Life

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



Best Quotes about Life

1.
We don't beat the Grim Reaper by living longer, we beat the Reaper by living well and living fully, for the Reaper will come for all of us. The question is what do we do between the time we are born and the time he shows up. It's too late to do all the things that you're gonna kinda get around to.
Randy Pausch

2.
The truest end of life, is to find the life that doesn't end.

3.
My life is a battle.
Voltaire

4.
Cities force growth and make people talkative and entertaining, but they also make them artificial.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

5.
Deep down, no one really believes they have a right to live. But this death sentence generally stays tucked away, hidden beneath the difficulty of living. If that difficulty is removed from time to time, death is suddenly there, unintelligibly.
Baudrillard, Jean

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

7.
Life is not a dress rehearsal.
Tremain, Rose

8.
Life is something that happens when you can't get to sleep.
Fran Lebowitz

9.
The only reason they come to see me is that I know that life is great -- and they know I know it.
Gable, Clark

10.
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

11.
The secret of a good life is to have the right loyalties and hold them in the right scale of values.
Norman Thomas

12.
Today, you have 100% of your life left.
Hopkins, Tom

13.
Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
Curie, Madame Marie

14.
Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding.
Lao-Tzu

15.
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

16.
Life is a classroom in which each of us is being tested, tried, and passed.
Thibodeau, Robert

17.
Life must be lived and curiosity kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
Roosevelt, Eleanor

18.
Nature has invented reproduction as a mechanism for life to move forward. As a life force that passes right through us and makes us a link in the evolution of life.
Louis Schwartzberg

19.
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

20.
Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning.
Miller, Henry

21.
Most of us fall short much more by omission than by commission. While the world perishes we go our way: purposeless, passionless, day after day.
Pilgrim, Peace

22.
Life is full of surprises and and serendipity. Being open to unexpected turns in the road is an important part of success. If you try to plan every step, you may miss those wonderful twists and turns. Just find your next adventure-do it well, enjoy it-and then, not now, think about what comes next.
Condoleeza Rice

23.
If I had been present at creation, I would have given some useful hints.
Wise, Alfonso The

24.
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

25.
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

26.
You don't get to choose how you're going to die, or when. You can decide how you're going to live now.
Baez, Joan

27.
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

28.
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- that myth is more potent than history. I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts -- That hope always triumphs over experience -- That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.
Fulghum, Robert

29.
Life's but a day at most.
Burns, George

30.
Look to the future, because that is where you'll spend the rest of your life.
Burns, George

31.
Life is an offensive, directed against the repetitious mechanism of the Universe.
Whitehead, Alfred North

32.
If our life is unhappy it is painful to bear; if it is happy it is horrible to lose, So the one is pretty equal to the other.
La Bruyere, Jean De

33.
Prepare for death, if here at night you roam, and sign your will before you sup from home.
Johnson, Samuel

34.
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

35.
Live today for tomorrow it will all be history.
Proverb

36.
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

37.
Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.
Miller, Henry

38.
Life is just a journey
Diana, Princess of Wales

39.
You are a little soul carrying around a corpse.
Epictetus

40.
Can't nothing make your life work if you ain't the architect.
McMillan, Terry

41.
Always take hold of things by the smooth handle.
Jefferson, Thomas

42.
Life is a series of little deaths out of which life always returns.
Feidelson, Charles

43.
Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law.
Kant, Immanuel

44.
Plunge boldly into the thick of life, and seize it where you will, it is always interesting.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

45.
To live is to go on a journey; to die is to come back home.

46.
Man values life as a sacred jewel in such a way that he reveres him most who haughtily scorns it.
Platen

47.
America is a nation with no truly national city, no Paris, no Rome, no London, no city which is at once the social center, the political capital, and the financial hub.
Mills, C. Wright

48.
Don't be afraid of death so much as an inadequate life.
Brecht, Bertolt

49.
I have an existential map; it has you are here written all over it.
Wright, Steven

50.
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
