Motivational Quotes
Life
We don't beat the Grim Reaper by living longer, we beat the Reaper by living well and living fully, for the Reaper will come for all of us. The question is what do we do between the time we are born and the time he shows up. It's too late to do all the things that you're gonna kinda get around to.

Best Quotes about Life
There is more sophistication and less sense in New York than anywhere else on the globe.
Herold, Don
New York is an exciting town where something is happening all the time, most unsolved.
Carson, Johnny
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
My kids idea of a hard life is to live in a house with only one phone.
Foreman, George
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
If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.
Roosevelt, Eleanor
What I like about cities is that everything is king size, the beauty and the ugliness.
Brodsky, Joseph
Live as you would have wished to live when you come to die.
Gellert
The continuous invention of new ways of observing is man's special secret of living.
Young, J. Z.
When I consider life, it is all a cheat. Yet fooled with hope, people favor this deceit.
Dryden, John
Life is a fatal complaint, and an eminently contagious one.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Feelings are really your GPS system for life. When your supposed to do something, or not supposed to do something, your emotional guidance system lets you know.
Oprah Winfrey
Life is an offensive, directed against the repetitious mechanism of the Universe.
Whitehead, Alfred North
Can't nothing make your life work if you ain't the architect.
McMillan, Terry
Nothing can be meaner than the anxiety to live on, to live on anyhow and in any shape; a spirit with any honor is not willing to live except in its own way, and a spirit with any wisdom is not over-eager to live at all.
Santayana, George
Life marches by, I suggest you get on with it.
Baluch, Joy
The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.
Mumford, Lewis
He who allows his day to pass by without practicing generosity and enjoying life's pleasures is like a blacksmith's bellows. He breathes, but does not live.
Proverb
We would like to live as we once lived, but history will not permit it.
Kennedy, John F.
Living, just by itself -- what a dirge that is! Life is a classroom and Boredom's the usher, there all the time to spy on you; whatever happens, you've got to look as if you were awfully busy all the time doing something that's terribly exciting --or he'll come along and nibble your brain.
Celine, Louis-Ferdinand
The goal of life is living in agreement with nature.
Zeno
The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination.
Rogers, Carl
The cloud-capp'd towers,the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on; and our little life Is rounded with a sleep.
William Shakespeare
Life's a bitch, and life's got lots of sisters.
Presser, Ross
The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life.
Wright, Frank Lloyd
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
There are chapters in every life which are seldom read and certainly not aloud.
Shields, Carol
The art of living lies not in eliminating but in growing with troubles.
Baruch, Bernard M.
Life is but a game and we are the playthings of the gods.
Life is a foreign language: all men mispronounce it.
Morley, Christopher
Life is a state of mind.
Warden, Jack
Life is at its best when it's shaken and stirred.
Facult, F. Paul
Life is too short to be little. Man is never so manly as when he feels deeply, acts boldly, and expresses himself with frankness and with fervor.
Disraeli, Benjamin
It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it's one damn thing over and over.
Millay, Edna St. Vincent
All of life is a foreign country.
Kerouac, Jack
There is one thing that matters -- to set a chime of words tinkling in the minds of a few fastidious people.
Smith, Logan Pearsall
The essential conditions of everything you do must be choice, love, passion.
Boulanger, Nadia
Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the Earth are never alone or weary of life.
Carson, Rachel
Life! Life! Don't let us go to life for our fulfillment or our experience. It is a thing narrowed by circumstances, incoherent in its utterance, and without that fine correspondence of form and spirit which is the only thing that can satisfy the artistic
Wilde, Oscar
People need to be made more aware of the need to work at learning how to live because life is so quick and sometimes it goes away too quickly
Warhol, Andy
Where the criminals cover their crimes by making them legal. [On Washington D. C.]
Dane, Frank
The art of living is more like that of wrestling than of dancing; the main thing is to stand firm and be ready for an unseen attack.
Aurelius, Marcus
We are doomed to cling to a life even while we find it unendurable.
James, William
Man is born to live and not to prepare to live.
Pasternak, Boris
Life is just a journey
Diana, Princess of Wales
The aim of life is some way of living, as flexible and gentle as human nature; so that ambition may stoop to kindness, and philosophy to condor and humor. Neither prosperity nor empire nor heaven can be worth winning at the price of a virulent temper, bloody hands, an anguished spirit, and a vain hatred of the rest of the world.
Santayana, George
Live today for tomorrow it will all be history.
Proverb
The energy of the mind is the essence of life.
Aristotle
Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!
Gauguin, Paul
Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be.
Moses, Grandma
