Motivational Quotes
Life
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.

Best Quotes about Life
The continuous invention of new ways of observing is man's special secret of living.
Young, J. Z.
I have an existential map; it has you are here written all over it.
Wright, Steven
We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from it.
Osler, Sir William
The simplification of life is one of the steps to inner peace. A persistent simplification will create an inner and outer well-being that places harmony in one's life.
Pilgrim, Peace
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
City life is millions of people being lonesome together.
Thoreau, Henry David
Life can be pulled by goals just as surely as it can be pushed by drives.
Frankl, Viktor E.
After reading all that has been written, and after thinking all that can be thought, on the topics of God and the soul, the man who has a right to say that he thinks at all, will find himself face to face with the conclusion that, on these topics, the most profound thought is that which can be the least easily distinguished from the most superficial sentiment.
Poe, Edgar Allan
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
When in Rome, do as Rome does.
Bierce, Ambrose
Life itself is the proper binge.
Child, Julia
If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.
Roosevelt, Eleanor
Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: I'm with you kid. Let's go.
Angelou, Maya
There is no shortcut to life. To the end of our days, life is a lesson imperfectly learned.
Salisbury, Harrison
The art of mastering life is the prerequisite for all further forms of expression, whether they are paintings, sculptures, tragedies, or musical compositions.
Klee, Paul
Remember, a dead fish can float downstream, but it takes a live one to swim upstream.
Fields, W. C.
Life has taught me to think, but thinking has not taught me to live.
Herzen, Alexander
One of the most appalling comments on our present way of life is that half of all the beds in our hospitals are reserved for patients with nervous and mental troubles, patients who have collapsed under the crushing burden of accumulated yesterdays and fearful tomorrows. Yet a vast majority of those people would be walking the streets today, leading happy, useful lives, if they had only heeded the words of Jesus: Have no anxiety about the morrow; or the words of Sir William Osler; Live in day-tight compartments.
Carnegie, Dale
Those who live are those who fight.
Hugo, Victor
Just as all thought, and primarily that of non-signification, signifies something, so there is no art that has no signification.
Camus, Albert
Three keys to more abundant living: caring about others, daring for others, sharing with others.
Ward, William A.
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
We dribble away our life, little by little, in small packages -- we don't throw it away all at once.
Cook, Robert A.
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
People should always have something which they prefer to life.
Seume, Johann G.
Deep down, no one really believes they have a right to live. But this death sentence generally stays tucked away, hidden beneath the difficulty of living. If that difficulty is removed from time to time, death is suddenly there, unintelligibly.
Baudrillard, Jean
Cities, like cats, will reveal themselves at night.
Brooke, Rupert
Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.
Thoreau, Henry David
Life's but a day at most.
Burns, George
You are a little soul carrying around a corpse.
Epictetus
Life is action and passion; therefore, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of the time, at peril of being judged not to have lived.
Holmes Jr., Oliver Wendell
Life does not consist mainly, or even largely, of facts and happenings. It consists mainly of the storm of thought that is forever flowing through one's head.
Twain, Mark
Life is like eating artichokes, you have got to go through so much to get so little.
Dorgan, Thomas A.
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
If I shall sell both my forenoons and afternoons to society, as most appear to do, I'm sure that, for me, there would be nothing left worth living for.
Thoreau, Henry David
This also -- that I live, I consider a gift of God.
Ovid
Life is an unbroken succession of false situations.
Thornton Wilder
The world's mine oyster, which I with sword will open.
William Shakespeare
We live everything as it comes, without warning, like an actor going on cold. And what can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself? That is why life is always a sketch. No sketch is not quite the right word, because a sketch is an outline of something, the groundwork for a picture, whereas the sketch that is our life is a sketch of nothing, an outline with no picture.
Kundera, Milan
In real life, however, you don't react to what someone did; you react only to what you think she did, and the gap between action and perception is bridged by the art of impression management. If life itself is but what you deem it, then why not focus your efforts on persuading others to believe that you are a virtuous and trustworthy cooperator?
Jonathan Haidt
You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.
Krishnamurti, Jiddu
Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late
Franklin, Benjamin
Life is something that everyone should try at least once.
Henry J. Tillman
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo
Simply the thing I am shall make me live.
Shakespeare, William
One recipe for a longer life; Never exceed the speed limit.
Live virtuously, and you cannot not die too soon, or live too long.
Russell, Lady R.
Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.
Brendan Gill
Every man has the right to risk his own life in order to save it.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me.
Schweitzer, Albert
