Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
Order your soul; reduce your wants; live in charity; associate in Christian community; obey the laws; trust in Providence.
Augustine, St.

2.
Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, and small obligations given habitually, are what preserve the heart and secure comfort.
Davy, Sir Humphrey

3.
Life isn't like a book. Life isn't logical or sensible or orderly. Life is a mess most of the time. And theology must be lived in the midst of that mess.
Colton, Charles Caleb

4.
Remember, a dead fish can float downstream, but it takes a live one to swim upstream.
Fields, W. C.

5.
Life can be pulled by goals just as surely as it can be pushed by drives.
Frankl, Viktor E.

6.
We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking. In that race which daily hastens us towards death, the body maintains its irreparable lead.
Camus, Albert

7.
Two babies were born on the same day at the same hospital. They lay there and looked at each other. Their families came and took them away. Eighty years later, by a bizarre coincidence, they lay in the same hospital, on their deathbeds, next to each other. One of them looked at the other and said,so. What did you think?
Wright, Steven

8.
Life is an unbroken succession of false situations.
Thornton Wilder

9.
Life is a comedy for those who think... and a tragedy for those who feel.
Walpole, Horace

10.
You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.
Krishnamurti, Jiddu

11.
To live lightheartedly but not recklessly; to be gay without being boisterous; to be courageous without being bold; to show trust and cheerful resignation without fatalism -- this is the art of living.
La Fontaine, Jean De

12.
Life is a solitary cell whose walls are mirrors.
O'Neill, Eugene

13.
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

14.
Man alone is born crying, lives complaining, and dies disappointed.
Temple, Sir William

15.
The life of every person is like a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another.
Barrie, Sir James M.

16.
The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive.
Robert Heinlein

17.
For everything that lives is holy, life delights in life.
Blake, William

18.
The mountains, rivers, earth, grasses, trees, and forests are always emanating a subtle, precious light, day and night, always emanating a subtle, precious sound, demonstrating and expounding to all people the unsurpassed ultimate truth.
Yuan-Sou

19.
Can't nothing make your life work if you ain't the architect.
McMillan, Terry

20.
The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extra human architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish. At first glance, the rhythm may be confused with gaiety, but when you look more closely at the mechanism of social life and the painful slavery of both men and machines, you see that it is nothing but a kind of typical, empty anguish that makes even crime and gangs forgivable means of escape.
Lorca, Federico Garcia

21.
Life, an age to the miserable, and a moment to the happy.
Bacon, Francis

22.
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

23.
Life is an offensive, directed against the repetitious mechanism of the Universe.
Whitehead, Alfred North

24.
We are doomed to cling to a life even while we find it unendurable.
James, William

25.
Boston is a moral and intellectual nursery always busy applying first principles to trifles.
Santayana, George

26.
Your life is what your thoughts make it.
Aurelius, Marcus

27.
The cloud-capp'd towers,the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on; and our little life Is rounded with a sleep.
William Shakespeare

28.
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

29.
In the early days all I hoped was to make a living out of what I did best. But, since there's no real market for masturbation I had to fall back on my bass playing abilities.
Claypool, Les

30.
Life at the greatest and best is but a froward child, that must be humored and coaxed a little till it falls asleep, and then all the care is over.
Goldsmith, Oliver

31.
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

32.
May God bless you to live as long as you want to; and want to as long as you live!
Proverb, Scottish

33.
One recipe for a longer life; Never exceed the speed limit.

34.
An artist has no home in Europe except in Paris.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

35.
Life is fickle; the fair man doesn't invariably win.
Mark Hodder

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

37.
If you believed more in life you would fling yourself less to the moment.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

38.
May you live as long as you want and not want as long as you live.
Hanks, Tom

39.
Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act.
Truman Capote

40.
The sad souls of those who lived without blame and without praise.
Dante Alighieri

41.
Birth, copulation and death. That's all the facts when you come to the brass tacks.
Eliot, T. S.

42.
The force that through the green fuse drives the flower. Drives my green age that blasts the roots of trees is my destroyer.
Thomas, Dylan

43.
Much violence is based on the illusion that life is a property to be defended and not to be shared.
Nouwen, Henri

44.
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

45.
Not only is life a bitch, but it is always having puppies.
Gusoff, Adrienne

46.
Life is not so bad if you have plenty of luck, a good physique and not too much imagination
Isherwood, Christopher

47.
It is vanity to desire a long life and to take no heed of a good life.
Kempis, Thomas

48.
Perhaps life is just that... a dream and a fear.
Conrad, Joseph

49.
Live poor so you can die rich.

50.
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
