Life

Dance like no one is watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like no one is listening, Live like it's heaven on earth.
- Purkey, William
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
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.
Pavese, Cesare

2.
Cities give us collision. 'Tis said, London and New York take the nonsense out of a man.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

3.
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

4.
Washington is an endless series of mock palaces clearly built for clerks.
Huxtable, Ada Louise

5.
Live today for tomorrow it will all be history.
Proverb

6.
The average person living to age 70 has 613, 000 hours of life. This is too long a period not to have fun.

7.
The difference between life and the movies is that a script has to make sense, and life doesn't.
Mankiewicz, Joseph L.

8.
What I like about cities is that everything is king size, the beauty and the ugliness.
Brodsky, Joseph

9.
Life is a reciprocal exchange. To move forward, you have to give back.
Oprah Winfrey

10.
Life isn't like a book. Life isn't logical or sensible or orderly. Life is a mess most of the time. And theology must be lived in the midst of that mess.
Colton, Charles Caleb

11.
Can't nothing make your life work if you ain't the architect.
McMillan, Terry

12.
When we speak the word life, it must be understood we are not referring to life as we know it from its surface of fact, but to that fragile, fluctuating center which forms never reach.
Artaud, Antonin

13.
The purpose of life is to fight maturity.
Dick Werthimer

14.
The city is loveliest when the sweet death racket begins. Her own life lived in defiance of nature, her electricity, her frigidaires, her soundproof walls, the glint of lacquered nails, the plumes that wave across the corrugated sky. Here in the coffin depths grow the everlasting flowers sent by telegraph.
Miller, Henry

15.
Boston is a moral and intellectual nursery always busy applying first principles to trifles.
Santayana, George

16.
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.

17.
Life is a petty thing unless it is moved by the indomitable urge to extend its boundaries. Only in proportion as we are desirous of living more do we really live.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

18.
I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I have just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.
Ackerman, Diane

19.
This is a world of action, and not for moping and droning in.
Dickens, Charles

20.
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

21.
We live, not as we wish to, but as we can.
Menander of Athens

22.
Washington is no place for a good actor. The competition from bad actors is too great.
Allen, Fred A.

23.
It is advisable that a person know at least three things, where they are, where they are going, and what they had best do under the circumstances.
Ruskin, John

24.
Today's city is the most vulnerable social structure ever conceived by man.
Oppenheimer, Martin

25.
There is one thing that matters -- to set a chime of words tinkling in the minds of a few fastidious people.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

26.
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

27.
Well, take your time and don't live too fast. Troubles will come and they will pass. Find a woman and you'll find love. Don't forget, son, there is someone up above.
Skynard, Lynard

28.
Living the truth in your heart without compromise brings kindness into the world. Attempts at kindness that compromise your heart cause only sadness.

29.
Life is always walking up to us and saying, 'Come on in, the living's fine,' and what do we do? Back off and take its picture.
Baker, Russell (Wayne)

30.
Life is a dead-end street.
Mencken, H. L.

31.
Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

32.
Life has taught me to think, but thinking has not taught me to live.
Herzen, Alexander

33.
All that man has will he give for his life.
Bible

34.
Give a man a dollar and you cheer his heart. Give him a dream and you challenge his heart. Give him Christ and you change his heart. Then the dollar and the dream become meaningful to him, and to others.
Strait, C. Neil

35.
The great city is that which has the greatest man or woman: if it be a few ragged huts, it is still the greatest city in the whole world.
Whitman, Walt

36.
Life is essentially a cheat and its conditions are those of defeat... the redeeming things are not happiness and pleasure but the deeper satisfactions that come out of struggle.

37.
We dribble away our life, little by little, in small packages -- we don't throw it away all at once.
Cook, Robert A.

38.
What else can you expect from a town that's shut off from the world by the ocean on one side and New Jersey on the other?
Henry, O.

39.
The only reason they come to see me is that I know that life is great -- and they know I know it.
Gable, Clark

40.
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

41.
Life, we learn too late, is in the living, the tissue of every day and hour.
Leacock, Stephen B.

42.
There is no solitude in the world like that of the big city.
Norris, Kathleen

43.
Much violence is based on the illusion that life is a property to be defended and not to be shared.
Nouwen, Henri

44.
The crime problem in New York is getting really serious. The other day the Statue of Liberty had both hands up.
Leno, Jay

45.
The major justification for a life is the happiness and reward it brings to other lives.

46.
Is this not the true romantic feeling; not to desire to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping you.
Wolfe, Thomas

47.
On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.
Buddha

48.
It is faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes a life worth looking at.
Holmes, Oliver Wendell

49.
The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds, and the pessimist fears this is true.
Cabell, James Branch

50.
Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.
Brendan Gill
