Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
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

2.
The three great essentials to achieve anything worth while are: Hard work, Stick-to-itiveness, and Common sense.
Edison, Thomas A.

3.
Not by gain our life is measured, But by what we've lost 'Tis scored; 'Tis not how much wine is drunken But how much has been outpoured. For the strength of love never standeth In the sacrifice we bear; He who has the greatest suffering Ever has the most to share.
Nee, Watchman

4.
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

5.
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

6.
The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. [Psalms 90:10]
Bible

7.
This is a world of action, and not for moping and droning in.
Dickens, Charles

8.
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

9.
Life is something that everyone should try at least once.
Henry J. Tillman

10.
Life is real! Life is earnest! And death is not its goal. Dust thou art, to dust returneth, was not spoken of the soul.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

11.
Dare to err and to dream. Deep meaning often lies in childish plays.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

12.
Life is a zoo in a jungle.
Peter De Vries

13.
When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

14.
One should not confuse the craving for life with endorsement of it.
Canetti, Elias

15.
Life is not one thing after another. It's the same damn thing over and over!

16.
Life is like riding a bicycle. You don't fall off unless you stop peddling.
Pepper, Claude D.

17.
All things atrocious and shameless flock from all parts to Rome.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

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.
Life is a series of collisions with the future; it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be.
Gasset, Jose Ortega Y

20.
If I had been present at creation, I would have given some useful hints.
Wise, Alfonso The

21.
Cities give us collision. 'Tis said, London and New York take the nonsense out of a man.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

22.
The fact that life has no meaning is a reason to live --moreover, the only one.
Cioran, E. M.

23.
Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.
William Shakespeare

24.
Life must be lived forward, but can only be understood backwards.
Kierkegaard, S°ren

25.
We are doomed to cling to a life even while we find it unendurable.
James, William

26.
Life is not a spectacle or a feast; it is a predicament.
Santayana, George

27.
Life is an offensive, directed against the repetitious mechanism of the Universe.
Whitehead, Alfred North

28.
Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.
Thoreau, Henry David

29.
Threescore years and ten is enough; if a man can't suffer all the misery he wants in that time, he must be numb.
Billings, Josh

30.
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

31.
Nothing can be meaner than the anxiety to live on, to live on anyhow and in any shape; a spirit with any honor is not willing to live except in its own way, and a spirit with any wisdom is not over-eager to live at all.
Santayana, George

32.
Life marches by, I suggest you get on with it.
Baluch, Joy

33.
The dream crossed twilight between birth and dying.
Eliot, T. S.

34.
Life is supposed to get tough.
Grammer, Kelsey

35.
Life is a series of little deaths out of which life always returns.
Feidelson, Charles

36.
I have an existential map; it has you are here written all over it.
Wright, Steven

37.
Can't nothing make your life work if you ain't the architect.
McMillan, Terry

38.
Make your life a happy one. That is where success is possible to every man.
Powell, Robert

39.
Life is raw material. We are artisans. We can sculpt our existence into something beautiful, or debase it into ugliness. It's in our hands.
Better, Cathy

40.
People need to be made more aware of the need to work at learning how to live because life is so quick and sometimes it goes away too quickly
Warhol, Andy

41.
Boston is a moral and intellectual nursery always busy applying first principles to trifles.
Santayana, George

42.
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.

43.
This city now doth, like a garment, wear the beauty of the morning; silent bare, ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples lie open unto the fields and to the sky; All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
Wordsworth, William

44.
Real life seems to have no plots.
Burnett, Ivy Compton

45.
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

46.
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

47.
The crime problem in New York is getting really serious. The other day the Statue of Liberty had both hands up.
Leno, Jay

48.
A life-worshipper's philosophy is comprehensive. He is at one moment a positivist and at another a mystic: now haunted by the thought of death and now a Dionysian child of nature; now a pessimist and now, with a change of lover or liver or even the weather, an exuberant believer that God's in his heaven and all's right with the world.
Huxley, Aldous

49.
It's better to be an authentic loser than a false success, and to die alive than to live dead.
Markiewicz, William

50.
Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith.
Steve Jobs
