Life

The world has so many lessons to teach you. I consider the world, our earth, to be like a school, and our life, the classrooms. Sometimes on our planet life school, the lessons often come dressed up as detours and road blocks and sometimes as full blown crises. And the secret I've learned to getting ahead is being open to the lessons.
- Oprah Winfrey
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it is one damn thing over and over.
Edna St. Vincent Millay

2.
In the early days of the Indian Territory, there were no such things as birth certificates. You being there was certificate enough.
Rogers, Will

3.
Not to find one's way in a city may well be uninteresting and banal. It requires ignorance -- nothing more. But to lose oneself in a city -- as one loses oneself in a forest -- that calls for a quite different schooling. Then, signboard and street names, passers-by, roofs, kiosks, or bars must speak to the wanderer like a cracking twig under his feet in the forest.
Benjamin, Walter

4.
Man wants to live, but it is useless to hope that this desire will dictate all his actions.
Camus, Albert

5.
Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.
Seneca

6.
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

7.
Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans.
Lennon, John

8.
People creep into childhood, bound into youth, sober in adulthood, and soften into old age.
Giles, Henry

9.
Life is like eating artichokes, you have got to go through so much to get so little.
Dorgan, Thomas A.

10.
The major justification for a life is the happiness and reward it brings to other lives.

11.
Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.
Hemingway, Ernest

12.
The finest lives in my opinion are the common model, without miracle and without extravagance.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

13.
It is quite true what Philosophy says: that Life must be understood backwards. But that makes one forget the other saying: that it must be lived --forwards. The more one ponders this, the more it comes to mean that life in the temporal existence never becomes quite intelligible, precisely because at no moment can I find complete quiet to take the backward-looking position.
Kierkegaard, S°ren

14.
Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning.
Miller, Henry

15.
Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are travelling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind.
Amiel, Henri Frederic

16.
Life is really about a spiritual unfolding that is personal and enchanting -- an unfolding that no science or philosophy or religion has yet fully clarified.
Redfield, James

17.
Most of us fall short much more by omission than by commission. While the world perishes we go our way: purposeless, passionless, day after day.
Pilgrim, Peace

18.
A city is a large community where people are lonesome together.
Prochnow, Herbert

19.
Life was mostly made up of things you couldn't control, full of surprises, and they weren't always good. Life wasn't what you made it. You were what life made you.
Sara Zarr

20.
Life's enchanted cup sparkles near the brim.
Byron, Lord

21.
The cities of the world are concentric, isomorphic, synchronic. Only one exists and you are always in the same one. It's the effect of their permanent revolution, their intense circulation, their instantaneous magnetism.
Baudrillard, Jean

22.
Prepare for death, if here at night you roam, and sign your will before you sup from home.
Johnson, Samuel

23.
Man's course begins in a garden, but it ends in a city.
Maclaren, Alexander

24.
Each man must look to himself to teach him the meaning of life. It is not something discovered: it is something molded.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

25.
Life is a foreign language: all men mispronounce it.
Morley, Christopher

26.
Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.
Camus, Albert

27.
Can't nothing make your life work if you ain't the architect.
McMillan, Terry

28.
Life is uncharted territory. It reveals its story one moment at a time.
Buscaglia, Leo

29.
A great city, whose image dwells in the memory of man, is the type of some great idea. Rome represents conquest; Faith hovers over the towers of Jerusalem; and Athens embodies the pre-eminent quality of the antique world, Art.
Disraeli, Benjamin

30.
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

31.
Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.
William Shakespeare

32.
The game of life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy.
Shinn, Florence Scovel

33.
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

34.
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

35.
Life is just a bowl of pits.
Rodney Dangerfield

36.
Life is an earnest business, and no one every became good or great on a diet of broad grins.
Blackie, Professor

37.
Either these [unsaved] people are to be evangelized, or the leaven of communism and infidelity will assume such enormous proportions that it will break you in a reign of terror such as this country has never known.
Moody, Dwight L.

38.
Life is full and overflowing with the new. But it is necessary to empty out the old to make room for the new to enter.
Caddy, Eileen

39.
Is life worth living? It all depends on the liver.
James, William

40.
Life isn't fair. It's just fairer than death, that's all.
William Goldman

41.
Life is an exciting business, and most exciting when it is lived for others
Keller, Helen

42.
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

43.
I found Rome brick, I left it marble.
Augustus, Caesar

44.
Life is like riding a bicycle. You don't fall off unless you stop peddling.
Pepper, Claude D.

45.
Where there is life there is wishful thinking.
Lieberman, Gerald F.

46.
Who goes to Rome a beast returns a beast.
Proverb, Italian

47.
Life is like a taxi. The meter just keeps a-ticking whether you are getting somewhere or just standing still.
Erickson, Lou

48.
The purpose of life is the expansion of happiness.
Yogi, Maharishi Mahesh

49.
Life. A spiritual pickle preserving the body from decay.
Bierce, Ambrose

50.
It is not true that we have only one life to live; if we can read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.
Hayakawa, S. I.
