Life

It's better to be an authentic loser than a false success, and to die alive than to live dead.
- Markiewicz, William
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
Life too near paralyses art.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

2.
Life is very interesting if you make mistakes.
Carpentier, Georges

3.
New York is not Mecca. It just smells like it.
Simon, Neil

4.
Who goes to Rome a beast returns a beast.
Proverb, Italian

5.
We live, not as we wish to, but as we can.
Menander of Athens

6.
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

7.
Life is a video game. No matter how good you get, you are always zapped in the end

8.
Life's but a day at most.
Burns, George

9.
When I consider life, it is all a cheat. Yet fooled with hope, people favor this deceit.
Dryden, John

10.
In childhood be modest, in youth temperate, in adulthood just, and in old age prudent.
Socrates

11.
Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things.
Clark, Frank A.

12.
If we make our goal to live a life of compassion and unconditional love, then the world will indeed become a garden where all kinds of flowers can bloom and grow.
KuBler-Ross, Elisabeth

13.
Life. A spiritual pickle preserving the body from decay.
Bierce, Ambrose

14.
Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.
William Shakespeare

15.
The slightest living thing answers a deeper need than all the works of man because it is transitory. It has an evanescence of life, or growth, or change: it passes, as we do, from one stage to the another, from darkness to darkness, into a distance where we, too, vanish out of sight. A work of art is static; and its value and its weakness lie in being so: but the tuft of grass and the clouds above it belong to our own travelling brotherhood.
Stark, Freya

16.
Life -- how curious is that habit that makes us think it is not here, but elsewhere.
Pritchett, V. S.

17.
Life is constantly providing us with new funds, new resources, even when we are reduced to immobility. In life's ledger there is no such thing as frozen assets.
Miller, Henry

18.
Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to apply them.
Gauguin, Paul

19.
There is no solitude in the world like that of the big city.
Norris, Kathleen

20.
In real life, however, you don't react to what someone did; you react only to what you think she did, and the gap between action and perception is bridged by the art of impression management. If life itself is but what you deem it, then why not focus your efforts on persuading others to believe that you are a virtuous and trustworthy cooperator?
Jonathan Haidt

21.
What I like about cities is that everything is king size, the beauty and the ugliness.
Brodsky, Joseph

22.
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

23.
Man wants to live, but it is useless to hope that this desire will dictate all his actions.
Camus, Albert

24.
We Japanese enjoy the small pleasures, not extravagance. I believe a man should have a simple lifestyle -- even if he can afford more.
Ibuka, Massaru

25.
Life -- No, I've nothing to teach you about it for the moment. May be writing about it another week.
Forster, Edward M.

26.
Life is not having been told that the man has just waxed the floor.
Nash, Ogden

27.
The simplification of life is one of the steps to inner peace. A persistent simplification will create an inner and outer well-being that places harmony in one's life.
Pilgrim, Peace

28.
When we exercise self-control on a given occasion, we win for ourselves a little credibility we can rely on the next time around. Pretty soon we develop a reputation to ourselves that we want badly to uphold. With each test that we meet, our resolve gains momentum, fueled by the fear that we may succumb and establish a damaging precedent for our own weakness.
Daniel Akst

29.
Perhaps life is just that... a dream and a fear.
Conrad, Joseph

30.
Life is something you do when you can't get to sleep.
Lebowitz, Fran

31.
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

32.
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

33.
Life was a funny thing that happened to me on the way to the grave.
Crisp, Quentin

34.
Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.
Camus, Albert

35.
The goal of life is living in agreement with nature.
Zeno

36.
Living Life Tomorrow's fate, though thou be wise, Thou canst not tell nor yet surmise; Pass, therefore, not today in vain, For it will never come again.
Khayyam, Omar

37.
Life It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury; signifying nothing.
Shakespeare, William

38.
All of life is a foreign country.
Kerouac, Jack

39.
If God exists and we are made in his image we can have real meaning, and we can have real knowledge through what he has communicated to us.
Schaeffer, Francis

40.
There are nine requisites for contented living: HEALTH enough to make work a pleasure; WEALTH enough to support your needs; STRENGTH enough to battle with difficulties and forsake them; GRACE enough to confess your sins and overcome them; PATIENCE enough to toil until some good is accomplished; CHARITY enough to see some good in your neighbor; LOVE enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others; FAITH enough to make real the things of God; HOPE enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

41.
Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.
William Shakespeare

42.
It's better to be an authentic loser than a false success, and to die alive than to live dead.
Markiewicz, William

43.
All great art is born of the metropolis.
Pound, Ezra

44.
My art and profession is to live.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

45.
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

46.
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

47.
A large city cannot be experientially known; its life is too manifold for any individual to be able to participate in it.
Huxley, Aldous

48.
Washington is an endless series of mock palaces clearly built for clerks.
Huxtable, Ada Louise

49.
Even when I'm sick and depressed, I love life.
Rubinstein, Arthur

50.
Life is a zoo in a jungle.
Peter De Vries
