Life

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
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
The four stages of life are infancy, childhood, adolescence, and obsolescence.
Linkletter, Art

2.
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

3.
A great city, whose image dwells in the memory of man, is the type of some great idea. Rome represents conquest; Faith hovers over the towers of Jerusalem; and Athens embodies the pre-eminent quality of the antique world, Art.
Disraeli, Benjamin

4.
Life is not a matter of place, things or comfort; rather, it concerns the basic human rights of family, country, justice and human dignity.
Marcos, Imelda

5.
Live virtuously, and you cannot not die too soon, or live too long.
Russell, Lady R.

6.
Life may not be beautiful, but it is interesting.
Seeley, Sir John Robert

7.
When in Rome, do as Rome does.
Bierce, Ambrose

8.
Only to the extent that someone is living out this self transcendence of human existence, is he truly human or does he become his true self. He becomes so, not by concerning himself with his self's actualization, but by forgetting himself and giving himself, overlooking himself and focusing outward.
Frankl, Viktor E.

9.
Feelings are really your GPS system for life. When your supposed to do something, or not supposed to do something, your emotional guidance system lets you know.
Oprah Winfrey

10.
It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it's one damn thing over and over.
Millay, Edna St. Vincent

11.
Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

12.
It has always been difficult for Man to realize that his life is all an art. It has been more difficult to conceive it so than to act it so. For that is always how he has more or less acted it.
Ellis, Havelock

13.
So in all these little ways we spin a web, a cocoon, around ourselves. The cocoon becomes nice and snug and comfortable because it is very familiar. We know every little corner of our life; we can even write poetry about it. We may also have ideas about the great mystery which religions speak of, which gives our cocoon an especial sense of security: we can worship the great mystery outside of it and feel good about that. The cocoon is safe, bounded, claustrophobic, and a little stale. We settle into it and live our lives.
Hayward, Jeremy W.

14.
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

15.
We Japanese enjoy the small pleasures, not extravagance. I believe a man should have a simple lifestyle -- even if he can afford more.
Ibuka, Massaru

16.
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

17.
The drama of life begins with a wail and ends with a sigh.
Antrim, Minna

18.
Be a life long or short, its completeness depends on what it was lived for.
Jordan, David Starr

19.
Life is fickle; the fair man doesn't invariably win.
Mark Hodder

20.
Who goes to Rome a beast returns a beast.
Proverb, Italian

21.
I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.
Michelangelo

22.
Life in the Fast Lane Playing in Traffic intense stressful challenging overwhelming fulfilling demanding exciting nerve-wrecking entrepreneurial unrelenting empowered exposed: no place to hide flexible confusing results compensation sweatshop team ascendancy ego suppression flat organizations who's my boss no titles no status customer focus self-abnegation decentralized decision making chaos the end of tenure the end of security no complacency fear ongoing change burnout

23.
It is not length of life, but depth of life.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

24.
Life itself is the proper binge.
Child, Julia

25.
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, SĀ°ren

26.
Washington is an endless series of mock palaces clearly built for clerks.
Huxtable, Ada Louise

27.
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

28.
It doesn't matter much where you live. It only matters how well you live when you're there

29.
It is vanity to desire a long life and to take no heed of a good life.
Kempis, Thomas

30.
All great art is born of the metropolis.
Pound, Ezra

31.
Life is a dead-end street.
Mencken, H. L.

32.
Every perfect life is a parable invented by God.
Weil, Simone

33.
Life is but a moment, death also is but another.
Schuller, Robert H.

34.
Life is a wilderness of twists and turns, where faith is your only compass.
Santaguida, Paul

35.
A city is a place where there is no need to wait for next week to get the answer to a question, to taste the food of any country, to find new voices to listen to and familiar ones to listen to again.
Mead, Margaret

36.
Towns are excrescences, gray fluxions, where men, hurrying to find one another, have lost themselves.
Forster, Edward M.

37.
Life is a state of mind.
Warden, Jack

38.
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

39.
Life is something that everyone should try at least once.
Henry J. Tillman

40.
People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I think that what we're really seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our innermost being and reality, so that we can actually feel the rapture of being alive.
Campbell, Joseph

41.
Even when I'm sick and depressed, I love life.
Rubinstein, Arthur

42.
How could drops of water know themselves to be a river? Yet the river flows on.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De

43.
To live is to go on a journey; to die is to come back home.

44.
A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs...
Epicurus

45.
Life is an onion and one cries while peeling it.
Proverb, French

46.
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

47.
The deeper the experience of an absence of meaning -- in other words, of absurdity --the more energetically meaning is sought.
Havel, Vaclav

48.
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

49.
I should have no objection to go over the same life from its beginning to the end: requesting only the advantage authors have, of correcting in a second edition the faults of the first.
Franklin, Benjamin

50.
Challenging the meaning of life is the truest expression of the state of being human.
Frankl, Viktor E.
