Motivational Quotes

Life

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
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.

2.
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

3.
It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it's one damn thing over and over.
Millay, Edna St. Vincent

4.
Life is just a mirror, and what you see out there, you must first see inside of you.
Wally'Famous'Amos

5.
Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.
William Shakespeare

6.
The search is what anyone would undertake if he were not sunk in the everydayness of his own life. To become aware of the possibility of the search is to be onto something. Not to be onto something is to be in despair.
Percy, Walker

7.
Always take hold of things by the smooth handle.
Jefferson, Thomas

8.
There is no shortcut to life. To the end of our days, life is a lesson imperfectly learned.
Salisbury, Harrison

9.
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

10.
What a life! True life is elsewhere. We are not in the world.
Rimbaud, Arthur

11.
Life -- No, I've nothing to teach you about it for the moment. May be writing about it another week.
Forster, Edward M.

12.
Life isn't simple. But the beauty of it is, you can always start over. It'll get easier.
Alacia Bessette

13.
Life is always walking up to us and saying, 'Come on in, the living's fine,' and what do we do? Back off and take its picture.
Baker, Russell (Wayne)

14.
There are four things every person has more of than they know; sins, debt, years, and foes.
Proverb, Persian

15.
Life is a means of extracting fiction.
Stone, Robert

16.
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo

17.
One should not confuse the craving for life with endorsement of it.
Canetti, Elias

18.
If we make our goal to live a life of compassion and unconditional love, then the world will indeed become a garden where all kinds of flowers can bloom and grow.
KuBler-Ross, Elisabeth

19.
Life is a disease; and the only difference between one man and another is the stage of the disease at which he lives. You are always at the crisis: I am always in the convalescent stage.
Shaw, George Bernard

20.
Optimism and humor are the grease and glue of life. Without both of them we would never have survived our captivity.
Butler, Philip

21.
Life flows on within you and without you.
Harrison, George

22.
Live virtuously, and you cannot not die too soon, or live too long.
Russell, Lady R.

23.
Life is a dead-end street.
Mencken, H. L.

24.
Life in the twentieth century is like a parachute jump; you have to get it right the first time.
Mead, Margaret

25.
Life. A spiritual pickle preserving the body from decay.
Bierce, Ambrose

26.
Just as all thought, and primarily that of non-signification, signifies something, so there is no art that has no signification.
Camus, Albert

27.
This is what you shall do: love the earth and sun, and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence towards the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or to any man or number of men; go freely with the powerful uneducated persons, and with the young, and mothers, of families: read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life: re-examine all you have been told at school or church, or in any books, and dismiss whatever insults your soul.
Whitman, Walt

28.
Living is like working out a long addition sum, and if you make a mistake in the first two totals you will never find the right answer. It means involving oneself in a complicated chain of circumstances.
Pavese, Cesare

29.
Life is a state of mind.
Warden, Jack

30.
Challenging the meaning of life is the truest expression of the state of being human.
Frankl, Viktor E.

31.
Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end.
Woolf, Virginia

32.
May you live as long as you want and not want as long as you live.
Hanks, Tom

33.
If God exists and we are made in his image we can have real meaning, and we can have real knowledge through what he has communicated to us.
Schaeffer, Francis

34.
Cities force growth and make people talkative and entertaining, but they also make them artificial.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

35.
Birth, copulation and death. That's all the facts when you come to the brass tacks.
Eliot, T. S.

36.
My art and profession is to live.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

37.
The real being, with no status, is always going in and out through the doors of your face.
Lin-Chi

38.
Life is given for wisdom, and yet we are not wise; for goodness, and we are not good; for overcoming evil, and evil remains; for patience and sympathy and love, and yet we are fretful and hard and weak and selfish. We are keyed not to attainment, but to the struggle toward it.
Munger, Thornton T.

39.
I believe that life is a journey, often difficult and sometimes incredibly cruel, but we are well equipped for it if only we tap into our talents and gifts and allow them to blossom.
Brown, Les

40.
Life is indeed difficult, partly because of the real difficulties we must overcome in order to survive, and partly because of our own innate desire to always do better, to overcome new challenges, to self-actualize. Happiness is experienced largely in striving towards a goal, not in having attained things, because our nature is always to want to go on to the next endeavor.
Albert Ellis, Michael Abrams, Lidia Dengelegi

41.
When we speak the word life, it must be understood we are not referring to life as we know it from its surface of fact, but to that fragile, fluctuating center which forms never reach.
Artaud, Antonin

42.
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

43.
The simplification of life is one of the steps to inner peace. A persistent simplification will create an inner and outer well-being that places harmony in one's life.
Pilgrim, Peace

44.
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

45.
The enjoyments of this life are not equal to its evils.
Pliny The Elder

46.
All that man has will he give for his life.
Bible

47.
What is a city, but the people; true the people are the city.
Coriolanus III

48.
Life is just a bowl of pits.
Rodney Dangerfield

49.
The City attaches an exaggerated importance to the healing power of lunch.
Fieldes, Christopher

50.
Your life is what your thoughts make it.
Aurelius, Marcus
