Motivational Quotes
Life
Any city however small, is in fact divided into two, one the city of the poor, the other of the rich. These are at war with one another.
Best Quotes about Life
Live as you would have wished to live when you come to die.
Gellert
Life is a gamble at terrible odds, if it were a bet, you would not take it.
Stoppard, Tom
Life -- how curious is that habit that makes us think it is not here, but elsewhere.
Pritchett, V. S.
To live fully is to let go and die with each passing moment, and to be reborn in each new one.
Kornfield, Jack
Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum.
Holmes Jr., Oliver Wendell
Where the criminals cover their crimes by making them legal. [On Washington D. C.]
Dane, Frank
Life, an age to the miserable, and a moment to the happy.
Bacon, Francis
This tattered life is my only robe; the wind my only refuge.
Mountain, Marian
Life is indeed difficult, partly because of the real difficulties we must overcome in order to survive, and partly because of our own innate desire to always do better, to overcome new challenges, to self-actualize. Happiness is experienced largely in striving towards a goal, not in having attained things, because our nature is always to want to go on to the next endeavor.
Albert Ellis, Michael Abrams, Lidia Dengelegi
Life is like Sanskrit read to a pony.
Reed, Lou
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
Woody Allen
Life in the twentieth century is like a parachute jump; you have to get it right the first time.
Mead, Margaret
For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. [James 4:14]
Bible
The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.
Ben Stein
The slightest living thing answers a deeper need than all the works of man because it is transitory. It has an evanescence of life, or growth, or change: it passes, as we do, from one stage to the another, from darkness to darkness, into a distance where we, too, vanish out of sight. A work of art is static; and its value and its weakness lie in being so: but the tuft of grass and the clouds above it belong to our own travelling brotherhood.
Stark, Freya
Threescore years and ten is enough; if a man can't suffer all the misery he wants in that time, he must be numb.
Billings, Josh
Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the Earth are never alone or weary of life.
Carson, Rachel
It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it is one damn thing over and over.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Live as if everything you do will eventually be known.
Prather, Hugh
Order your soul; reduce your wants; live in charity; associate in Christian community; obey the laws; trust in Providence.
Augustine, St.
It is not how many years we live, but rather what we do with them.
Booth, Evangeline Cory
A life-worshipper's philosophy is comprehensive. He is at one moment a positivist and at another a mystic: now haunted by the thought of death and now a Dionysian child of nature; now a pessimist and now, with a change of lover or liver or even the weather, an exuberant believer that God's in his heaven and all's right with the world.
Huxley, Aldous
Nature has invented reproduction as a mechanism for life to move forward. As a life force that passes right through us and makes us a link in the evolution of life.
Louis Schwartzberg
Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.
Brendan Gill
I'm impressed with the people from Chicago. Hollywood is hype, New York is talk, Chicago is work.
Douglas, Michael
Towns oftener swamp one than carry one out onto the big ocean of life.
Lawrence, D. H.
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
Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law.
Kant, Immanuel
Life is like wine, the longer you take to enjoy it the more chance you've got of tasting vinegar.
The essence of life is finding something you really love and then making the daily experience worthwhile.
Waitley, Denis
Life isn't simple. But the beauty of it is, you can always start over. It'll get easier.
Alacia Bessette
The Metropolis should have been aborted long before it became New York, London or Tokyo.
Galbraith, John Kenneth
This is what you shall do: love the earth and sun, and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence towards the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or to any man or number of men; go freely with the powerful uneducated persons, and with the young, and mothers, of families: read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life: re-examine all you have been told at school or church, or in any books, and dismiss whatever insults your soul.
Whitman, Walt
The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds, and the pessimist fears this is true.
Cabell, James Branch
Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward.
Kierkegaard, S°ren
Don't worry about your life; what you shall eat, or drink, or the clothing for your body. [Matthew 6:31]
Bible
This city now doth, like a garment, wear the beauty of the morning; silent bare, ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples lie open unto the fields and to the sky; All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
Wordsworth, William
This is what is sad when one contemplates human life, that so many live out their lives in quiet lostness... they live, as it were, away from themselves and vanish like shadows. Their immortal souls are blown away, and they are not disquieted by the question of its immortality, because they are already disintegrated before they die.
Kierkegaard, S°ren
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
Life may not be beautiful, but it is interesting.
Seeley, Sir John Robert
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
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
Optimism and humor are the grease and glue of life. Without both of them we would never have survived our captivity.
Butler, Philip
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
Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!
Gauguin, Paul
Life is a foreign language: all men mispronounce it.
Morley, Christopher
You can have peace of mind, improved health and an ever-increasing flow of energy. Life can be full of joy and satisfaction.
Peale, Norman Vincent
Life is not having been told that the man has just waxed the floor.
Nash, Ogden
Most people think life sucks, and then you die. Not me. I beg to differ. I think life sucks, then you get cancer, then your dog dies, your wife leaves you, the cancer goes into remission, you get a new dog, you get remarried, you owe ten million dollars in medical bills but you work hard for thirty-five years and you pay it back and then -- one day -- you have a massive stroke, your whole right side is paralyzed, you have to limp along the streets and speak out of the left side of your mouth and drool but you go into rehabilitation and regain the power to walk and the power to talk and then -- one day -- you step off a curb at Sixty-seventh Street, and BANG you get hit by a city bus and then you die. Maybe.
Leary, Denis
The purpose of life is to fight maturity.
Dick Werthimer
