Life

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



Best Quotes about Life

1.
The Metropolis should have been aborted long before it became New York, London or Tokyo.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

2.
The lessons this life has planted in my heart pertain more to caring than crops, more to Golden Rule than gold, more to the proper choice than to the popular choice.
Kirby Larson

3.
Be a life long or short, its completeness depends on what it was lived for.
Jordan, David Starr

4.
Life It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury; signifying nothing.
Shakespeare, William

5.
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

6.
The slightest living thing answers a deeper need than all the works of man because it is transitory. It has an evanescence of life, or growth, or change: it passes, as we do, from one stage to the another, from darkness to darkness, into a distance where we, too, vanish out of sight. A work of art is static; and its value and its weakness lie in being so: but the tuft of grass and the clouds above it belong to our own travelling brotherhood.
Stark, Freya

7.
It is not how many years we live, but rather what we do with them.
Booth, Evangeline Cory

8.
May you live as long as you want and not want as long as you live.
Hanks, Tom

9.
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

10.
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

11.
Life is but a moment, death also is but another.
Schuller, Robert H.

12.
A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one.
Aristotle

13.
I have an existential map; it has you are here written all over it.
Wright, Steven

14.
Birth, copulation and death. That's all the facts when you come to the brass tacks.
Eliot, T. S.

15.
Everybody should do at least two things each day that he hates to do, just for practice.
James, William

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.
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.

18.
I used to trouble about what life was for -- now being alive seems sufficient reason.
Field, Joanna

19.
Life is a flower of which love is the honey.
Hugo, Victor

20.
Life's but a day at most.
Burns, George

21.
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

22.
He who allows his day to pass by without practicing generosity and enjoying life's pleasures is like a blacksmith's bellows. He breathes, but does not live.
Proverb

23.
Life in the twentieth century is like a parachute jump; you have to get it right the first time.
Mead, Margaret

24.
There is no quiet place in the white man's cities. No place to hear the unfurling of leaves in spring, or the rustle of an insect's wings. But perhaps it is because I am a savage and do not understand. The clatter only seems to insult the ears.
Seattle, Chief

25.
Life was mostly made up of things you couldn't control, full of surprises, and they weren't always good. Life wasn't what you made it. You were what life made you.
Sara Zarr

26.
Life -- No, I've nothing to teach you about it for the moment. May be writing about it another week.
Forster, Edward M.

27.
A life is like a tree -- if you don't make it straight when its young and green, you'll never do it when it's old and dry.

28.
Attack life, it's going to kill you anyway.
Coallier, Steven

29.
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

30.
The dream crossed twilight between birth and dying.
Eliot, T. S.

31.
Life is like a taxi. The meter just keeps a-ticking whether you are getting somewhere or just standing still.
Erickson, Lou

32.
Eternal truths will be neither true nor eternal unless they have fresh meaning for every new social situation.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

33.
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

34.
The essence of life is finding something you really love and then making the daily experience worthwhile.
Waitley, Denis

35.
What should I say about life? That it's long and abhors transparence.
Brodsky, Joseph

36.
Life does not happen to us, it happens from us.
Wickett, Michael

37.
New York is not Mecca. It just smells like it.
Simon, Neil

38.
Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.
Rexford, Eben Eugene

39.
It is not true that we have only one life to live; if we can read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.
Hayakawa, S. I.

40.
In place of a world, there is a city, a point, in which the whole life of broad regions is collecting while the rest dries up. In place of a type-true people, born of and grown on the soil, there is a new sort of nomad, cohering unstably in fluid masses, the parasitical city dweller, traditionless, utterly matter-of-fact, religionless, clever, unfruitful, deeply contemptuous of the countryman and especially that highest form of countryman, the country gentleman.
Spengler, Oswald

41.
One has not great hopes from Birmingham. I always say there is something direful in the sound.
Austen, Jane

42.
She fights and vanquishes in me, and I live and breathe in her, and I have life and being.
Cervantes, Miguel De

43.
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

44.
The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things
Rilke, Rainer Maria

45.
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

46.
Life is a series of little deaths out of which life always returns.
Feidelson, Charles

47.
Every morning I wake up saying, I'm still alive; a miracle. And so I keep on pushing.
Cousteau, Jacques

48.
Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans.
Lennon, John

49.
It is not reason which is the guide of life, but custom.
Hume, David

50.
After reading all that has been written, and after thinking all that can be thought, on the topics of God and the soul, the man who has a right to say that he thinks at all, will find himself face to face with the conclusion that, on these topics, the most profound thought is that which can be the least easily distinguished from the most superficial sentiment.
Poe, Edgar Allan
