- Osler, Sir William
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways.
Benet, Stephen Vincent

2.
To find the point where hypothesis and fact meet; the delicate equilibrium between dream and reality; the place where fantasy and earthly things are metamorphosed into a work of art; the hour when faith in the future becomes knowledge of the past; to lay down one's power for others in need; to shake off the old ordeal and get ready for the new; to question, knowing that never can the full answer be found; to accept uncertainties quietly, even our incomplete knowledge of God; this is what man's journey is about, I think.
Smith, Lillian

3.
Life is the farce which everyone has to perform.
Rimbaud, Arthur

4.
The crime problem in New York is getting really serious. The other day the Statue of Liberty had both hands up.
Leno, Jay

5.
Accept life, take it as it is? Stupid. The means of doing otherwise? Far from our having to take it, it is life that possesses us and on occasion shuts our mouths.
Camus, Albert

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 has taught me to think, but thinking has not taught me to live.
Herzen, Alexander

8.
There is only one way to come into this world; there are too many ways to leave it.
Harington, Donald

9.
Nothing is beneath you if it is in the direction of your life.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

10.
Refrain from asking what going to happen tomorrow, and everyday that fortune grants you, count as gain.
Horace

11.
The mountains, rivers, earth, grasses, trees, and forests are always emanating a subtle, precious light, day and night, always emanating a subtle, precious sound, demonstrating and expounding to all people the unsurpassed ultimate truth.
Yuan-Sou

12.
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

13.
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

14.
To look at the cross-section of any plan of a big city is to look at something like the section of a fibrous tumor.
Wright, Frank Lloyd

15.
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

16.
Lord, how the day passes! It is like a life, so quickly when we don't watch it, and so slowly if we do.
Steinbeck, John

17.
The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extra human architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish. At first glance, the rhythm may be confused with gaiety, but when you look more closely at the mechanism of social life and the painful slavery of both men and machines, you see that it is nothing but a kind of typical, empty anguish that makes even crime and gangs forgivable means of escape.
Lorca, Federico Garcia

18.
Life is just a mirror, and what you see out there, you must first see inside of you.
Wally'Famous'Amos

19.
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

20.
What is a city, but the people; true the people are the city.
Coriolanus III

21.
No one knows when they are well off.
Punch

22.
To live is not breathing it is action.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

23.
Life -- how curious is that habit that makes us think it is not here, but elsewhere.
Pritchett, V. S.

24.
Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead, that is where your future lies.
Landers, Ann

25.
When I hear somebody sigh that Life is hard, I am always tempted to ask, Compared to what?
Harris, Sidney J.

26.
Every time I look into the eyes of an animal I see life; the force of life and the beauty of creation
O'Reilly, Radar

27.
The life of man is a long march through the night, surrounded by invisible foes, tortured by weariness and pain, towards a goal that few can hope to reach, and where none may tarry long.
Russell, Bertrand

28.
In place of a world, there is a city, a point, in which the whole life of broad regions is collecting while the rest dries up. In place of a type-true people, born of and grown on the soil, there is a new sort of nomad, cohering unstably in fluid masses, the parasitical city dweller, traditionless, utterly matter-of-fact, religionless, clever, unfruitful, deeply contemptuous of the countryman and especially that highest form of countryman, the country gentleman.
Spengler, Oswald

29.
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

30.
Life is like Sanskrit read to a pony.
Reed, Lou

31.
A city is a large community where people are lonesome together.
Prochnow, Herbert

32.
Live today for tomorrow it will all be history.
Proverb

33.
Living Life Tomorrow's fate, though thou be wise, Thou canst not tell nor yet surmise; Pass, therefore, not today in vain, For it will never come again.
Khayyam, Omar

34.
Our life's journey of self-discovery is not a straight-line rise from one level of consciousness to another. Instead, it is a series of steep climbs and flat plateaus, then further climbs. Even though we all approach the journey from different directions, certain of the journey's characteristics are common to all of us.
Wilde, Stuart

35.
Life -- No, I've nothing to teach you about it for the moment. May be writing about it another week.
Forster, Edward M.

36.
Life's but a day at most.
Burns, George

37.
We have long forgotten the ritual by which the house of our life was erected. But when it is under assault and enemy bombs are already taking their toll, what enervated, perverse antiquities do they not lay bare in the foundations.
Benjamin, Walter

38.
The sad souls of those who lived without blame and without praise.
Dante Alighieri

39.
To a wise man every day is a new life.

40.
We never live, but we hope to live; and as we are always arranging to be happy, it must be that we never are so.
Pascal, Blaise

41.
Even when I'm sick and depressed, I love life.
Rubinstein, Arthur

42.
Life is difficult and complicated and beyond anyone's total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.
J.K. Rowling

43.
Life's enchanted cup sparkles near the brim.
Byron, Lord

44.
Perhaps life is just that... a dream and a fear.
Conrad, Joseph

45.
Life is a foreign language: all men mispronounce it.
Morley, Christopher

46.
Life is not having been told that the man has just waxed the floor.
Nash, Ogden

47.
When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

48.
Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.
Seneca

49.
Life is constantly providing us with new funds, new resources, even when we are reduced to immobility. In life's ledger there is no such thing as frozen assets.
Miller, Henry

50.
Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith.
Steve Jobs
