Life

Optimism and humor are the grease and glue of life. Without both of them we would never have survived our captivity.
- Butler, Philip
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
Life is not a spectacle or a feast; it is a predicament.
Santayana, George

2.
Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.
Rexford, Eben Eugene

3.
Most people think life sucks, and then you die. Not me. I beg to differ. I think life sucks, then you get cancer, then your dog dies, your wife leaves you, the cancer goes into remission, you get a new dog, you get remarried, you owe ten million dollars in medical bills but you work hard for thirty-five years and you pay it back and then -- one day -- you have a massive stroke, your whole right side is paralyzed, you have to limp along the streets and speak out of the left side of your mouth and drool but you go into rehabilitation and regain the power to walk and the power to talk and then -- one day -- you step off a curb at Sixty-seventh Street, and BANG you get hit by a city bus and then you die. Maybe.
Leary, Denis

4.
It is very certain that the desire of life prolongs it.
Byron, Lord

5.
If I had been present at creation, I would have given some useful hints.
Wise, Alfonso The

6.
Live virtuously, and you cannot not die too soon, or live too long.
Russell, Lady R.

7.
The only reason they come to see me is that I know that life is great -- and they know I know it.
Gable, Clark

8.
Life is very interesting if you make mistakes.
Carpentier, Georges

9.
Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
Curie, Madame Marie

10.
Make your life a happy one. That is where success is possible to every man.
Powell, Robert

11.
Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one's will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to apply them.
Gauguin, Paul

12.
Life is really about a spiritual unfolding that is personal and enchanting -- an unfolding that no science or philosophy or religion has yet fully clarified.
Redfield, James

13.
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

14.
Life is not one thing after another. It's the same damn thing over and over!

15.
To live lightheartedly but not recklessly; to be gay without being boisterous; to be courageous without being bold; to show trust and cheerful resignation without fatalism -- this is the art of living.
La Fontaine, Jean De

16.
Life is a flower of which love is the honey.
Hugo, Victor

17.
Our life's journey of self-discovery is not a straight-line rise from one level of consciousness to another. Instead, it is a series of steep climbs and flat plateaus, then further climbs. Even though we all approach the journey from different directions, certain of the journey's characteristics are common to all of us.
Wilde, Stuart

18.
Youth is too tumultuous for felicity; old age too insecure for happiness. The period most favorable to enjoyment, in a vigorous, fortunate, and generous life, is that between forty and sixty.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

19.
What life means to us is determined, not so much by what life brings to us as by the attitude we bring to life; not so much by what happens to us as by our reaction to what happens.
Dunnington, Lewis L

20.
We come into this world head first and go out feet first; in between, it is all a matter of balance.
Boese, Paul

21.
Life in the Fast Lane Playing in Traffic intense stressful challenging overwhelming fulfilling demanding exciting nerve-wrecking entrepreneurial unrelenting empowered exposed: no place to hide flexible confusing results compensation sweatshop team ascendancy ego suppression flat organizations who's my boss no titles no status customer focus self-abnegation decentralized decision making chaos the end of tenure the end of security no complacency fear ongoing change burnout

22.
Life must be lived forward, but can only be understood backwards.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

23.
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo

24.
Perhaps life is just that... a dream and a fear.
Conrad, Joseph

25.
We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let us now commit it to life.
Markham, Edwin

26.
Life is a wilderness of twists and turns, where faith is your only compass.
Santaguida, Paul

27.
I found Rome brick, I left it marble.
Augustus, Caesar

28.
See everything, overlook a great deal, correct a little.
Pope John XXIII

29.
Life is like a cash register, in that every account, every thought, every deed, like every sale, is registered and recorded.
Sheen, Fulton John

30.
Those who talk on the razor-edge of double-meanings pluck the rarest blooms from the precipice on either side.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

31.
We never live, but we hope to live; and as we are always arranging to be happy, it must be that we never are so.
Pascal, Blaise

32.
The fact that life has no meaning is a reason to live --moreover, the only one.
Cioran, E. M.

33.
I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I have just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.
Ackerman, Diane

34.
No one knows when they are well off.
Punch

35.
Life too near paralyses art.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

36.
The essential conditions of everything you do must be choice, love, passion.
Boulanger, Nadia

37.
So live with men as if God saw you and speak to God, as if men heard you.
Seneca

38.
It is in the thirties that we want friends. In the forties we know they won't save us any more than love did.

39.
Living the truth in your heart without compromise brings kindness into the world. Attempts at kindness that compromise your heart cause only sadness.

40.
How could drops of water know themselves to be a river? Yet the river flows on.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

41.
Live as if everything you do will eventually be known.
Prather, Hugh

42.
On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.
Buddha

43.
As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means.
