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.
- Thoreau, Henry David
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
To live is to go on a journey; to die is to come back home.

2.
The real being, with no status, is always going in and out through the doors of your face.
Lin-Chi

3.
Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward.
Kierkegaard, S°ren

4.
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

5.
We quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the brim -- objects press around us, filling the mind with the throng of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.
Wilde, Oscar

6.
We are born crying, live complaining, and die disappointed.
Fuller, Thomas

7.
Accept life, take it as it is? Stupid. The means of doing otherwise? Far from our having to take it, it is life that possesses us and on occasion shuts our mouths.
Camus, Albert

8.
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)

9.
Do not take life too seriously; you will never get out of it alive.
Hubbard, Elbert

10.
The purpose of life is the expansion of happiness.
Yogi, Maharishi Mahesh

11.
One should not confuse the craving for life with endorsement of it.
Canetti, Elias

12.
Cities force growth and make people talkative and entertaining, but they also make them artificial.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

13.
The city is recruited from the country.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

14.
Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end.
Woolf, Virginia

15.
The first thing that strikes a visitor to Paris is a taxi.
Allen, Fred A.

16.
Real life seems to have no plots.
Burnett, Ivy Compton

17.
Life is an onion and one cries while peeling it.
Proverb, French

18.
There are a number of things wrong with Washington. One of them is that everyone is too far from home.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

19.
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.

20.
Life's but a day at most.
Burns, George

21.
Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.
Miller, Henry

22.
Life is supposed to get tough.
Grammer, Kelsey

23.
Life isn't fair. It's just fairer than death, that's all.
William Goldman

24.
It is vanity to desire a long life and to take no heed of a good life.
Kempis, Thomas

25.
Life is filigree work. What is written clearly is not worth much, it's the transparency that counts.
Celine, Louis-Ferdinand

26.
What is important in life is life, and not the result of life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

27.
Life is not always not always what one wants it to be., but to make the best of it as it is the only way of being happy.
Churchill, Jennie Jerome

28.
Life is just a mirror, and what you see out there, you must first see inside of you.
Wally'Famous'Amos

29.
Life is just a bowl of pits.
Rodney Dangerfield

30.
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.

31.
Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be.
Moses, Grandma

32.
We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let us now commit it to life.
Markham, Edwin

33.
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

34.
There is more sophistication and less sense in New York than anywhere else on the globe.
Herold, Don

35.
This is a world of action, and not for moping and droning in.
Dickens, Charles

36.
Only to the extent that someone is living out this self transcendence of human existence, is he truly human or does he become his true self. He becomes so, not by concerning himself with his self's actualization, but by forgetting himself and giving himself, overlooking himself and focusing outward.
Frankl, Viktor E.

37.
Every true man, sir, who is a little above the level of the beasts and plants does not live for the sake of living, without knowing how to live; but he lives so as to give a meaning and a value of his own to life.
Pirandello, Luigi

38.
The essence of life is finding something you really love and then making the daily experience worthwhile.
Waitley, Denis

39.
Life is a comedy for those who think... and a tragedy for those who feel.
Walpole, Horace

40.
The person lives twice who lives the first life well.
Herrick, Robert

41.
The art of living lies not in eliminating but in growing with troubles.
Baruch, Bernard M.

42.
Life is a campaign not a battle, and has its defeats as well as its victories.
Piatt, Don

43.
Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith.
Steve Jobs

44.
A life is like a tree -- if you don't make it straight when its young and green, you'll never do it when it's old and dry.

45.
The tragedy of life is not so much what men suffer, but rather what they miss.
Carlyle, Thomas

46.
It is in the thirties that we want friends. In the forties we know they won't save us any more than love did.

47.
Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
Shaw, George Bernard

48.
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

49.
Prepare for death, if here at night you roam, and sign your will before you sup from home.
