Life

Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.
- William Shakespeare
Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
Life is the farce which everyone has to perform.
Rimbaud, Arthur

2.
Make your life a happy one. That is where success is possible to every man.
Powell, Robert

3.
Life is not a dress rehearsal.
Tremain, Rose

4.
Life is a long lesson in humility.
James M. Barrie

5.
There is one thing that matters -- to set a chime of words tinkling in the minds of a few fastidious people.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

6.
Living, just by itself -- what a dirge that is! Life is a classroom and Boredom's the usher, there all the time to spy on you; whatever happens, you've got to look as if you were awfully busy all the time doing something that's terribly exciting --or he'll come along and nibble your brain.
Celine, Louis-Ferdinand

7.
This city now doth, like a garment, wear the beauty of the morning; silent bare, ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples lie open unto the fields and to the sky; All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
Wordsworth, William

8.
The four stages of life are infancy, childhood, adolescence, and obsolescence.
Linkletter, Art

9.
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

10.
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

11.
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

12.
Life is real! Life is earnest! And death is not its goal. Dust thou art, to dust returneth, was not spoken of the soul.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

13.
If you're not in New York, you're camping out.
Dewey, Thomas E.

14.
The game of life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy.
Shinn, Florence Scovel

15.
The life of man is a long march through the night, surrounded by invisible foes, tortured by weariness and pain, towards a goal that few can hope to reach, and where none may tarry long.
Russell, Bertrand

16.
Prepare for death, if here at night you roam, and sign your will before you sup from home.
Johnson, Samuel

17.
What else can you expect from a town that's shut off from the world by the ocean on one side and New Jersey on the other?
Henry, O.

18.
You really haven't changed, you've just become more of yourself. That is really what were all trying to do: become more of ourselves.
Oprah Winfrey

19.
The trouble with life is that there are so many beautiful women and so little time.
Barrymore, John

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

22.
Simply the thing I am shall make me live.
Shakespeare, William

23.
Those who live are those who fight.
Hugo, Victor

24.
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

25.
Some people seem to go through life standing at the complaint counter.
Propp Jr., Fred

26.
What is life? A frenzy. What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a fiction. And the greatest good is trivial; for all life is a dream and all dreams are dreams.
Calderon de la Barca, Pedro

27.
I used to trouble about what life was for -- now being alive seems sufficient reason.
Field, Joanna

28.
Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding.
Lao-Tzu

29.
The purpose of life is to fight maturity.
Dick Werthimer

30.
Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.
Robbins, Anthony

31.
Life is a state of mind.
Warden, Jack

32.
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

33.
Challenging the meaning of life is the truest expression of the state of being human.
Frankl, Viktor E.

34.
To live life well is to express life poorly; if one expresses life too well, one is living it no longer.
Bachelard, Gaston

35.
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

36.
The City attaches an exaggerated importance to the healing power of lunch.
Fieldes, Christopher

37.
We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let us now commit it to life.
Markham, Edwin

38.
Only to the extent that someone is living out this self transcendence of human existence, is he truly human or does he become his true self. He becomes so, not by concerning himself with his self's actualization, but by forgetting himself and giving himself, overlooking himself and focusing outward.
Frankl, Viktor E.

39.
What should I say about life? That it's long and abhors transparence.
Brodsky, Joseph

40.
You live in a deranged age, more deranged that usual, because in spite of great scientific and technological advances, man has not the faintest idea of who he is or what he is doing.
Percy, Walker

41.
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.

42.
Everywhere one seeks to produce meaning, to make the world signify, to render it visible. We are not, however, in danger of lacking meaning; quite the contrary, we are gorged with meaning and it is killing us.
Baudrillard, Jean

43.
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

44.
Life, we learn too late, is in the living, the tissue of every day and hour.
Leacock, Stephen B.

45.
Well, take your time and don't live too fast. Troubles will come and they will pass. Find a woman and you'll find love. Don't forget, son, there is someone up above.
Skynard, Lynard

46.
The crime problem in New York is getting really serious. The other day the Statue of Liberty had both hands up.
Leno, Jay

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

48.
Life at the top is financially rewarding, spiritually draining, physically exhausting, and short.
Newman, Peter C.

49.
May you live as long as you want and not want as long as you live.
Hanks, Tom

50.
Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.
Seneca
