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.
It is advisable that a person know at least three things, where they are, where they are going, and what they had best do under the circumstances.
Ruskin, John

2.
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

3.
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

4.
The cities of the world are concentric, isomorphic, synchronic. Only one exists and you are always in the same one. It's the effect of their permanent revolution, their intense circulation, their instantaneous magnetism.
Baudrillard, Jean

5.
We come into this world head first and go out feet first; in between, it is all a matter of balance.
Boese, Paul

6.
Every time I look into the eyes of an animal I see life; the force of life and the beauty of creation
O'Reilly, Radar

7.
Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.
Seneca

8.
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, S°ren

9.
Nature has invented reproduction as a mechanism for life to move forward. As a life force that passes right through us and makes us a link in the evolution of life.
Louis Schwartzberg

10.
I once spent a year in Philadelphia, I think it was on a Sunday.
Fields, W. C.

11.
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

12.
Challenging the meaning of life is the truest expression of the state of being human.
Frankl, Viktor E.

13.
The real being, with no status, is always going in and out through the doors of your face.
Lin-Chi

14.
The world has so many lessons to teach you. I consider the world, our earth, to be like a school, and our life, the classrooms. Sometimes on our planet life school, the lessons often come dressed up as detours and road blocks and sometimes as full blown crises. And the secret I've learned to getting ahead is being open to the lessons.
Oprah Winfrey

15.
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

16.
One of the most appalling comments on our present way of life is that half of all the beds in our hospitals are reserved for patients with nervous and mental troubles, patients who have collapsed under the crushing burden of accumulated yesterdays and fearful tomorrows. Yet a vast majority of those people would be walking the streets today, leading happy, useful lives, if they had only heeded the words of Jesus: Have no anxiety about the morrow; or the words of Sir William Osler; Live in day-tight compartments.
Carnegie, Dale

17.
I am sure care's an enemy to life.
William Shakespeare

18.
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

19.
Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law.
Kant, Immanuel

20.
Life is at its best when it's shaken and stirred.
Facult, F. Paul

21.
There is more sophistication and less sense in New York than anywhere else on the globe.
Herold, Don

22.
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

23.
Live poor so you can die rich.

24.
This is what is sad when one contemplates human life, that so many live out their lives in quiet lostness... they live, as it were, away from themselves and vanish like shadows. Their immortal souls are blown away, and they are not disquieted by the question of its immortality, because they are already disintegrated before they die.
Kierkegaard, S°ren

25.
Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead, that is where your future lies.
Landers, Ann

26.
Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me.
Schweitzer, Albert

27.
An artist has no home in Europe except in Paris.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

28.
Life is a foreign language: all men mispronounce it.
Morley, Christopher

29.
The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive.
Robert Heinlein

30.
The purpose of life is to fight maturity.
Dick Werthimer

31.
One should not confuse the craving for life with endorsement of it.
Canetti, Elias

32.
We do not look in our great cities for our best morality.
Austen, Jane

33.
Those who live are those who fight.
Hugo, Victor

34.
Like bees, they must put their lives into the sting they give.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

35.
There is only one way to come into this world; there are too many ways to leave it.
Harington, Donald

36.
Life is full of surprises and and serendipity. Being open to unexpected turns in the road is an important part of success. If you try to plan every step, you may miss those wonderful twists and turns. Just find your next adventure-do it well, enjoy it-and then, not now, think about what comes next.
Condoleeza Rice

37.
Life is uncharted territory. It reveals its story one moment at a time.
Buscaglia, Leo

38.
Life is a foreign language; all men mispronounce it.
Christopher Morley

39.
The less routine the more life.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

40.
America is a nation with no truly national city, no Paris, no Rome, no London, no city which is at once the social center, the political capital, and the financial hub.
Mills, C. Wright

41.
Be glad of life because it gives you a chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at stars.
Dyke, Henry Van

42.
When I consider life, it is all a cheat. Yet fooled with hope, people favor this deceit.
Dryden, John

43.
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

44.
Attack life, it's going to kill you anyway.
Coallier, Steven

45.
Living the truth in your heart without compromise brings kindness into the world. Attempts at kindness that compromise your heart cause only sadness.

46.
I have done my fiddling so long under Vesuvius that I have almost forgotten to play, and can only wait for the eruption and think it long of coming. Literally no man has more wholly outlived life than I. And still it's good fun.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

47.
The city is loveliest when the sweet death racket begins. Her own life lived in defiance of nature, her electricity, her frigidaires, her soundproof walls, the glint of lacquered nails, the plumes that wave across the corrugated sky. Here in the coffin depths grow the everlasting flowers sent by telegraph.
Miller, Henry

48.
Be a life long or short, its completeness depends on what it was lived for.
Jordan, David Starr

49.
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

50.
There are four things every person has more of than they know; sins, debt, years, and foes.
Proverb, Persian
