Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
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

2.
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

3.
In place of a world, there is a city, a point, in which the whole life of broad regions is collecting while the rest dries up. In place of a type-true people, born of and grown on the soil, there is a new sort of nomad, cohering unstably in fluid masses, the parasitical city dweller, traditionless, utterly matter-of-fact, religionless, clever, unfruitful, deeply contemptuous of the countryman and especially that highest form of countryman, the country gentleman.
Spengler, Oswald

4.
Life is a gamble at terrible odds, if it were a bet, you would not take it.
Stoppard, Tom

5.
Life is like playing the violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
Butler, Samuel

6.
The art of living is more like that of wrestling than of dancing; the main thing is to stand firm and be ready for an unseen attack.
Aurelius, Marcus

7.
Best to live lightly, unthinkingly.
Sophocles

8.
Much violence is based on the illusion that life is a property to be defended and not to be shared.
Nouwen, Henri

9.
Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act.
Truman Capote

10.
The world is not to be put in order; the world is order, incarnate. It is for us to harmonize with this order.
Miller, Henry

11.
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
Woody Allen

12.
In between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed.
Caesar, Sid

13.
Can't nothing make your life work if you ain't the architect.
McMillan, Terry

14.
This tattered life is my only robe; the wind my only refuge.
Mountain, Marian

15.
Some people seem to go through life standing at the complaint counter.
Propp Jr., Fred

16.
Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum.
Holmes Jr., Oliver Wendell

17.
Life is at its best when it's shaken and stirred.
Facult, F. Paul

18.
Those who talk on the razor-edge of double-meanings pluck the rarest blooms from the precipice on either side.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

19.
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

20.
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

21.
Life is a great surprise. I don't see why death should not be an even greater one.
Nabokov, Vladimir

22.
Life is a dead-end street.
Mencken, H. L.

23.
I once spent a year in Philadelphia, I think it was on a Sunday.
Fields, W. C.

24.
Life's enchanted cup sparkles near the brim.
Byron, Lord

25.
Life is a glass given to us to fill; a busy life is filling it with as much as it can hold; a hurried life has had more poured into it than it can contain.
Brown, William Adams

26.
Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.
Frankl, Viktor E.

27.
A life is like a tree -- if you don't make it straight when its young and green, you'll never do it when it's old and dry.

28.
We have penetrated far less deeply into the regularities obtaining within the realm of living things, but deeply enough nevertheless to sense at least the rule of fixed necessity... what is still lacking here is a grasp of the connections of profound generality, but not a knowledge of order itself.
Einstein, Albert

29.
The three great essentials to achieve anything worth while are: Hard work, Stick-to-itiveness, and Common sense.
Edison, Thomas A.

30.
Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.
Isaac Asimov

31.
A neighborhood is a residential area that is changing for the worse.
Ciardi, John

32.
Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.
Camus, Albert

33.
You have to do what you love to do, not get stuck in that comfort zone of a regular job. Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it.
Basset, Lucinda

34.
A life of ease is a difficult pursuit.
Cowper, William

35.
Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans.
Lennon, John

36.
Live virtuously, and you cannot not die too soon, or live too long.
Russell, Lady R.

37.
Life is a reciprocal exchange. To move forward, you have to give back.
Oprah Winfrey

38.
I should have no objection to go over the same life from its beginning to the end: requesting only the advantage authors have, of correcting in a second edition the faults of the first.
Franklin, Benjamin

39.
If I shall sell both my forenoons and afternoons to society, as most appear to do, I'm sure that, for me, there would be nothing left worth living for.
Thoreau, Henry David

40.
All of life is a foreign country.
Kerouac, Jack

41.
Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.
Hemingway, Ernest

42.
Life is an offensive, directed against the repetitious mechanism of the Universe.
Whitehead, Alfred North

43.
The difference between life and the movies is that a script has to make sense, and life doesn't.
Mankiewicz, Joseph L.

44.
The Metropolis should have been aborted long before it became New York, London or Tokyo.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

45.
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

46.
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

47.
It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it's one damn thing over and over.

Wolfe, Thomas
