Life

Life is not so bad if you have plenty of luck, a good physique and not too much imagination
- Isherwood, Christopher
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
There are a number of things wrong with Washington. One of them is that everyone is too far from home.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

2.
This tattered life is my only robe; the wind my only refuge.
Mountain, Marian

3.
Life never becomes a habit to me. It's always a marvel.
Mansfield, Katherine

4.
To live is not breathing it is action.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

5.
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.

6.
Life is a series of collisions with the future; it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

7.
Life, an age to the miserable, and a moment to the happy.
Bacon, Francis

8.
Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.
Thoreau, Henry David

9.
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

10.
Boston is a moral and intellectual nursery always busy applying first principles to trifles.
Santayana, George

11.
Every man has the right to risk his own life in order to save it.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

12.
Life is a fatal complaint, and an eminently contagious one.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

13.
Only those live who do good.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

14.
Eternal truths will be neither true nor eternal unless they have fresh meaning for every new social situation.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

15.
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life... I wanted to live so sturdily and so Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life... to drive life into a corner to know it by experience and be able to give an account of it in my next excursion.
Thoreau, Henry David

16.
Life is a rollercoaster. Try to eat a light lunch.
Schmaltz, David A.

17.
The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds, and the pessimist fears this is true.
Cabell, James Branch

18.
We have penetrated far less deeply into the regularities obtaining within the realm of living things, but deeply enough nevertheless to sense at least the rule of fixed necessity... what is still lacking here is a grasp of the connections of profound generality, but not a knowledge of order itself.
Einstein, Albert

19.
Too often man handles life as he does the bad weather, He whiles away the time as he waits for it to stop.
Polgar, Alfred

20.
I once spent a year in Philadelphia, I think it was on a Sunday.
Fields, W. C.

21.
There is more sophistication and less sense in New York than anywhere else on the globe.
Herold, Don

22.
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

23.
No one knows when they are well off.
Punch

24.
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

25.
May God bless you to live as long as you want to; and want to as long as you live!
Proverb, Scottish

26.
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.

27.
America is a nation with no truly national city, no Paris, no Rome, no London, no city which is at once the social center, the political capital, and the financial hub.
Mills, C. Wright

28.
The search is what anyone would undertake if he were not sunk in the everydayness of his own life. To become aware of the possibility of the search is to be onto something. Not to be onto something is to be in despair.
Percy, Walker

29.
Life too near paralyses art.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

30.
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

31.
Life is like playing a violin in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
Samuel Butler

32.
The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty, and truth.
Einstein, Albert

33.
The world's mine oyster, which I with sword will open.
William Shakespeare

34.
There are chapters in every life which are seldom read and certainly not aloud.
Shields, Carol

35.
This is a world of action, and not for moping and droning in.
Dickens, Charles

36.
Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.
Robbins, Anthony

37.
The four stages of life are infancy, childhood, adolescence, and obsolescence.
Linkletter, Art

38.
To live lightheartedly but not recklessly; to be gay without being boisterous; to be courageous without being bold; to show trust and cheerful resignation without fatalism -- this is the art of living.
La Fontaine, Jean De

39.
The average person living to age 70 has 613, 000 hours of life. This is too long a period not to have fun.

40.
There are four things every person has more of than they know; sins, debt, years, and foes.
Proverb, Persian

41.
We live, not as we wish to, but as we can.
Menander of Athens

42.
If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a movable feast.
Hemingway, Ernest

43.
It is very certain that the desire of life prolongs it.
Byron, Lord

44.
Life -- how curious is that habit that makes us think it is not here, but elsewhere.
Pritchett, V. S.

45.
Living the truth in your heart without compromise brings kindness into the world. Attempts at kindness that compromise your heart cause only sadness.

46.
Life is a solitary cell whose walls are mirrors.
O'Neill, Eugene

47.
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

48.
Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act.
Truman Capote

49.
It is faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes a life worth looking at.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

50.
It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it's one damn thing over and over.
Millay, Edna St. Vincent
