Motivational Quotes
Life
This is what is sad when one contemplates human life, that so many live out their lives in quiet lostness... they live, as it were, away from themselves and vanish like shadows. Their immortal souls are blown away, and they are not disquieted by the question of its immortality, because they are already disintegrated before they die.

Best Quotes about Life
Washington is an endless series of mock palaces clearly built for clerks.
Huxtable, Ada Louise
The essence of life is finding something you really love and then making the daily experience worthwhile.
Waitley, Denis
I have done my fiddling so long under Vesuvius that I have almost forgotten to play, and can only wait for the eruption and think it long of coming. Literally no man has more wholly outlived life than I. And still it's good fun.
Stevenson, Robert Louis
Life is always walking up to us and saying, 'Come on in, the living's fine,' and what do we do? Back off and take its picture.
Baker, Russell (Wayne)
You really haven't changed, you've just become more of yourself. That is really what were all trying to do: become more of ourselves.
Oprah Winfrey
Some people seem to go through life standing at the complaint counter.
Propp Jr., Fred
When we exercise self-control on a given occasion, we win for ourselves a little credibility we can rely on the next time around. Pretty soon we develop a reputation to ourselves that we want badly to uphold. With each test that we meet, our resolve gains momentum, fueled by the fear that we may succumb and establish a damaging precedent for our own weakness.
Daniel Akst
People should always have something which they prefer to life.
Seume, Johann G.
It is very certain that the desire of life prolongs it.
Byron, Lord
Life flows on within you and without you.
Harrison, George
This is a world of action, and not for moping and droning in.
Dickens, Charles
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
Life is an unbroken succession of false situations.
Thornton Wilder
Cities are distinguished by the catastrophic forms they presuppose and which are a vital part of their essential charm. New York is King Kong, or the blackout, or vertical bombardment: Towering Inferno. Los Angeles is the horizontal fault, California breaking off and sliding into the Pacific: Earthquake.
Baudrillard, Jean
Life is short, but it's long enough to ruin any man who wants to be ruined.
Billings, Josh
All things may be bought in Rome with money.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be.
Moses, Grandma
Your life and my life flow into each other as wave flows into wave, and unless there is peace and joy and freedom for you, there can be no real peace or joy or freedom for me. To see reality--not as we expect it to be but as it is--is to see that unless we live for each other and in and through each other, we do not really live very satisfactorily; that there can really be life only where there really is, in just this sense, love.
Buechner, Frederick
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
Life in the twentieth century is like a parachute jump; you have to get it right the first time.
Mead, Margaret
Life is something you do when you can't get to sleep.
Lebowitz, Fran
Life is a foreign language; all men mispronounce it.
Christopher Morley
The chief function of the city is to convert power into form, energy into culture, dead matter into the living symbols of art, biological reproduction into social creativity.
Mumford, Lewis
Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith.
Steve Jobs
The interest in life does not lie in what people do, nor even in their relations to each other, but largely in the power to communicate with a third party, antagonistic, enigmatic, yet perhaps persuadable, which one may call life in general.
Woolf, Virginia
Life is just a mirror, and what you see out there, you must first see inside of you.
Wally'Famous'Amos
The purpose of life is the expansion of happiness.
Yogi, Maharishi Mahesh
Life may not be beautiful, but it is interesting.
Seeley, Sir John Robert
Life is not a spectacle or a feast; it is a predicament.
Santayana, George
Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.
Robbins, Anthony
My art and profession is to live.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
It is vanity to desire a long life and to take no heed of a good life.
Kempis, Thomas
The life of our city is rich in poetic and marvelous subjects. We are enveloped and steeped as though in an atmosphere of the marvelous; but we do not notice it.
Baudelaire, Charles
All great art is born of the metropolis.
Pound, Ezra
If we make our goal to live a life of compassion and unconditional love, then the world will indeed become a garden where all kinds of flowers can bloom and grow.
KuBler-Ross, Elisabeth
For everything that lives is holy, life delights in life.
Blake, William
Is this not the true romantic feeling; not to desire to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping you.
Wolfe, Thomas
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
Every man has the right to risk his own life in order to save it.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
Life is a bridge. Cross over it, but build no house on it.
Proverb, Indian
If God exists and we are made in his image we can have real meaning, and we can have real knowledge through what he has communicated to us.
Schaeffer, Francis
Life It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury; signifying nothing.
Shakespeare, William
Life is a petty thing unless it is moved by the indomitable urge to extend its boundaries. Only in proportion as we are desirous of living more do we really live.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y
What a life! True life is elsewhere. We are not in the world.
Rimbaud, Arthur
Not where I breathe, but where I love, I live; Not where I love, but where I am, I die.
Southey, Robert
Always take hold of things by the smooth handle.
Jefferson, Thomas
Life is indeed difficult, partly because of the real difficulties we must overcome in order to survive, and partly because of our own innate desire to always do better, to overcome new challenges, to self-actualize. Happiness is experienced largely in striving towards a goal, not in having attained things, because our nature is always to want to go on to the next endeavor.
Albert Ellis, Michael Abrams, Lidia Dengelegi
Towns oftener swamp one than carry one out onto the big ocean of life.
Lawrence, D. H.
You have to do what you love to do, not get stuck in that comfort zone of a regular job. Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it.
Basset, Lucinda
To a wise man every day is a new life.
