Life

I have done my fiddling so long under Vesuvius that I have almost forgotten to play, and can only wait for the eruption and think it long of coming. Literally no man has more wholly outlived life than I. And still it's good fun.
- Stevenson, Robert Louis
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
Life is like wine, the longer you take to enjoy it the more chance you've got of tasting vinegar.

2.
The screech and mechanical uproar of the big city turns the citified head, fills citified ears -- as the song of birds, wind in the trees, animal cries, or as the voices and songs of his loved ones once filled his heart. He is sidewalk-happy.
Wright, Frank Lloyd

3.
Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.
William Shakespeare

4.
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

5.
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

6.
Best to live lightly, unthinkingly.
Sophocles

7.
Life is the farce which everyone has to perform.
Rimbaud, Arthur

8.
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

9.
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

10.
We come into this world head first and go out feet first; in between, it is all a matter of balance.
Boese, Paul

11.
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

12.
Without fullness of experience, length of days is nothing. When fullness of life has been achieved, shortness of days is nothing. That is perhaps why the young have usually so little fear of death; they live by intensities that the elderly have forgotten.
Mumford, Lewis

13.
We would like to live as we once lived, but history will not permit it.
Kennedy, John F.

14.
As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means.
Camus, Albert

15.
Life is a fatal complaint, and an eminently contagious one.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

16.
Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end.
Woolf, Virginia

17.
This is what you shall do: love the earth and sun, and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence towards the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or to any man or number of men; go freely with the powerful uneducated persons, and with the young, and mothers, of families: read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life: re-examine all you have been told at school or church, or in any books, and dismiss whatever insults your soul.
Whitman, Walt

18.
Life is constantly providing us with new funds, new resources, even when we are reduced to immobility. In life's ledger there is no such thing as frozen assets.
Miller, Henry

19.
Take life as you find it, but don't leave it that way

20.
Life is like playing a violin in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
Samuel Butler

21.
Life is a video game. No matter how good you get, you are always zapped in the end

22.
Men must live and create. Live to the point of tears.
Camus, Albert

23.
The art of mastering life is the prerequisite for all further forms of expression, whether they are paintings, sculptures, tragedies, or musical compositions.
Klee, Paul

24.
Life begins when you get out of the grandstand into the game.
Debevoise, P. L.

25.
Life is a dead-end street.
Mencken, H. L.

26.
Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.
Hemingway, Ernest

27.
Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
John Lennon

28.
Life too near paralyses art.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

29.
The faces in New York remind me of people who played a game and lost.
Kempton, Murray

30.
If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.
Roosevelt, Eleanor

31.
Taken in any context, except seriously, life on earth is palatable and positively enjoyable.

32.
Life is essentially a cheat and its conditions are those of defeat... the redeeming things are not happiness and pleasure but the deeper satisfactions that come out of struggle.

33.
I am sure care's an enemy to life.
William Shakespeare

34.
Every time I look into the eyes of an animal I see life; the force of life and the beauty of creation
O'Reilly, Radar

35.
Look to the future, because that is where you'll spend the rest of your life.
Burns, George

36.
The fact that life has no meaning is a reason to live --moreover, the only one.
Cioran, E. M.

37.
Too often man handles life as he does the bad weather, He whiles away the time as he waits for it to stop.
Polgar, Alfred

38.
He lives who dies to win a lasting name.
Drummond, Henry

39.
We live everything as it comes, without warning, like an actor going on cold. And what can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself? That is why life is always a sketch. No sketch is not quite the right word, because a sketch is an outline of something, the groundwork for a picture, whereas the sketch that is our life is a sketch of nothing, an outline with no picture.
Kundera, Milan

40.
When I hear somebody sigh that Life is hard, I am always tempted to ask, Compared to what?
Harris, Sidney J.

41.
Life is an unbroken succession of false situations.
Thornton Wilder

42.
Live as if everything you do will eventually be known.
Prather, Hugh

43.
Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.
Rexford, Eben Eugene

44.
A great city is not to be confounded with a populous one.
Aristotle

45.
Life is a gamble at terrible odds, if it were a bet, you would not take it.
Stoppard, Tom

46.
If you believed more in life you would fling yourself less to the moment.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

47.
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

48.
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

49.
Not where I breathe, but where I love, I live; Not where I love, but where I am, I die.
Southey, Robert

50.
Life is not a spectacle or a feast; it is a predicament.
Santayana, George
