Motivational Quotes

Life

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
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum.
Holmes Jr., Oliver Wendell

2.
The world's mine oyster, which I with sword will open.
William Shakespeare

3.
Life must be lived forward, but can only be understood backwards.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

4.
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

5.
The city as a center where, any day in any year, there may be a fresh encounter with a new talent, a keen mind or a gifted specialist -- this is essential to the life of a country. To play this role in our lives a city must have a soul -- a university, a great art or music school, a cathedral or a great mosque or temple, a great laboratory or scientific center, as well as the libraries and museums and galleries that bring past and present together. A city must be a place where groups of women and men are seeking and developing the highest things they know.
Mead, Margaret

6.
Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.
William Shakespeare

7.
Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act.
Truman Capote

8.
Plunge boldly into the thick of life, and seize it where you will, it is always interesting.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

9.
Life It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury; signifying nothing.
Shakespeare, William

10.
We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.
Sir Winston Churchill

11.
People creep into childhood, bound into youth, sober in adulthood, and soften into old age.
Giles, Henry

12.
Life is like eating artichokes, you have got to go through so much to get so little.
Dorgan, Thomas A.

13.
There is only one way to come into this world; there are too many ways to leave it.
Harington, Donald

14.
The tragedy of life is not that a man loses, but that he almost wins.
Broun, Heywood

15.
Life is a great surprise. I don't see why death should not be an even greater one.
Nabokov, Vladimir

16.
It doesn't matter much where you live. It only matters how well you live when you're there

17.
It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it is one damn thing over and over.
Edna St. Vincent Millay

18.
In the early days of the Indian Territory, there were no such things as birth certificates. You being there was certificate enough.
Rogers, Will

19.
The crime problem in New York is getting really serious. The other day the Statue of Liberty had both hands up.
Leno, Jay

20.
What should I say about life? That it's long and abhors transparence.
Brodsky, Joseph

21.
The measure of a life, after all, is not its duration, but its donation.
Boom, Corrie Ten

22.
This is it. There are no hidden meanings. All that mystical stuff is just what's so.
Erhard, Werner

23.
Life's enchanted cup sparkles near the brim.
Byron, Lord

24.
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

25.
Life is the only art that we are required to practice without preparation, and without being allowed the preliminary trials, the failures and botches, that are essential for training.
Mumford, Lewis

26.
Life is something you do when you can't get to sleep.
Lebowitz, Fran

27.
There are chapters in every life which are seldom read and certainly not aloud.
Shields, Carol

28.
What is a city, but the people; true the people are the city.
Coriolanus III

29.
Prepare for death, if here at night you roam, and sign your will before you sup from home.
Johnson, Samuel

30.
Towns oftener swamp one than carry one out onto the big ocean of life.
Lawrence, D. H.

31.
Can't nothing make your life work if you ain't the architect.
McMillan, Terry

32.
The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.
Ben Stein

33.
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

34.
Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me.
Schweitzer, Albert

35.
The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things
Rilke, Rainer Maria

36.
In making a living today, many no longer leave room for life.
Sizoo, Joseph R.

37.
Life is an onion and one cries while peeling it.
Proverb, French

38.
Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
Shaw, George Bernard

39.
Nothing can be meaner than the anxiety to live on, to live on anyhow and in any shape; a spirit with any honor is not willing to live except in its own way, and a spirit with any wisdom is not over-eager to live at all.
Santayana, George

40.
The joy of life consists in the exercise of one's energies, continual growth, constant change, the enjoyment of every new experience. To stop means simply to die. The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal.
Crowley, Aleister

41.
Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law.
Kant, Immanuel

42.
May God bless you to live as long as you want to; and want to as long as you live!
Proverb, Scottish

43.
Feelings are really your GPS system for life. When your supposed to do something, or not supposed to do something, your emotional guidance system lets you know.
Oprah Winfrey

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

45.
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

46.
We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let us now commit it to life.
Markham, Edwin

47.
We live everything as it comes, without warning, like an actor going on cold. And what can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself? That is why life is always a sketch. No sketch is not quite the right word, because a sketch is an outline of something, the groundwork for a picture, whereas the sketch that is our life is a sketch of nothing, an outline with no picture.
Kundera, Milan

48.
A man's life is 20 years of having his mother ask him where he is going, 40 years of having his wife ask the same question and, at the end, perhaps having the mourners wondering too.

49.
The best things in life are never rationed. Friendship, loyalty, and love. They do not require coupons.
Hewitt, George T.

50.
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
