Best Quotes about Life
This life of separateness may be compared to a dream, a phantasm, a bubble, a shadow, a drop of dew, a flash of lightning.
Buddha
The search is what anyone would undertake if he were not sunk in the everydayness of his own life. To become aware of the possibility of the search is to be onto something. Not to be onto something is to be in despair.
Percy, Walker
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
Life's splendor forever lies in wait about each one of us in all its fullness, but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come.
Kafka, Franz
Every perfect life is a parable invented by God.
Weil, Simone
To live fully is to let go and die with each passing moment, and to be reborn in each new one.
Kornfield, Jack
Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.
Robbins, Anthony
Who goes to Rome a beast returns a beast.
Proverb, Italian
The goal of life is living in agreement with nature.
Zeno
This is what you shall do: love the earth and sun, and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence towards the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or to any man or number of men; go freely with the powerful uneducated persons, and with the young, and mothers, of families: read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life: re-examine all you have been told at school or church, or in any books, and dismiss whatever insults your soul.
Whitman, Walt
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
Not by gain our life is measured, But by what we've lost 'Tis scored; 'Tis not how much wine is drunken But how much has been outpoured. For the strength of love never standeth In the sacrifice we bear; He who has the greatest suffering Ever has the most to share.
Nee, Watchman
It is not reason which is the guide of life, but custom.
Hume, David
Life was mostly made up of things you couldn't control, full of surprises, and they weren't always good. Life wasn't what you made it. You were what life made you.
Sara Zarr
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
If one had but a single glance to give the world, one should gaze on Istanbul.
Lamartine, Alphonse De
We are born crying, live complaining, and die disappointed.
Fuller, Thomas
Life is a great surprise. I don't see why death should not be an even greater one.
Nabokov, Vladimir
Life is a bridge. Cross over it, but build no house on it.
Proverb, Indian
Through this broad street, restless ever, ebbs and flows a human tide, wave on wave a living river; wealth and fashion side by side; Toiler, idler, slave and master, in the same quick current glide.
Whittier, John Greenleaf
If our life is unhappy it is painful to bear; if it is happy it is horrible to lose, So the one is pretty equal to the other.
La Bruyere, Jean De
I can't be bitter. No one has a contract on life.
Heath, David M.
Life is the only art that we are required to practice without preparation, and without being allowed the preliminary trials, the failures and botches, that are essential for training.
Mumford, Lewis
Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning.
Miller, Henry
We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.
Sir Winston Churchill
Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways.
Benet, Stephen Vincent
The Metropolis should have been aborted long before it became New York, London or Tokyo.
Galbraith, John Kenneth
Life is difficult and complicated and beyond anyone's total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.
J.K. Rowling
To attain inner peace you must actually give your life, not just your possessions. When you at last give your life -- bringing into alignment your beliefs and the way you live then, and only then, can you begin to find inner peace.
Pilgrim, Peace
The dream crossed twilight between birth and dying.
Eliot, T. S.
Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.
Thoreau, Henry David
There is more sophistication and less sense in New York than anywhere else on the globe.
Herold, Don
Life is but a moment, death also is but another.
Schuller, Robert H.
In the morning of life, work; in the mid day give council; in the evening, pray.
Proverb, German
Life is a thing that mutates without warning, not always in enviable ways. All part of the improbable adventure of being alive, of being a brainy biped with giant dreams on a crazy blue planet.
Diane Ackerman
Life without meaning cannot be borne. We find a mission to which we're sworn
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
Life is like Sanskrit read to a pony.
Reed, Lou
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
All things may be bought in Rome with money.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
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
We are in danger of making our cities places where business goes on but where life, in its real sense, is lost.
Humphrey, Hubert H.
The essence of life is finding something you really love and then making the daily experience worthwhile.
Waitley, Denis
The world has so many lessons to teach you. I consider the world, our earth, to be like a school, and our life, the classrooms. Sometimes on our planet life school, the lessons often come dressed up as detours and road blocks and sometimes as full blown crises. And the secret I've learned to getting ahead is being open to the lessons.
Oprah Winfrey
City life is millions of people being lonesome together.
Thoreau, Henry David
The measure of a life, after all, is not its duration, but its donation.
Boom, Corrie Ten
Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.
Robbins, Anthony
People do not live nowadays. They get about 10% out of life.
Duncan, Isadora
Life is an unbroken succession of false situations.
Thornton Wilder
Not only is life a bitch, but it is always having puppies.
Gusoff, Adrienne
