Life

Life is a series of collisions with the future; it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be.
- Gasset, Jose Ortega Y
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
Taken in any context, except seriously, life on earth is palatable and positively enjoyable.

2.
I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I have just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.
Ackerman, Diane

3.
May you live as long as you want and not want as long as you live.
Hanks, Tom

4.
The world is not to be put in order; the world is order, incarnate. It is for us to harmonize with this order.
Miller, Henry

5.
Life marches by, I suggest you get on with it.
Baluch, Joy

6.
Half my life is an act of revision.
Irving, John

7.
Life is like Sanskrit read to a pony.
Reed, Lou

8.
How could drops of water know themselves to be a river? Yet the river flows on.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

9.
Life is an earnest business, and no one every became good or great on a diet of broad grins.
Blackie, Professor

10.
Paris, a city of gaieties and pleasures, where four-fifths of the inhabitants die of grief. [About Paris]
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

11.
Cities force growth and make people talkative and entertaining, but they also make them artificial.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

12.
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

13.
Life begins when you get out of the grandstand into the game.
Debevoise, P. L.

14.
Life is a comedy for those who think... and a tragedy for those who feel.
Walpole, Horace

15.
Washington is a city of people doing badly what should not be done at all.
Gurney, Robert

16.
Everywhere one seeks to produce meaning, to make the world signify, to render it visible. We are not, however, in danger of lacking meaning; quite the contrary, we are gorged with meaning and it is killing us.
Baudrillard, Jean

17.
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

18.
What is life? A frenzy. What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a fiction. And the greatest good is trivial; for all life is a dream and all dreams are dreams.
Calderon de la Barca, Pedro

19.
In the early days of the Indian Territory, there were no such things as birth certificates. You being there was certificate enough.
Rogers, Will

20.
Live this day as if it will be your last. Remember that you will only find tomorrow on the calendars of fools. Forget yesterday's defeats and ignore the problems of tomorrow. This is it. Doomsday. All you have. Make it the best day of your year. The saddest words you can ever utter are, If I had my life to live over again. Take the baton, now. Run with it! This is your day! Beginning today, treat everyone you meet, friend or foe, loved one or stranger, as if they were going to be dead at midnight. Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.
Mandino, Og

21.
May God bless you to live as long as you want to; and want to as long as you live!
Proverb, Scottish

22.
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

23.
Live for those who love me, For those who know me true, For the Heaven that smiles above me, And awaits my coming too; For the cause that lacks resistance, For the future and the distance, And the good that I can do.

24.
Life is a continual process of remaking ourselves.

25.
Being is. Being is in-itself. Being is what it is.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

26.
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

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 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

29.
To look at the cross-section of any plan of a big city is to look at something like the section of a fibrous tumor.
Wright, Frank Lloyd

30.
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

31.
Difficulties come when you don't pay attention to life's whisper. Life always whispers to you first, but if you ignore the whisper, sooner or later you'll get a scream.
Oprah Winfrey

The screech and mechanical uproar of the big city turns the citified head, fills citified ears -- as the song of birds, wind in the trees, animal cries, or as the voices and songs of his loved ones once filled his heart. He is sidewalk-happy.
Wright, Frank Lloyd

38.
This is what is sad when one contemplates human life, that so many live out their lives in quiet lostness... they live, as it were, away from themselves and vanish like shadows. Their immortal souls are blown away, and they are not disquieted by the question of its immortality, because they are already disintegrated before they die.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

39.
Life too near paralyses art.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

40.
But look what we have built low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace. Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums. Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.
Jacobs, Jane

41.
He who is not busy being born is busy dying.
Dylan, Bob

42.
I should have no objection to go over the same life from its beginning to the end: requesting only the advantage authors have, of correcting in a second edition the faults of the first.
Franklin, Benjamin

43.
Your life is what your thoughts make it.
Aurelius, Marcus

44.
Towns are excrescences, gray fluxions, where men, hurrying to find one another, have lost themselves.
Forster, Edward M.

45.
I have an existential map; it has you are here written all over it.
Wright, Steven

46.
Be glad of life because it gives you a chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at stars.
Dyke, Henry Van

47.
So live with men as if God saw you and speak to God, as if men heard you.
Seneca

48.
The dream crossed twilight between birth and dying.
Eliot, T. S.

49.
People do not live nowadays. They get about 10% out of life.
Duncan, Isadora

50.
The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life.
Wright, Frank Lloyd
