Motivational Quotes

Life

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
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
In the early days all I hoped was to make a living out of what I did best. But, since there's no real market for masturbation I had to fall back on my bass playing abilities.
Claypool, Les

2.
Life is a dead-end street.
Mencken, H. L.

3.
The world is not to be put in order; the world is order, incarnate. It is for us to harmonize with this order.
Miller, Henry

4.
Nobody's journey is seamless or smooth. We all stumble. We all have setbacks. It's just life's way of saying, "Time to change course."
Oprah Winfrey

5.
Our first ideas of life are generally taken from fiction rather than fact.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

6.
He lives who dies to win a lasting name.
Drummond, Henry

7.
The Metropolis should have been aborted long before it became New York, London or Tokyo.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

8.
Life marches by, I suggest you get on with it.
Baluch, Joy

9.
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

10.
Live virtuously, and you cannot not die too soon, or live too long.
Russell, Lady R.

11.
If you believed more in life you would fling yourself less to the moment.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

12.
The only reason they come to see me is that I know that life is great -- and they know I know it.
Gable, Clark

13.
Life is like riding a bicycle. You don't fall off unless you stop peddling.
Pepper, Claude D.

14.
Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.
Camus, Albert

15.
The less routine the more life.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

16.
The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things
Rilke, Rainer Maria

17.
One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure its worth watching.

18.
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- that myth is more potent than history. I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts -- That hope always triumphs over experience -- That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.
Fulghum, Robert

19.
But look what we have built low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace. Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums. Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.
Jacobs, Jane

20.
Today's city is the most vulnerable social structure ever conceived by man.
Oppenheimer, Martin

21.
The best things in life are never rationed. Friendship, loyalty, and love. They do not require coupons.
Hewitt, George T.

22.
There is more to life than simply increasing its speed.
Gandhi, Mahatma

23.
You are a little soul carrying around a corpse.
Epictetus

24.
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

25.
Life is short, but it's long enough to ruin any man who wants to be ruined.
Billings, Josh

26.
Life comes from physical survival; but the good life comes from what we care about.
May, Rollo

27.
Every perfect life is a parable invented by God.
Weil, Simone

28.
In the morning of life, work; in the mid day give council; in the evening, pray.
Proverb, German

29.
Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late
Franklin, Benjamin

30.
It's not how long life is but the quality of our life that is important.
Dawson, Roger

31.
This tattered life is my only robe; the wind my only refuge.
Mountain, Marian

32.
Life is a flower of which love is the honey.
Hugo, Victor

33.
You're alive. Do something. The directive in life, the moral imperative was so uncomplicated. It could be expressed in single words, not complete sentences. It sounded like this: Look. Listen. Choose. Act.
Barbara Hall

34.
In the book of life every page has two sides: we human beings fill the upper side with our plans, hopes and wishes, but providence writes on the other side, and what it ordains is seldom our goal.
Nisami

35.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
Steve Jobs

36.
What I like about cities is that everything is king size, the beauty and the ugliness.
Brodsky, Joseph

37.
Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to apply them.
Gauguin, Paul

38.
What life means to us is determined, not so much by what life brings to us as by the attitude we bring to life; not so much by what happens to us as by our reaction to what happens.
Dunnington, Lewis L

39.
A man's life is 20 years of having his mother ask him where he is going, 40 years of having his wife ask the same question and, at the end, perhaps having the mourners wondering too.

40.
A neighborhood is a residential area that is changing for the worse.
Ciardi, John

41.
Life. A spiritual pickle preserving the body from decay.
Bierce, Ambrose

42.
Two babies were born on the same day at the same hospital. They lay there and looked at each other. Their families came and took them away. Eighty years later, by a bizarre coincidence, they lay in the same hospital, on their deathbeds, next to each other. One of them looked at the other and said,so. What did you think?
Wright, Steven

43.
Life is uncharted territory. It reveals its story one moment at a time.
Buscaglia, Leo

44.
What is important in life is life, and not the result of life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

45.
Don't be afraid of death so much as an inadequate life.
Brecht, Bertolt

46.
Eternal truths will be neither true nor eternal unless they have fresh meaning for every new social situation.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

47.
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

48.
The cities of America are inexpressibly tedious. The Bostonians take their learning too sadly; culture with them is an accomplishment rather than an atmosphere; their Hub, as they call it, is the paradise of prigs. Chicago is a sort of monster-shop, full of bustles and bores. Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry. Baltimore is amusing for a week, but Philadelphia is dreadfully provincial; and though one can dine in New York one could not dwell there.
Wilde, Oscar

49.
Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.
Seneca

50.
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
