Prepare for death, if here at night you roam, and sign your will before you sup from home.
- Johnson, Samuel
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
Life does not consist mainly, or even largely, of facts and happenings. It consists mainly of the storm of thought that is forever flowing through one's head.
Twain, Mark

2.
Life's enchanted cup sparkles near the brim.
Byron, Lord

3.
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

4.
Optimism and humor are the grease and glue of life. Without both of them we would never have survived our captivity.
Butler, Philip

5.
Life is a wilderness of twists and turns, where faith is your only compass.
Santaguida, Paul

6.
Eternal truths will be neither true nor eternal unless they have fresh meaning for every new social situation.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

7.
Life was a funny thing that happened to me on the way to the grave.
Crisp, Quentin

8.
New York, the nation's thyroid gland.
Morley, Christopher

9.
We do not look in our great cities for our best morality.
Austen, Jane

10.
The world is not to be put in order; the world is order, incarnate. It is for us to harmonize with this order.
Miller, Henry

11.
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

12.
Life is very interesting if you make mistakes.
Carpentier, Georges

13.
It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it's one damn thing over and over.
Millay, Edna St. Vincent

14.
Life is filigree work. What is written clearly is not worth much, it's the transparency that counts.
Celine, Louis-Ferdinand

15.
Some people seem to go through life standing at the complaint counter.
Propp Jr., Fred

16.
Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.
Rexford, Eben Eugene

17.
Life is not so much a matter of position as of disposition

18.
Where the criminals cover their crimes by making them legal. [On Washington D. C.]
Dane, Frank

19.
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

20.
Life is the only art that we are required to practice without preparation, and without being allowed the preliminary trials, the failures and botches, that are essential for training.
Mumford, Lewis

21.
A neighborhood is a residential area that is changing for the worse.
Ciardi, John

22.
And so from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe, and then, from hour to hour,we rot and rot; and thereby hangs a tale.
William Shakespeare

23.
Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told: I'm with you kid. Let's go.
Angelou, Maya

24.
Life is not having been told that the man has just waxed the floor.
Nash, Ogden

25.
Boston is a moral and intellectual nursery always busy applying first principles to trifles.
Santayana, George

26.
One belongs to New York instantly. One belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years.
Wolfe, Thomas

27.
Life is supposed to get tough.
Grammer, Kelsey

28.
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

29.
Attack life, it's going to kill you anyway.
Coallier, Steven

30.
Life! Life! Don't let us go to life for our fulfillment or our experience. It is a thing narrowed by circumstances, incoherent in its utterance, and without that fine correspondence of form and spirit which is the only thing that can satisfy the artistic
Wilde, Oscar

31.
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

32.
Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.
Radner, Gilda

33.
We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.
Sir Winston Churchill

34.
You don't get to choose how you're going to die, or when. You can decide how you're going to live now.
Baez, Joan

35.
New York is an exciting town where something is happening all the time, most unsolved.
Carson, Johnny

36.
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

37.
Life is short, but it's long enough to ruin any man who wants to be ruined.
Billings, Josh

38.
Where there is life there is wishful thinking.
Lieberman, Gerald F.

39.
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

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

42.
The deeper the experience of an absence of meaning -- in other words, of absurdity --the more energetically meaning is sought.
Havel, Vaclav

43.
Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.
Miller, Henry

44.
It is not how many years we live, but rather what we do with them.
Booth, Evangeline Cory

45.
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

46.
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

47.
Can't nothing make your life work if you ain't the architect.
McMillan, Terry

48.
The city is recruited from the country.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

49.
Life is a zoo in a jungle.
Peter De Vries

50.
What a life! True life is elsewhere. We are not in the world.
Rimbaud, Arthur
