Motivational Quotes
Life
Life is not one thing after another. It's the same damn thing over and over!

Best Quotes about Life
It is not the years in your life but the life in your years that counts!
Stevenson, Adlai E.
Life has a practice of living you, if you don't live it.
Larkin, Philip
To attain inner peace you must actually give your life, not just your possessions. When you at last give your life -- bringing into alignment your beliefs and the way you live then, and only then, can you begin to find inner peace.
Pilgrim, Peace
The cities of America are inexpressibly tedious. The Bostonians take their learning too sadly; culture with them is an accomplishment rather than an atmosphere; their Hub, as they call it, is the paradise of prigs. Chicago is a sort of monster-shop, full of bustles and bores. Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry. Baltimore is amusing for a week, but Philadelphia is dreadfully provincial; and though one can dine in New York one could not dwell there.
Wilde, Oscar
Life must be lived forward, but can only be understood backwards.
Kierkegaard, S°ren
I am sure care's an enemy to life.
William Shakespeare
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
I can't be bitter. No one has a contract on life.
Heath, David M.
But look what we have built low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace. Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums. Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.
Jacobs, Jane
There are a number of things wrong with Washington. One of them is that everyone is too far from home.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.
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.
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
The person lives twice who lives the first life well.
Herrick, Robert
Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward.
Kierkegaard, S°ren
Like bees, they must put their lives into the sting they give.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The difference between life and the movies is that a script has to make sense, and life doesn't.
Mankiewicz, Joseph L.
May God bless you to live as long as you want to; and want to as long as you live!
Proverb, Scottish
Anything for the quick life, as the man said when he took the situation at the lighthouse.
Dickens, Charles
Remember, a dead fish can float downstream, but it takes a live one to swim upstream.
Fields, W. C.
Some people seem to go through life standing at the complaint counter.
Propp Jr., Fred
Paris is the caf? of Europe.
Galiani, Ferdinando
A city is a large community where people are lonesome together.
Prochnow, Herbert
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
My kids idea of a hard life is to live in a house with only one phone.
Foreman, George
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, S°ren
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 like riding a bicycle. You don't fall off unless you stop peddling.
Pepper, Claude D.
Life is a fatal complaint, and an eminently contagious one.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
If I shall sell both my forenoons and afternoons to society, as most appear to do, I'm sure that, for me, there would be nothing left worth living for.
Thoreau, Henry David
In real life, however, you don't react to what someone did; you react only to what you think she did, and the gap between action and perception is bridged by the art of impression management. If life itself is but what you deem it, then why not focus your efforts on persuading others to believe that you are a virtuous and trustworthy cooperator?
Jonathan Haidt
Life at the top is financially rewarding, spiritually draining, physically exhausting, and short.
Newman, Peter C.
To look at the cross-section of any plan of a big city is to look at something like the section of a fibrous tumor.
Wright, Frank Lloyd
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 is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don't do that by sitting around.
Hepburn, Katharine
Life is divided up into the horrible and the miserable.
Allen, Woody
Every perfect life is a parable invented by God.
Weil, Simone
The great city is that which has the greatest man or woman: if it be a few ragged huts, it is still the greatest city in the whole world.
Whitman, Walt
The finest lives in my opinion are the common model, without miracle and without extravagance.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Living Life Tomorrow's fate, though thou be wise, Thou canst not tell nor yet surmise; Pass, therefore, not today in vain, For it will never come again.
Khayyam, Omar
Our first ideas of life are generally taken from fiction rather than fact.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
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
I used to trouble about what life was for -- now being alive seems sufficient reason.
Field, Joanna
Don't be afraid of death so much as an inadequate life.
Brecht, Bertolt
Life is a means of extracting fiction.
Stone, Robert
The art of living lies not in eliminating but in growing with troubles.
Baruch, Bernard M.
When in Rome, do as Rome does.
Bierce, Ambrose
Life is indeed difficult, partly because of the real difficulties we must overcome in order to survive, and partly because of our own innate desire to always do better, to overcome new challenges, to self-actualize. Happiness is experienced largely in striving towards a goal, not in having attained things, because our nature is always to want to go on to the next endeavor.
Albert Ellis, Michael Abrams, Lidia Dengelegi
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
Nothing is beneath you if it is in the direction of your life.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
The tragedy of life is not so much what men suffer, but rather what they miss.
Carlyle, Thomas
