Best Quotes about Life
If you seek, how is that different from pursuing sound and form? If you don't seek, how are you different from earth, wood, or stone? You must seek without seeking.
Fo-Yan
Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
Shaw, George Bernard
Everybody should do at least two things each day that he hates to do, just for practice.
James, William
Life has taught me to think, but thinking has not taught me to live.
Herzen, Alexander
Life is a disease; and the only difference between one man and another is the stage of the disease at which he lives. You are always at the crisis: I am always in the convalescent stage.
Shaw, George Bernard
Young people talk of what they are doing; old people of what they have done; and fools of what they have a mind to do.
Proverb
Simply the thing I am shall make me live.
Shakespeare, William
It is advisable that a person know at least three things, where they are, where they are going, and what they had best do under the circumstances.
Ruskin, John
There is only one way to get ready for immortality, and that is to love this life and live it as bravely and faithfully and cheerfully as we can.
Dyke, Henry Van
There is one thing that matters -- to set a chime of words tinkling in the minds of a few fastidious people.
Smith, Logan Pearsall
The only reason they come to see me is that I know that life is great -- and they know I know it.
Gable, Clark
Washington is an endless series of mock palaces clearly built for clerks.
Huxtable, Ada Louise
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
The city is loveliest when the sweet death racket begins. Her own life lived in defiance of nature, her electricity, her frigidaires, her soundproof walls, the glint of lacquered nails, the plumes that wave across the corrugated sky. Here in the coffin depths grow the everlasting flowers sent by telegraph.
Miller, Henry
This is it. There are no hidden meanings. All that mystical stuff is just what's so.
Erhard, Werner
Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The tragedy of life is not so much what men suffer, but rather what they miss.
Carlyle, Thomas
Man values life as a sacred jewel in such a way that he reveres him most who haughtily scorns it.
Platen
Everywhere one seeks to produce meaning, to make the world signify, to render it visible. We are not, however, in danger of lacking meaning; quite the contrary, we are gorged with meaning and it is killing us.
Baudrillard, Jean
They that have lived a single day have lived an age.
La Bruyere, Jean De
One should not confuse the craving for life with endorsement of it.
Canetti, Elias
Life can be pulled by goals just as surely as it can be pushed by drives.
Frankl, Viktor E.
The City attaches an exaggerated importance to the healing power of lunch.
Fieldes, Christopher
In Washington, the first thing people tell you is what their job is. In Los Angeles you learn their star sign. In Houston you're told how rich they are. And in New York they tell you what their rent is.
Hoggart, Simon
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
What life means to us is determined, not so much by what life brings to us as by the attitude we bring to life; not so much by what happens to us as by our reaction to what happens.
Dunnington, Lewis L
He that embarks on the voyage of life will always wish to advance rather by the impulse of the wind than the strokes of the oar; and many fold in their passage; while they lie waiting for the gale.
Johnson, Samuel
One recipe for a longer life; Never exceed the speed limit.
You are a little soul carrying around a corpse.
Epictetus
Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.
Miller, Henry
Life is like a box of chocolates: You never know what you're gonna get.
Movie, Forrest Gump
Life is a wilderness of twists and turns, where faith is your only compass.
Santaguida, Paul
The best things in life are never rationed. Friendship, loyalty, and love. They do not require coupons.
Hewitt, George T.
In the early days of the Indian Territory, there were no such things as birth certificates. You being there was certificate enough.
Rogers, Will
We only seem to learn from Life that Life doesn't matter so much as it seemed to do -- it's not so burningly important, after all, what happens. We crawl, like blinking sea-creatures, out of the Ocean onto a spur of rock, we creep over the promontory bewildered and dazzled and hurting ourselves, then we drop in the ocean on the other side: and the little transit doesn't matter so much.
Lawrence, D. H.
Life is not so much a matter of position as of disposition
You're alive. Do something. The directive in life, the moral imperative was so uncomplicated. It could be expressed in single words, not complete sentences. It sounded like this: Look. Listen. Choose. Act.
Barbara Hall
I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I have just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.
Ackerman, Diane
I am sure care's an enemy to life.
William Shakespeare
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)
The city as a center where, any day in any year, there may be a fresh encounter with a new talent, a keen mind or a gifted specialist -- this is essential to the life of a country. To play this role in our lives a city must have a soul -- a university, a great art or music school, a cathedral or a great mosque or temple, a great laboratory or scientific center, as well as the libraries and museums and galleries that bring past and present together. A city must be a place where groups of women and men are seeking and developing the highest things they know.
Mead, Margaret
Life is divided up into the horrible and the miserable.
Allen, Woody
The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive.
Robert Heinlein
Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward.
Kierkegaard, S°ren
It is not how many years we live, but rather what we do with them.
Booth, Evangeline Cory
A large city cannot be experientially known; its life is too manifold for any individual to be able to participate in it.
Huxley, Aldous
A city is a place where there is no need to wait for next week to get the answer to a question, to taste the food of any country, to find new voices to listen to and familiar ones to listen to again.
Mead, Margaret
Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.
Camus, Albert
You live in a deranged age, more deranged that usual, because in spite of great scientific and technological advances, man has not the faintest idea of who he is or what he is doing.
Percy, Walker
