mouth and drool but you go into rehabilitation and regain the power to walk and the power to talk and then -- one day -- you step off a curb at Sixty-seventh Street, and BANG you get hit by a city bus and then you die. Maybe.
Leary, Denis

Life is a video game. No matter how good you get, you are always zapped in the end

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

43.
We have long forgotten the ritual by which the house of our life was erected. But when it is under assault and enemy bombs are already taking their toll, what enervated, perverse antiquities do they not lay bare in the foundations.
Benjamin, Walter

44.
The good life is one inspired by life and guided by knowledge.
Russell, Bertrand

45.
Life at the greatest and best is but a froward child, that must be humored and coaxed a little till it falls asleep, and then all the care is over.
Goldsmith, Oliver

46.
Life is like playing a violin in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
Samuel Butler

47.
In childhood be modest, in youth temperate, in adulthood just, and in old age prudent.
Socrates

48.
What is life? A frenzy. What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a fiction. And the greatest good is trivial; for all life is a dream and all dreams are dreams.
Calderon de la Barca, Pedro

49.
The art of living is more like that of wrestling than of dancing; the main thing is to stand firm and be ready for an unseen attack.
