Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, and small obligations given habitually, are what preserve the heart and secure comfort.
Davy, Sir Humphrey

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

3.
The purpose of life is the expansion of happiness.
Yogi, Maharishi Mahesh

4.
Living is like working out a long addition sum, and if you make a mistake in the first two totals you will never find the right answer. It means involving oneself in a complicated chain of circumstances.
Pavese, Cesare

5.
Don't be afraid of death so much as an inadequate life.
Brecht, Bertolt

The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.
Ben Stein

Life is not so much a matter of position as of disposition

Live for those who love me, For those who know me true, For the Heaven that smiles above me, And awaits my coming too; For the cause that lacks resistance, For the future and the distance, And the good that I can do.

14.
There is a time of life somewhere between the sullen fugues of adolescence and the retrenchments of middle age when human nature becomes so absolutely absorbing one wants to be in the city constantly, even at the height of summer.
Hoagland, Edward

15.
Life is too short to be little. Man is never so manly as when he feels deeply, acts boldly, and expresses himself with frankness and with fervor.
Disraeli, Benjamin

16.
Making a life comes before making a living.

17.
Towns oftener swamp one than carry one out onto the big ocean of life.
Lawrence, D. H.

18.
Life is like wine, the longer you take to enjoy it the more chance you've got of tasting vinegar.

19.
The dream crossed twilight between birth and dying.
Eliot, T. S.

Cowper, William

30.
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

31.
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

32.
A man's life is 20 years of having his mother ask him where he is going, 40 years of having his wife ask the same question and, at the end, perhaps having the mourners wondering too.

33.
If I had been present at creation, I would have given some useful hints.
