Motivational Quotes
Life
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life... I wanted to live so sturdily and so Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life... to drive life into a corner to know it by experience and be able to give an account of it in my next excursion.

Best Quotes about Life
Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor.
Aleichem, Sholom
How could drops of water know themselves to be a river? Yet the river flows on.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
I found Rome brick, I left it marble.
Augustus, Caesar
Life begins when you get out of the grandstand into the game.
Debevoise, P. L.
Do not take life too seriously; you will never get out of it alive.
Hubbard, Elbert
Life without meaning cannot be borne. We find a mission to which we're sworn
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
Life It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury; signifying nothing.
Shakespeare, William
What a life! True life is elsewhere. We are not in the world.
Rimbaud, Arthur
And so from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe, and then, from hour to hour,we rot and rot; and thereby hangs a tale.
William Shakespeare
Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: I'm with you kid. Let's go.
Angelou, Maya
Life at the greatest and best is but a froward child, that must be humored and coaxed a little till it falls asleep, and then all the care is over.
Goldsmith, Oliver
We never live, but we hope to live; and as we are always arranging to be happy, it must be that we never are so.
Pascal, Blaise
Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!
Gauguin, Paul
Attack life, it's going to kill you anyway.
Coallier, Steven
New York is an exciting town where something is happening all the time, most unsolved.
Carson, Johnny
The lessons this life has planted in my heart pertain more to caring than crops, more to Golden Rule than gold, more to the proper choice than to the popular choice.
Kirby Larson
Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead, that is where your future lies.
Landers, Ann
Cities are distinguished by the catastrophic forms they presuppose and which are a vital part of their essential charm. New York is King Kong, or the blackout, or vertical bombardment: Towering Inferno. Los Angeles is the horizontal fault, California breaking off and sliding into the Pacific: Earthquake.
Baudrillard, Jean
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.
We live, not as we wish to, but as we can.
Menander of Athens
It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it is one damn thing over and over.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
You have to do what you love to do, not get stuck in that comfort zone of a regular job. Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it.
Basset, Lucinda
There is more sophistication and less sense in New York than anywhere else on the globe.
Herold, Don
The Metropolis should have been aborted long before it became New York, London or Tokyo.
Galbraith, John Kenneth
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
May you live as long as you want and not want as long as you live.
Hanks, Tom
Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.
Sartre, Jean-Paul
There is only one way to come into this world; there are too many ways to leave it.
Harington, Donald
Try as much as possible to be wholly alive, with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell and when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.
Saroyan, William
Life is like a taxi. The meter just keeps a-ticking whether you are getting somewhere or just standing still.
Erickson, Lou
You don't get to choose how you're going to die, or when. You can decide how you're going to live now.
Baez, Joan
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
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
The truest end of life, is to find the life that doesn't end.
Living in cities is an art, and we need the vocabulary of art, of style, to describe the peculiar relationship between man and material that exists in the continual creative play of urban living. The city as we imagine it, then, soft city of illusion, myth, aspiration, and nightmare, is as real, maybe more real, than the hard city one can locate on maps in statistics, in monographs on urban sociology and demography and architecture.
Raban, Jonathan
The difference between life and the movies is that a script has to make sense, and life doesn't.
Mankiewicz, Joseph L.
It is not the years in your life but the life in your years that counts!
Stevenson, Adlai E.
Even when I'm sick and depressed, I love life.
Rubinstein, Arthur
One of the most appalling comments on our present way of life is that half of all the beds in our hospitals are reserved for patients with nervous and mental troubles, patients who have collapsed under the crushing burden of accumulated yesterdays and fearful tomorrows. Yet a vast majority of those people would be walking the streets today, leading happy, useful lives, if they had only heeded the words of Jesus: Have no anxiety about the morrow; or the words of Sir William Osler; Live in day-tight compartments.
Carnegie, Dale
People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I think that what we're really seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our innermost being and reality, so that we can actually feel the rapture of being alive.
Campbell, Joseph
When I consider life, it is all a cheat. Yet fooled with hope, people favor this deceit.
Dryden, John
All things atrocious and shameless flock from all parts to Rome.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
Life's but a day at most.
Burns, George
Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law.
Kant, Immanuel
So live with men as if God saw you and speak to God, as if men heard you.
Seneca
Best to live lightly, unthinkingly.
Sophocles
He lives who dies to win a lasting name.
Drummond, Henry
People do not live nowadays. They get about 10% out of life.
Duncan, Isadora
Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum.
Holmes Jr., Oliver Wendell
