Best Quotes about Life
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
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
Every morning I wake up saying, I'm still alive; a miracle. And so I keep on pushing.

Any city however small, is in fact divided into two, one the city of the poor, the other of the rich. These are at war with one another.
Plato
Some people seem to go through life standing at the complaint counter.
Propp Jr., Fred
When I hear somebody sigh that Life is hard, I am always tempted to ask, Compared to what?

Dane, Frank
Life is not one thing after another. It's the same damn thing over and over!
Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead, that is where your future lies.
Landers, Ann
I found Rome brick, I left it marble.
Augustus, Caesar
The surrender of life is nothing to sinking down into acknowledgment of inferiority.
Calhoun, John C.
Life is difficult and complicated and beyond anyone's total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.
J.K. Rowling
Life -- how curious is that habit that makes us think it is not here, but elsewhere.
Pritchett, V. S.
For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. [James 4:14]
Bible
One recipe for a longer life; Never exceed the speed limit.
Live poor so you can die rich.
The three great essentials to achieve anything worth while are: Hard work, Stick-to-itiveness, and Common sense.
Edison, Thomas A.
Nature has invented reproduction as a mechanism for life to move forward. As a life force that passes right through us and makes us a link in the evolution of life.
Louis Schwartzberg
The world has so many lessons to teach you. I consider the world, our earth, to be like a school, and our life, the classrooms. Sometimes on our planet life school, the lessons often come dressed up as detours and road blocks and sometimes as full blown crises. And the secret I've learned to getting ahead is being open to the lessons.
Oprah Winfrey
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.

Life is something that everyone should try at least once.
Henry J. Tillman
Much violence is based on the illusion that life is a property to be defended and not to be shared.
Nouwen, Henri
Give a man a dollar and you cheer his heart. Give him a dream and you challenge his heart. Give him Christ and you change his heart. Then the dollar and the dream become meaningful to him, and to others.
Strait, C. Neil
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
All of life is a foreign country.
Kerouac, Jack
In matters of self-control as we shall see again and again, speed kills. But a little friction really can save lives.
Daniel Akst
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
It's better to be an authentic loser than a false success, and to die alive than to live dead.
Markiewicz, William
Life has taught me to think, but thinking has not taught me to live.
Herzen, Alexander
You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.
Krishnamurti, Jiddu
First I was dying to finish high-school and start college. Then I was dying to finish college and start working. Next, I was dying for my children to grow old enough for school, so I could return to work. Finally, I was dying to retire. And now, I am dying
The drama of life begins with a wail and ends with a sigh.
Antrim, Minna
You have to do what you love to do, not get stuck in that comfort zone of a regular job. Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it.

Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
This tattered life is my only robe; the wind my only refuge.
Mountain, Marian
Life is a glass given to us to fill; a busy life is filling it with as much as it can hold; a hurried life has had more poured into it than it can contain.

Take life as you find it, but don't leave it that way
Don't brood. Get on with living and loving. You don't have forever.
Rexford, Eben Eugene
It is not how many years we live, but rather what we do with them.
Booth, Evangeline Cory
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)
Don't be afraid of death so much as an inadequate life.
