Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
Life. A spiritual pickle preserving the body from decay.
Bierce, Ambrose

2.
This is it. There are no hidden meanings. All that mystical stuff is just what's so.
Erhard, Werner

3.
Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.
Rexford, Eben Eugene

4.
The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extra human architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish. At first glance, the rhythm may be confused with gaiety, but when you look more closely at the mechanism of social life and the painful slavery of both men and machines, you see that it is nothing but a kind of typical, empty anguish that makes even crime and gangs forgivable means of escape.
Lorca, Federico Garcia

5.
Cities give us collision. 'Tis said, London and New York take the nonsense out of a man.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

6.
Living the truth in your heart without compromise brings kindness into the world. Attempts at kindness that compromise your heart cause only sadness.

7.
Youth is too tumultuous for felicity; old age too insecure for happiness. The period most favorable to enjoyment, in a vigorous, fortunate, and generous life, is that between forty and sixty.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

8.
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

9.
Life is a classroom in which each of us is being tested, tried, and passed.
Thibodeau, Robert

10.
To live is not breathing it is action.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

11.
The art of living lies not in eliminating but in growing with troubles.
Baruch, Bernard M.

12.
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

13.
There is always inequity in life. Some men are killed in a war, and some men are wounded, and some men are stationed in the Antarctic and some are stationed in San Francisco. It's very hard in military or personal life to assure complete equality. Life
Kennedy, John F.

14.
Can't nothing make your life work if you ain't the architect.
McMillan, Terry

15.
Difficulties come when you don't pay attention to life's whisper. Life always whispers to you first, but if you ignore the whisper, sooner or later you'll get a scream.
Oprah Winfrey

16.
Boston is a moral and intellectual nursery always busy applying first principles to trifles.
Santayana, George

17.
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

18.
Life is an end in itself, and the only question as to whether it is worth living is whether you have had enough of it.
Holmes Jr., Oliver Wendell

19.
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

20.
Just as all thought, and primarily that of non-signification, signifies something, so there is no art that has no signification.
Camus, Albert

21.
We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.
Sir Winston Churchill

22.
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

23.
Life is filigree work. What is written clearly is not worth much, it's the transparency that counts.
Celine, Louis-Ferdinand

24.
Everything has been figured out, except how to live.
Sartre, Jean-Paul

25.
The catalogue of forms is endless: until every shape has found its city, new cities will continue to be born. When the forms exhaust their variety and come apart, the end of cities begins.
Calvino, Italo

26.
There is a time of life somewhere between the sullen fugues of adolescence and the retrenchments of middle age when human nature becomes so absolutely absorbing one wants to be in the city constantly, even at the height of summer.
Hoagland, Edward

27.
Life is an offensive, directed against the repetitious mechanism of the Universe.
Whitehead, Alfred North

28.
In matters of self-control as we shall see again and again, speed kills. But a little friction really can save lives.
Daniel Akst

29.
The four stages of life are infancy, childhood, adolescence, and obsolescence.
Linkletter, Art

30.
Life is like a piano. What you get out of it depends on how you play it.
Lehrer, Tom

31.
Remember, a dead fish can float downstream, but it takes a live one to swim upstream.
Fields, W. C.

32.
Life is not always not always what one wants it to be., but to make the best of it as it is the only way of being happy.
Churchill, Jennie Jerome

33.
Life is too short to learn German.
Porson, R.

34.
The major justification for a life is the happiness and reward it brings to other lives.

35.
The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.
Mumford, Lewis

36.
It doesn't matter much where you live. It only matters how well you live when you're there

37.
A life of ease is a difficult pursuit.
Cowper, William

38.
Is this not the true romantic feeling; not to desire to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping you.
Wolfe, Thomas

39.
The mountains, rivers, earth, grasses, trees, and forests are always emanating a subtle, precious light, day and night, always emanating a subtle, precious sound, demonstrating and expounding to all people the unsurpassed ultimate truth.
Yuan-Sou

40.
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- that myth is more potent than history. I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts -- That hope always triumphs over experience -- That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.
Fulghum, Robert

41.
Life is always walking up to us and saying, 'Come on in, the living's fine,' and what do we do? Back off and take its picture.
Baker, Russell (Wayne)

42.
Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways.
Benet, Stephen Vincent

43.
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

44.
Young people talk of what they are doing; old people of what they have done; and fools of what they have a mind to do.
Proverb

45.
The secret of a good life is to have the right loyalties and hold them in the right scale of values.
Norman Thomas

46.
A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs...
Epicurus

47.
Eternal truths will be neither true nor eternal unless they have fresh meaning for every new social situation.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

48.
Life isn't fair. It's just fairer than death, that's all.
William Goldman

49.
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

50.
Life is full and overflowing with the new. But it is necessary to empty out the old to make room for the new to enter.
Caddy, Eileen
