Life

Nobody's journey is seamless or smooth. We all stumble. We all have setbacks. It's just life's way of saying, "Time to change course."
- Oprah Winfrey
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
In matters of self-control as we shall see again and again, speed kills. But a little friction really can save lives.
Daniel Akst

2.
Cities give us collision. 'Tis said, London and New York take the nonsense out of a man.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

3.
Life is a fatal complaint, and an eminently contagious one.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

4.
Life is an onion and one cries while peeling it.
Proverb, French

5.
We would like to live as we once lived, but history will not permit it.
Kennedy, John F.

6.
The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things
Rilke, Rainer Maria

7.
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

8.
Were it offered to my choice, I should have no objection to a repetition of the same life from its beginning, only asking the advantages authors have in a second edition to correct some faults in the first.
Franklin, Benjamin

9.
Dare to err and to dream. Deep meaning often lies in childish plays.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

10.
Live this day as if it will be your last. Remember that you will only find tomorrow on the calendars of fools. Forget yesterday's defeats and ignore the problems of tomorrow. This is it. Doomsday. All you have. Make it the best day of your year. The saddest words you can ever utter are, If I had my life to live over again. Take the baton, now. Run with it! This is your day! Beginning today, treat everyone you meet, friend or foe, loved one or stranger, as if they were going to be dead at midnight. Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.
Mandino, Og

11.
If one considered life as a simple loan, one would perhaps be less exacting. We possess actually nothing; everything goes through us.
Delacroix, Eugene

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

13.
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

14.
It doesn't matter much where you live. It only matters how well you live when you're there

15.
Is this not the true romantic feeling; not to desire to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping you.
Wolfe, Thomas

16.
Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.
Rexford, Eben Eugene

17.
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

18.
The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life.
Wright, Frank Lloyd

19.
Life's splendor forever lies in wait about each one of us in all its fullness, but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come.
Kafka, Franz

20.
City life is millions of people being lonesome together.
Thoreau, Henry David

21.
Anything for the quick life, as the man said when he took the situation at the lighthouse.
Dickens, Charles

22.
A great city, whose image dwells in the memory of man, is the type of some great idea. Rome represents conquest; Faith hovers over the towers of Jerusalem; and Athens embodies the pre-eminent quality of the antique world, Art.
Disraeli, Benjamin

23.
Any city however small, is in fact divided into two, one the city of the poor, the other of the rich. These are at war with one another.
Plato

24.
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

25.
The purpose of life is the expansion of happiness.
Yogi, Maharishi Mahesh

26.
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

27.
It's better to be an authentic loser than a false success, and to die alive than to live dead.
Markiewicz, William

28.
Life is a series of steps. Things are done gradually. Once in a while there is a giant step, but most of the time we are taking small, seemingly insignificant steps on the stairway of life.
Ransom, Ralph

29.
Those who talk on the razor-edge of double-meanings pluck the rarest blooms from the precipice on either side.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

30.
Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.
Brendan Gill

31.
Man is born to live and not to prepare to live.
Pasternak, Boris

32.
Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don't do that by sitting around.
Hepburn, Katharine

33.
The cities of America are inexpressibly tedious. The Bostonians take their learning too sadly; culture with them is an accomplishment rather than an atmosphere; their Hub, as they call it, is the paradise of prigs. Chicago is a sort of monster-shop, full of bustles and bores. Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry. Baltimore is amusing for a week, but Philadelphia is dreadfully provincial; and though one can dine in New York one could not dwell there.
Wilde, Oscar

34.
Life is a comedy for those who think... and a tragedy for those who feel.
Walpole, Horace

35.
Life was a funny thing that happened to me on the way to the grave.
Crisp, Quentin

36.
A city is a large community where people are lonesome together.
Prochnow, Herbert

37.
This is it. There are no hidden meanings. All that mystical stuff is just what's so.
Erhard, Werner

38.
Life is not always not always what one wants it to be., but to make the best of it as it is the only way of being happy.
Churchill, Jennie Jerome

39.
Life is a continual process of remaking ourselves.

40.
Life is full and overflowing with the new. But it is necessary to empty out the old to make room for the new to enter.
Caddy, Eileen

41.
One should not confuse the craving for life with endorsement of it.
Canetti, Elias

42.
I sit astride life like a bad rider on a horse. I only owe it to the horse's good nature that I am not thrown off at this very moment.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

43.
So live with men as if God saw you and speak to God, as if men heard you.
Seneca

44.
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

45.
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

46.
Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
John Lennon

47.
Maxim for life: You get treated in life the way you teach people to treat you.
Dyer, Wayne

48.
Each man must look to himself to teach him the meaning of life. It is not something discovered: it is something molded.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

49.
Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the Earth are never alone or weary of life.
Carson, Rachel

50.
Too often man handles life as he does the bad weather, He whiles away the time as he waits for it to stop.
Polgar, Alfred
