A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one.
- Aristotle
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.
Roosevelt, Eleanor

2.
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

3.
The cities of America are inexpressibly tedious. The Bostonians take their learning too sadly; culture with them is an accomplishment rather than an atmosphere; their Hub, as they call it, is the paradise of prigs. Chicago is a sort of monster-shop, full of bustles and bores. Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry. Baltimore is amusing for a week, but Philadelphia is dreadfully provincial; and though one can dine in New York one could not dwell there.
Wilde, Oscar

4.
The difference between life and the movies is that a script has to make sense, and life doesn't.
Mankiewicz, Joseph L.

5.
Life is real! Life is earnest! And death is not its goal. Dust thou art, to dust returneth, was not spoken of the soul.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

6.
Every time I look into the eyes of an animal I see life; the force of life and the beauty of creation
O'Reilly, Radar

7.
Lord, how the day passes! It is like a life, so quickly when we don't watch it, and so slowly if we do.
Steinbeck, John

8.
The three great essentials to achieve anything worth while are: Hard work, Stick-to-itiveness, and Common sense.
Edison, Thomas A.

9.
People should always have something which they prefer to life.
Seume, Johann G.

10.
Today, you have 100% of your life left.
Hopkins, Tom

11.
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

12.
Life is like one big Mardi Gras. But instead of showing your boobs, show people your brain, and if they like what they'll, you'll have more beads than you know what to do with.
Ellen DeGeneres

13.
One should not confuse the craving for life with endorsement of it.
Canetti, Elias

14.
There is one thing that matters -- to set a chime of words tinkling in the minds of a few fastidious people.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

15.
Where the criminals cover their crimes by making them legal. [On Washington D. C.]
Dane, Frank

16.
I have done my fiddling so long under Vesuvius that I have almost forgotten to play, and can only wait for the eruption and think it long of coming. Literally no man has more wholly outlived life than I. And still it's good fun.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

17.
Life is not so bad if you have plenty of luck, a good physique and not too much imagination
Isherwood, Christopher

18.
Some people seem to go through life standing at the complaint counter.
Propp Jr., Fred

19.
Every perfect life is a parable invented by God.
Weil, Simone

20.
Your life is what your thoughts make it.
Aurelius, Marcus

21.
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

22.
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

23.
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

24.
Life is not one thing after another. It's the same damn thing over and over!

25.
On the whole, I am on the side of the unregenerate who affirms the worth of life as an end in itself, as against the saints who deny it.
Holmes Jr., Oliver Wendell

26.
So in all these little ways we spin a web, a cocoon, around ourselves. The cocoon becomes nice and snug and comfortable because it is very familiar. We know every little corner of our life; we can even write poetry about it. We may also have ideas about the great mystery which religions speak of, which gives our cocoon an especial sense of security: we can worship the great mystery outside of it and feel good about that. The cocoon is safe, bounded, claustrophobic, and a little stale. We settle into it and live our lives.
Hayward, Jeremy W.

27.
How could drops of water know themselves to be a river? Yet the river flows on.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

28.
Man's course begins in a garden, but it ends in a city.
Maclaren, Alexander

29.
Life is but a game and we are the playthings of the gods.

30.
The enjoyments of this life are not equal to its evils.
Pliny The Elder

31.
Maxim for life: You get treated in life the way you teach people to treat you.
Dyer, Wayne

32.
When I consider life, it is all a cheat. Yet fooled with hope, people favor this deceit.
Dryden, John

33.
We will neglect our cities to our peril, for in neglecting them we neglect the nation.
Kennedy, John F.

34.
The faces in New York remind me of people who played a game and lost.
Kempton, Murray

35.
There is no quiet place in the white man's cities. No place to hear the unfurling of leaves in spring, or the rustle of an insect's wings. But perhaps it is because I am a savage and do not understand. The clatter only seems to insult the ears.
Seattle, Chief

36.
A city is a place where there is no need to wait for next week to get the answer to a question, to taste the food of any country, to find new voices to listen to and familiar ones to listen to again.
Mead, Margaret

37.
Life at the top is financially rewarding, spiritually draining, physically exhausting, and short.
Newman, Peter C.

38.
It is a good thing that life is not as serious as it seems to a waiter.
Herold, Don

39.
It is not reason which is the guide of life, but custom.
Hume, David

40.
Optimism and humor are the grease and glue of life. Without both of them we would never have survived our captivity.
Butler, Philip

41.
The four stages of life are infancy, childhood, adolescence, and obsolescence.
Linkletter, Art

42.
Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

43.
Eternal truths will be neither true nor eternal unless they have fresh meaning for every new social situation.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

44.
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

45.
City life is millions of people being lonesome together.
Thoreau, Henry David

46.
The City attaches an exaggerated importance to the healing power of lunch.
Fieldes, Christopher

47.
What is a city, but the people; true the people are the city.
Coriolanus III

48.
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

49.
I'm impressed with the people from Chicago. Hollywood is hype, New York is talk, Chicago is work.
Douglas, Michael

50.
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
