Life

Life is too short to be little. Man is never so manly as when he feels deeply, acts boldly, and expresses himself with frankness and with fervor.
- Disraeli, Benjamin
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
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

2.
Life is a means of extracting fiction.
Stone, Robert

3.
The world's mine oyster, which I with sword will open.
William Shakespeare

4.
Life. A spiritual pickle preserving the body from decay.
Bierce, Ambrose

5.
The secret of a good life is to have the right loyalties and hold them in the right scale of values.
Norman Thomas

6.
If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a movable feast.
Hemingway, Ernest

7.
There is no shortcut to life. To the end of our days, life is a lesson imperfectly learned.
Salisbury, Harrison

8.
The life of man is a long march through the night, surrounded by invisible foes, tortured by weariness and pain, towards a goal that few can hope to reach, and where none may tarry long.
Russell, Bertrand

9.
Life isn't like a book. Life isn't logical or sensible or orderly. Life is a mess most of the time. And theology must be lived in the midst of that mess.
Colton, Charles Caleb

10.
The four stages of life are infancy, childhood, adolescence, and obsolescence.
Linkletter, Art

11.
Life flows on within you and without you.
Harrison, George

12.
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

13.
Life does not happen to us, it happens from us.
Wickett, Michael

14.
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

15.
The major justification for a life is the happiness and reward it brings to other lives.

16.
Life is something that happens when you can't get to sleep.
Fran Lebowitz

17.
I found Rome brick, I left it marble.
Augustus, Caesar

18.
Life is a grindstone. Whether it grinds us down or polishes us up depends on us.
Holdcroft, Thomas L.

19.
Well, take your time and don't live too fast. Troubles will come and they will pass. Find a woman and you'll find love. Don't forget, son, there is someone up above.
Skynard, Lynard

20.
The art of living is more like that of wrestling than of dancing; the main thing is to stand firm and be ready for an unseen attack.
Aurelius, Marcus

21.
Optimism and humor are the grease and glue of life. Without both of them we would never have survived our captivity.
Butler, Philip

22.
The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds, and the pessimist fears this is true.
Cabell, James Branch

23.
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

24.
Every true man, sir, who is a little above the level of the beasts and plants does not live for the sake of living, without knowing how to live; but he lives so as to give a meaning and a value of his own to life.
Pirandello, Luigi

25.
The essential conditions of everything you do must be choice, love, passion.
Boulanger, Nadia

26.
The art of living lies not in eliminating but in growing with troubles.
Baruch, Bernard M.

27.
Every man's life is a fairy tale written by God's finger.
Anderson, Hans Christian

28.
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

29.
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

30.
Is this not the true romantic feeling; not to desire to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping you.
Wolfe, Thomas

31.
The fact that life has no meaning is a reason to live --moreover, the only one.
Cioran, E. M.

32.
Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.
Woody Allen

33.
Life is not a spectacle or a feast; it is a predicament.
Santayana, George

34.
Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.
Seneca

35.
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

36.
There is more to life than simply increasing its speed.
Gandhi, Mahatma

37.
Challenging the meaning of life is the truest expression of the state of being human.
Frankl, Viktor E.

38.
It doesn't matter much where you live. It only matters how well you live when you're there

39.
This life of separateness may be compared to a dream, a phantasm, a bubble, a shadow, a drop of dew, a flash of lightning.
Buddha

40.
Simply the thing I am shall make me live.
Shakespeare, William

41.
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

42.
We will neglect our cities to our peril, for in neglecting them we neglect the nation.
Kennedy, John F.

43.
My life is a battle.
Voltaire

44.
We have long forgotten the ritual by which the house of our life was erected. But when it is under assault and enemy bombs are already taking their toll, what enervated, perverse antiquities do they not lay bare in the foundations.
Benjamin, Walter

45.
The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things
Rilke, Rainer Maria

46.
A life of ease is a difficult pursuit.
Cowper, William

47.
Your life is what your thoughts make it.
Aurelius, Marcus

48.
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

49.
Life is like eating artichokes, you have got to go through so much to get so little.
Dorgan, Thomas A.

50.
She fights and vanquishes in me, and I live and breathe in her, and I have life and being.
Cervantes, Miguel De
