Life

Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are travelling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind.
- Amiel, Henri Frederic
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
Dare to err and to dream. Deep meaning often lies in childish plays.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

2.
There are four things every person has more of than they know; sins, debt, years, and foes.
Proverb, Persian

3.
Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.
Thoreau, Henry David

4.
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

5.
The average person living to age 70 has 613, 000 hours of life. This is too long a period not to have fun.

6.
Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.
Mille, Agnes De

7.
Life is a flower of which love is the honey.
Hugo, Victor

8.
Is this not the true romantic feeling; not to desire to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping you.
Wolfe, Thomas

9.
It is in the thirties that we want friends. In the forties we know they won't save us any more than love did.

10.
Man alone is born crying, lives complaining, and dies disappointed.
Temple, Sir William

11.
Don't be afraid of death so much as an inadequate life.
Brecht, Bertolt

12.
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

13.
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

14.
Only to the extent that someone is living out this self transcendence of human existence, is he truly human or does he become his true self. He becomes so, not by concerning himself with his self's actualization, but by forgetting himself and giving himself, overlooking himself and focusing outward.
Frankl, Viktor E.

15.
There are chapters in every life which are seldom read and certainly not aloud.
Shields, Carol

16.
Life is an onion and one cries while peeling it.
Proverb, French

17.
In Washington, the first thing people tell you is what their job is. In Los Angeles you learn their star sign. In Houston you're told how rich they are. And in New York they tell you what their rent is.
Hoggart, Simon

18.
Life is like a cash register, in that every account, every thought, every deed, like every sale, is registered and recorded.
Sheen, Fulton John

19.
Life comes from physical survival; but the good life comes from what we care about.
May, Rollo

20.
Living is like working out a long addition sum, and if you make a mistake in the first two totals you will never find the right answer. It means involving oneself in a complicated chain of circumstances.
Pavese, Cesare

21.
One has not great hopes from Birmingham. I always say there is something direful in the sound.
Austen, Jane

22.
Live as you would have wished to live when you come to die.
Gellert

23.
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

24.
Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!
Gauguin, Paul

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

26.
Live, let live, and help live
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

27.
Refrain from asking what going to happen tomorrow, and everyday that fortune grants you, count as gain.
Horace

28.
Life, we learn too late, is in the living, the tissue of every day and hour.
Leacock, Stephen B.

29.
The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.
Mumford, Lewis

30.
To live is to go on a journey; to die is to come back home.

31.
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

32.
Life -- how curious is that habit that makes us think it is not here, but elsewhere.
Pritchett, V. S.

33.
Life is not so bad if you have plenty of luck, a good physique and not too much imagination
Isherwood, Christopher

34.
New York, the nation's thyroid gland.
Morley, Christopher

35.
Life is not one thing after another. It's the same damn thing over and over!

36.
People creep into childhood, bound into youth, sober in adulthood, and soften into old age.
Giles, Henry

37.
Life is a thing that mutates without warning, not always in enviable ways. All part of the improbable adventure of being alive, of being a brainy biped with giant dreams on a crazy blue planet.
Diane Ackerman

38.
Life may not be beautiful, but it is interesting.
Seeley, Sir John Robert

39.
Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.
Rexford, Eben Eugene

40.
We would like to live as we once lived, but history will not permit it.
Kennedy, John F.

41.
It is not length of life, but depth of life.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

42.
Do not take life too seriously; you will never get out of it alive.
Hubbard, Elbert

43.
Taken in any context, except seriously, life on earth is palatable and positively enjoyable.

44.
Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans.
Lennon, John

45.
Life does not consist mainly, or even largely, of facts and happenings. It consists mainly of the storm of thought that is forever flowing through one's head.
Twain, Mark

46.
Real life seems to have no plots.
Burnett, Ivy Compton

47.
Is life worth living? It all depends on the liver.
James, William

48.
There is a time of life somewhere between the sullen fugues of adolescence and the retrenchments of middle age when human nature becomes so absolutely absorbing one wants to be in the city constantly, even at the height of summer.
Hoagland, Edward

49.
Life is essentially a cheat and its conditions are those of defeat... the redeeming things are not happiness and pleasure but the deeper satisfactions that come out of struggle.

50.
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
