Best Quotes about Life
Life is an unbroken succession of false situations.
Thornton Wilder
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
Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward.
Kierkegaard, S°ren
If you believed more in life you would fling yourself less to the moment.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
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
It is not length of life, but depth of life.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
When we exercise self-control on a given occasion, we win for ourselves a little credibility we can rely on the next time around. Pretty soon we develop a reputation to ourselves that we want badly to uphold. With each test that we meet, our resolve gains momentum, fueled by the fear that we may succumb and establish a damaging precedent for our own weakness.
Daniel Akst
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
Washington is a place where politicians don't know which way is up and taxes don't know which way is down.
Orben, Robert
My life is a battle.
Voltaire
Life is not one thing after another. It's the same damn thing over and over!
It doesn't matter much where you live. It only matters how well you live when you're there
In between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed.
Caesar, Sid
Prepare for death, if here at night you roam, and sign your will before you sup from home.
Johnson, Samuel
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
The enjoyments of this life are not equal to its evils.
Pliny The Elder
I believe that life is a journey, often difficult and sometimes incredibly cruel, but we are well equipped for it if only we tap into our talents and gifts and allow them to blossom.
Brown, Les
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.
Plato
The surrender of life is nothing to sinking down into acknowledgment of inferiority.
Calhoun, John C.
She fights and vanquishes in me, and I live and breathe in her, and I have life and being.
Cervantes, Miguel De
Take life as you find it, but don't leave it that way
I should have no objection to go over the same life from its beginning to the end: requesting only the advantage authors have, of correcting in a second edition the faults of the first.
Franklin, Benjamin
Perhaps life is just that... a dream and a fear.
Conrad, Joseph
Washington is an endless series of mock palaces clearly built for clerks.
Huxtable, Ada Louise
Life is the only art that we are required to practice without preparation, and without being allowed the preliminary trials, the failures and botches, that are essential for training.
Mumford, Lewis
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
In the game of life it's a good idea to have a few early losses, which relieves you of the pressure of trying to maintain an undefeated season.
Baughan, Bill
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
Life must be lived forward, but can only be understood backwards.
Kierkegaard, S°ren
The first thing that strikes a visitor to Paris is a taxi.
Allen, Fred A.
Every man's life is a fairy tale written by God's finger.
Anderson, Hans Christian
Cities, like cats, will reveal themselves at night.
Brooke, Rupert
Optimism and humor are the grease and glue of life. Without both of them we would never have survived our captivity.
Butler, Philip
It is vanity to desire a long life and to take no heed of a good life.
Kempis, Thomas
The person who does not know how to live while they are making a living is a poorer person after their wealth is won than when they started.
Holland, Josiah Gilbert
Life, an age to the miserable, and a moment to the happy.
Bacon, Francis
Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.
Thoreau, Henry David
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
Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.
Camus, Albert
Look to the future, because that is where you'll spend the rest of your life.
Burns, George
Life is a wilderness of twists and turns, where faith is your only compass.
Santaguida, Paul
On the whole, I am on the side of the unregenerate who affirms the worth of life as an end in itself, as against the saints who deny it.
Holmes Jr., Oliver Wendell
Life flows on within you and without you.
Harrison, George
Life is raw material. We are artisans. We can sculpt our existence into something beautiful, or debase it into ugliness. It's in our hands.
Better, Cathy
I can't be bitter. No one has a contract on life.
Heath, David M.
We will neglect our cities to our peril, for in neglecting them we neglect the nation.
Kennedy, John F.
There is always inequity in life. Some men are killed in a war, and some men are wounded, and some men are stationed in the Antarctic and some are stationed in San Francisco. It's very hard in military or personal life to assure complete equality. Life
Kennedy, John F.
Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.
Frankl, Viktor E.
New York is not Mecca. It just smells like it.
Simon, Neil
Life is a continual process of remaking ourselves.
