Best Quotes about Life
Being is. Being is in-itself. Being is what it is.
Sartre, Jean-Paul
I sit astride life like a bad rider on a horse. I only owe it to the horse's good nature that I am not thrown off at this very moment.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig
Anything for the quick life, as the man said when he took the situation at the lighthouse.
Dickens, Charles
Life is a fatal complaint, and an eminently contagious one.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Dance like no one is watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like no one is listening, Live like it's heaven on earth.
Purkey, William
Life is an unbroken succession of false situations.
Thornton Wilder
America is a nation with no truly national city, no Paris, no Rome, no London, no city which is at once the social center, the political capital, and the financial hub.
Mills, C. Wright
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
On the whole, I am on the side of the unregenerate who affirms the worth of life as an end in itself, as against the saints who deny it.
Holmes Jr., Oliver Wendell
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
Life begins when you get out of the grandstand into the game.
Debevoise, P. L.
In Washington, the first thing people tell you is what their job is. In Los Angeles you learn their star sign. In Houston you're told how rich they are. And in New York they tell you what their rent is.
Hoggart, Simon
This also -- that I live, I consider a gift of God.
Ovid
When I consider life, it is all a cheat. Yet fooled with hope, people favor this deceit.
Dryden, John
There is more to life than simply increasing its speed.
Gandhi, Mahatma
Life is like wine, the longer you take to enjoy it the more chance you've got of tasting vinegar.
Don't worry about your life; what you shall eat, or drink, or the clothing for your body. [Matthew 6:31]
Bible
Life is not having been told that the man has just waxed the floor.
Nash, Ogden
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
Life is a continual process of remaking ourselves.
Cities give us collision. 'Tis said, London and New York take the nonsense out of a man.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
There is only one way to get ready for immortality, and that is to love this life and live it as bravely and faithfully and cheerfully as we can.
Dyke, Henry Van
Life -- No, I've nothing to teach you about it for the moment. May be writing about it another week.
Forster, Edward M.
We live, not as we wish to, but as we can.
Menander of Athens
We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from it.
Osler, Sir William
The goal of life is living in agreement with nature.
Zeno
In the early days all I hoped was to make a living out of what I did best. But, since there's no real market for masturbation I had to fall back on my bass playing abilities.
Claypool, Les
Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.
Mille, Agnes De
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
When we exercise self-control on a given occasion, we win for ourselves a little credibility we can rely on the next time around. Pretty soon we develop a reputation to ourselves that we want badly to uphold. With each test that we meet, our resolve gains momentum, fueled by the fear that we may succumb and establish a damaging precedent for our own weakness.
Daniel Akst
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
Life It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury; signifying nothing.
Shakespeare, William
The drama of life begins with a wail and ends with a sigh.
Antrim, Minna
Walk through life eager and open to self-improvement and that which is going to best help you evolve, because that's really why were here: to evolve as human beings.
Oprah Winfrey
People should always have something which they prefer to life.
Seume, Johann G.
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
Life is a dead-end street.
Mencken, H. L.
The interest in life does not lie in what people do, nor even in their relations to each other, but largely in the power to communicate with a third party, antagonistic, enigmatic, yet perhaps persuadable, which one may call life in general.
Woolf, Virginia
Some people go through life trying to find out what the world holds for them only to find out too late that it's what they bring to the world that really counts. OR It's not what the world holds for you it's what you bring to it
Gables, Anne Of Green
On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.
Buddha
Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning.
Miller, Henry
Life's enchanted cup sparkles near the brim.
Byron, Lord
Life is a little gleam of time between two eternity s.
Carlyle, Thomas
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life... I wanted to live so sturdily and so Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life... to drive life into a corner to know it by experience and be able to give an account of it in my next excursion.
Thoreau, Henry David
There are three stages in a person's life, birth, their life and death. They are not conscious of birth submit to death and forget to live.
La Bruyere, Jean De
Your life is what your thoughts make it.
Aurelius, Marcus
In the morning of life, work; in the mid day give council; in the evening, pray.
Proverb, German
Those who talk on the razor-edge of double-meanings pluck the rarest blooms from the precipice on either side.
Smith, Logan Pearsall
An artist has no home in Europe except in Paris.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
