Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
Life loves the liver of it.
Angelou, Maya

2.
Life is like Sanskrit read to a pony.
Reed, Lou

3.
Life is a comedy for those who think... and a tragedy for those who feel.
Walpole, Horace

4.
Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.
Camus, Albert

5.
Life is something you do when you can't get to sleep.
Lebowitz, Fran

6.
Any city however small, is in fact divided into two, one the city of the poor, the other of the rich. These are at war with one another.
Plato

7.
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

8.
Life is something that happens when you can't get to sleep.
Fran Lebowitz

9.
Life is a great surprise. I don't see why death should not be an even greater one.
Nabokov, Vladimir

10.
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

11.
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.

12.
Birth, copulation and death. That's all the facts when you come to the brass tacks.
Eliot, T. S.

13.
Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.
Isaac Asimov

14.
The continuous invention of new ways of observing is man's special secret of living.
Young, J. Z.

15.
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

16.
Man values life as a sacred jewel in such a way that he reveres him most who haughtily scorns it.
Platen

17.
The life of man is a journey; a journey that must be traveled, however bad the roads or the accommodation.
Goldsmith, Oliver

18.
Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning.
Miller, Henry

19.
Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really merely commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the planning, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chain of events, working through generations and leading to the most outer results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.
Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan

20.
The faces in New York remind me of people who played a game and lost.
Kempton, Murray

21.
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

22.
Life can be pulled by goals just as surely as it can be pushed by drives.
Frankl, Viktor E.

23.
Give a man a dollar and you cheer his heart. Give him a dream and you challenge his heart. Give him Christ and you change his heart. Then the dollar and the dream become meaningful to him, and to others.
Strait, C. Neil

24.
The catalogue of forms is endless: until every shape has found its city, new cities will continue to be born. When the forms exhaust their variety and come apart, the end of cities begins.
Calvino, Italo

25.
It's not how long life is but the quality of our life that is important.
Dawson, Roger

26.
Life. A spiritual pickle preserving the body from decay.
Bierce, Ambrose

27.
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

28.
He that embarks on the voyage of life will always wish to advance rather by the impulse of the wind than the strokes of the oar; and many fold in their passage; while they lie waiting for the gale.
Johnson, Samuel

29.
Life was a funny thing that happened to me on the way to the grave.
Crisp, Quentin

30.
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

31.
Washington is an endless series of mock palaces clearly built for clerks.
Huxtable, Ada Louise

32.
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
Woody Allen

33.
The finest lives in my opinion are the common model, without miracle and without extravagance.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

34.
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

35.
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

36.
No city should be too large for a man to walk out of in a morning.
Connolly, Cyril

37.
All that man has will he give for his life.
Bible

38.
To find the point where hypothesis and fact meet; the delicate equilibrium between dream and reality; the place where fantasy and earthly things are metamorphosed into a work of art; the hour when faith in the future becomes knowledge of the past; to lay down one's power for others in need; to shake off the old ordeal and get ready for the new; to question, knowing that never can the full answer be found; to accept uncertainties quietly, even our incomplete knowledge of God; this is what man's journey is about, I think.
Smith, Lillian

39.
To live fully is to let go and die with each passing moment, and to be reborn in each new one.
Kornfield, Jack

40.
One belongs to New York instantly. One belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years.
Wolfe, Thomas

41.
A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one.
Aristotle

42.
We do not look in our great cities for our best morality.
Austen, Jane

43.
It is very certain that the desire of life prolongs it.
Byron, Lord

44.
Live today for tomorrow it will all be history.
Proverb

45.
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

46.
Life is just a journey
Diana, Princess of Wales

47.
The goal of life is living in agreement with nature.
Zeno

48.
Don't worry about your life; what you shall eat, or drink, or the clothing for your body. [Matthew 6:31]
Bible

49.
We are doomed to cling to a life even while we find it unendurable.
James, William

50.
Most people think life sucks, and then you die. Not me. I beg to differ. I think life sucks, then you get cancer, then your dog dies, your wife leaves you, the cancer goes into remission, you get a new dog, you get remarried, you owe ten million dollars in medical bills but you work hard for thirty-five years and you pay it back and then -- one day -- you have a massive stroke, your whole right side is paralyzed, you have to limp along the streets and speak out of the left side of your mouth and drool but you go into rehabilitation and regain the power to walk and the power to talk and then -- one day -- you step off a curb at Sixty-seventh Street, and BANG you get hit by a city bus and then you die. Maybe.
Leary, Denis
