Motivational Quotes

Life

Not to find one's way in a city may well be uninteresting and banal. It requires ignorance -- nothing more. But to lose oneself in a city -- as one loses oneself in a forest -- that calls for a quite different schooling. Then, signboard and street names, passers-by, roofs, kiosks, or bars must speak to the wanderer like a cracking twig under his feet in the forest.
- Benjamin, Walter
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
Not where I breathe, but where I love, I live; Not where I love, but where I am, I die.
Southey, Robert

2.
Today's city is the most vulnerable social structure ever conceived by man.
Oppenheimer, Martin

3.
Every morning I wake up saying, I'm still alive; a miracle. And so I keep on pushing.
Cousteau, Jacques

4.
Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

5.
The world's mine oyster, which I with sword will open.
William Shakespeare

6.
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

7.
There is more sophistication and less sense in New York than anywhere else on the globe.
Herold, Don

8.
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

9.
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

10.
Life is a foreign language; all men mispronounce it.
Christopher Morley

11.
Life is fickle; the fair man doesn't invariably win.
Mark Hodder

12.
This tattered life is my only robe; the wind my only refuge.
Mountain, Marian

13.
You can have peace of mind, improved health and an ever-increasing flow of energy. Life can be full of joy and satisfaction.
Peale, Norman Vincent

14.
You really haven't changed, you've just become more of yourself. That is really what were all trying to do: become more of ourselves.
Oprah Winfrey

15.
The aim of life is some way of living, as flexible and gentle as human nature; so that ambition may stoop to kindness, and philosophy to condor and humor. Neither prosperity nor empire nor heaven can be worth winning at the price of a virulent temper, bloody hands, an anguished spirit, and a vain hatred of the rest of the world.
Santayana, George

16.
Life has taught me that it is not for our faults that we are disliked and even hated, but for our qualities.
Berenson, Bernard

17.
You live in a deranged age, more deranged that usual, because in spite of great scientific and technological advances, man has not the faintest idea of who he is or what he is doing.
Percy, Walker

18.
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

19.
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

20.
Either these [unsaved] people are to be evangelized, or the leaven of communism and infidelity will assume such enormous proportions that it will break you in a reign of terror such as this country has never known.
Moody, Dwight L.

21.
Look to the future, because that is where you'll spend the rest of your life.
Burns, George

22.
The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences.
Roosevelt, Eleanor

23.
Life loves the liver of it.
Angelou, Maya

24.
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

25.
It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it is one damn thing over and over.
Edna St. Vincent Millay

26.
People should always have something which they prefer to life.
Seume, Johann G.

27.
Order your soul; reduce your wants; live in charity; associate in Christian community; obey the laws; trust in Providence.
Augustine, St.

28.
But look what we have built low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace. Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums. Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.
Jacobs, Jane

29.
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

30.
Life is not so bad if you have plenty of luck, a good physique and not too much imagination
Isherwood, Christopher

31.
He has not lived badly whose birth and death has been unnoticed by the world.
Horace

32.
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

33.
The crime problem in New York is getting really serious. The other day the Statue of Liberty had both hands up.
Leno, Jay

34.
Towns oftener swamp one than carry one out onto the big ocean of life.
Lawrence, D. H.

35.
Life at the top is financially rewarding, spiritually draining, physically exhausting, and short.
Newman, Peter C.

36.
Life is but a moment, death also is but another.
Schuller, Robert H.

37.
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life... I wanted to live so sturdily and so Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life... to drive life into a corner to know it by experience and be able to give an account of it in my next excursion.
Thoreau, Henry David

38.
We quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the brim -- objects press around us, filling the mind with the throng of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.
Wilde, Oscar

39.
The art of mastering life is the prerequisite for all further forms of expression, whether they are paintings, sculptures, tragedies, or musical compositions.
Klee, Paul

40.
Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!
Gauguin, Paul

41.
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

42.
We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from it.
Osler, Sir William

43.
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

44.
Life is like a box of chocolates: You never know what you're gonna get.
Movie, Forrest Gump

45.
There is only one way to get ready for immortality, and that is to love this life and live it as bravely and faithfully and cheerfully as we can.
Dyke, Henry Van

46.
Dare to err and to dream. Deep meaning often lies in childish plays.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

47.
Young people talk of what they are doing; old people of what they have done; and fools of what they have a mind to do.
Proverb

48.
I think we're here for each other.
Burnett, Carol

49.
The four stages of life are infancy, childhood, adolescence, and obsolescence.
Linkletter, Art

50.
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
