Life Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Life

1.
They that have lived a single day have lived an age.
La Bruyere, Jean De

2.
Life is a foreign language: all men mispronounce it.
Morley, Christopher

3.
Most of us fall short much more by omission than by commission. While the world perishes we go our way: purposeless, passionless, day after day.
Pilgrim, Peace

4.
Washington is an endless series of mock palaces clearly built for clerks.
Huxtable, Ada Louise

5.
The tragedy of life is not so much what men suffer, but rather what they miss.
Carlyle, Thomas

6.
If you seek, how is that different from pursuing sound and form? If you don't seek, how are you different from earth, wood, or stone? You must seek without seeking.
Fo-Yan

7.
Life is a bridge. Cross over it, but build no house on it.
Proverb, Indian

8.
The hardest years in life are those between ten and seventy.
Hayes, Helen

9.
I am sure care's an enemy to life.
William Shakespeare

10.
You are a little soul carrying around a corpse.
Epictetus

11.
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

12.
Life is a thing that mutates without warning, not always in enviable ways. All part of the improbable adventure of being alive, of being a brainy biped with giant dreams on a crazy blue planet.
Diane Ackerman

13.
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

14.
Life is like riding a bicycle. You don't fall off unless you stop peddling.
Pepper, Claude D.

15.
Where the criminals cover their crimes by making them legal. [On Washington D. C.]
Dane, Frank

16.
To live is not breathing it is action.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

17.
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

18.
The Metropolis should have been aborted long before it became New York, London or Tokyo.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

19.
Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.
Seneca

20.
Life is an onion and one cries while peeling it.
Proverb, French

21.
My kids idea of a hard life is to live in a house with only one phone.
Foreman, George

22.
It is a good thing that life is not as serious as it seems to a waiter.
Herold, Don

23.
All that man has will he give for his life.
Bible

24.
We don't beat the Grim Reaper by living longer, we beat the Reaper by living well and living fully, for the Reaper will come for all of us. The question is what do we do between the time we are born and the time he shows up. It's too late to do all the things that you're gonna kinda get around to.
Randy Pausch

25.
We come into this world head first and go out feet first; in between, it is all a matter of balance.
Boese, Paul

26.
Perhaps life is just that... a dream and a fear.
Conrad, Joseph

27.
The cities of the world are concentric, isomorphic, synchronic. Only one exists and you are always in the same one. It's the effect of their permanent revolution, their intense circulation, their instantaneous magnetism.
Baudrillard, Jean

28.
Prepare for death, if here at night you roam, and sign your will before you sup from home.
Johnson, Samuel

29.
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

30.
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

31.
The world's mine oyster, which I with sword will open.
William Shakespeare

32.
It's not true that life is one damn thing after another; it's one damn thing over and over.
Millay, Edna St. Vincent

33.
The life of man is a journey; a journey that must be traveled, however bad the roads or the accommodation.
Goldsmith, Oliver

34.
There are chapters in every life which are seldom read and certainly not aloud.
Shields, Carol

35.
All great art is born of the metropolis.
Pound, Ezra

36.
No one knows when they are well off.
Punch

37.
Life may not be beautiful, but it is interesting.
Seeley, Sir John Robert

38.
Life is something that happens when you can't get to sleep.
Fran Lebowitz

39.
Taken in any context, except seriously, life on earth is palatable and positively enjoyable.

40.
Always take hold of things by the smooth handle.
Jefferson, Thomas

41.
Life is like a box of chocolates: You never know what you're gonna get.
Movie, Forrest Gump

42.
Our first ideas of life are generally taken from fiction rather than fact.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

43.
To live fully is to let go and die with each passing moment, and to be reborn in each new one.
Kornfield, Jack

44.
If I had been present at creation, I would have given some useful hints.
Wise, Alfonso The

45.
In the game of life it's a good idea to have a few early losses, which relieves you of the pressure of trying to maintain an undefeated season.
Baughan, Bill

46.
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

47.
An artist has no home in Europe except in Paris.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

48.
For everything that lives is holy, life delights in life.
Blake, William

49.
The less routine the more life.
Alcott, Amos Bronson

50.
Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.
Isaac Asimov
