Best Quotes about Life

1.
It is in the thirties that we want friends. In the forties we know they won't save us any more than love did.

2.
Every morning I wake up saying, I'm still alive; a miracle. And so I keep on pushing.
Cousteau, Jacques

3.
Just as language has no longer anything in common with the thing it names, so the movements of most of the people who live in cities have lost their connection with the earth; they hang, as it were, in the air, hover in all directions, and find no place where they can settle.
Rilke, Rainer Maria

4.
It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it is one damn thing over and over.
Edna St. Vincent Millay

5.
The mountains, rivers, earth, grasses, trees, and forests are always emanating a subtle, precious light, day and night, always emanating a subtle, precious sound, demonstrating and expounding to all people the unsurpassed ultimate truth.
Yuan-Sou

6.
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, SĀ°ren

7.
Life may not be beautiful, but it is interesting.
Seeley, Sir John Robert

8.
Order your soul; reduce your wants; live in charity; associate in Christian community; obey the laws; trust in Providence.
Augustine, St.

9.
Half my life is an act of revision.
Irving, John

10.
Living the truth in your heart without compromise brings kindness into the world. Attempts at kindness that compromise your heart cause only sadness.

11.
She fights and vanquishes in me, and I live and breathe in her, and I have life and being.
Cervantes, Miguel De

12.
Life is just a mirror, and what you see out there, you must first see inside of you.
Wally'Famous'Amos

13.
Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, and small obligations given habitually, are what preserve the heart and secure comfort.
Davy, Sir Humphrey

14.
Life is not a spectacle or a feast; it is a predicament.
Santayana, George

15.
Life is not a dress rehearsal.
Tremain, Rose

16.
Only those live who do good.
Tolstoy, Count Leo

17.
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

18.
Deep down, no one really believes they have a right to live. But this death sentence generally stays tucked away, hidden beneath the difficulty of living. If that difficulty is removed from time to time, death is suddenly there, unintelligibly.
Baudrillard, Jean

19.
Life is something that happens when you can't get to sleep.
Fran Lebowitz

20.
It has always been difficult for Man to realize that his life is all an art. It has been more difficult to conceive it so than to act it so. For that is always how he has more or less acted it.
Ellis, Havelock

21.
Life at the top is financially rewarding, spiritually draining, physically exhausting, and short.
Newman, Peter C.

22.
We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from it.
Osler, Sir William

23.
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

24.
An artist has no home in Europe except in Paris.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

25.
The life of man is a journey; a journey that must be traveled, however bad the roads or the accommodation.
Goldsmith, Oliver

26.
I found Rome brick, I left it marble.
Augustus, Caesar

27.
It is advisable that a person know at least three things, where they are, where they are going, and what they had best do under the circumstances.
Ruskin, John

28.
Live as you would have wished to live when you come to die.
Gellert

29.
We do not look in our great cities for our best morality.
Austen, Jane

30.
The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.
Ben Stein

31.
In between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed.
Caesar, Sid

32.
The purpose of life is to fight maturity.
Dick Werthimer

33.
Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.
William Shakespeare

34.
Life must be lived and curiosity kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
Roosevelt, Eleanor

35.
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
Woody Allen

36.
Always take hold of things by the smooth handle.
Jefferson, Thomas

37.
You really haven't changed, you've just become more of yourself. That is really what were all trying to do: become more of ourselves.
Oprah Winfrey

38.
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

39.
Life is action and passion; therefore, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of the time, at peril of being judged not to have lived.
Holmes Jr., Oliver Wendell

40.
Life is a little gleam of time between two eternity s.
Carlyle, Thomas

41.
We will neglect our cities to our peril, for in neglecting them we neglect the nation.
Kennedy, John F.

42.
To live is not breathing it is action.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

43.
We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.
Sir Winston Churchill

44.
Life is something you do when you can't get to sleep.
Lebowitz, Fran

45.
Life never becomes a habit to me. It's always a marvel.
Mansfield, Katherine

46.
This is it. There are no hidden meanings. All that mystical stuff is just what's so.
Erhard, Werner

47.
The Metropolis should have been aborted long before it became New York, London or Tokyo.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

48.
The game of life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy.
Shinn, Florence Scovel

49.
If you believed more in life you would fling yourself less to the moment.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

50.
The chief function of the city is to convert power into form, energy into culture, dead matter into the living symbols of art, biological reproduction into social creativity.
Mumford, Lewis
