Life Quotes

  • "Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each."
    By: Henry David Thoreau
    Life Quotes
  • "Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance toward the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point. Climb slowly, steadily, enjoying each passing moment; and the view from the summit will serve as a fitting climax for the journey."
    By: Harold B. Melchart
    Life Quotes
  • "The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line."
    By: H.L. Mencken
    Life Quotes
  • "People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost."

  • "I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done, and I am satisfied with it."
    By: Grandma Moses
    Life Quotes
  • "Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he's been robbed. The fact is that most putts don't drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old time journey...delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas, and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride."
    By: Gordon B. Hinckley
    Life Quotes
  • "Eating, loving, singing and digesting are, in truth, the four acts of the comic opera known as life, and they pass like bubbles of a bottle of champagne. Whoever lets them break without having enjoyed them is a complete fool."
    By: Gioacchino Rossini
    Life Quotes
  • "[P]erhaps nothing 'ud be a lesson to us if it didn't come too late. It's well we should feel as life's a reckoning we can't make twice over; there's no real making amends in this world, any more nor you can mend a wrong subtraction by doing your addition right."
    By: George Eliot Mary Ann Evans, Adam Bede
    Life Quotes
  • "It's but little good you'll do a-watering the last year's crops."
    By: George Eliot Marian Evans Cross, Adam Bede, 1859
    Life Quotes
  • "The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone."
    By: George Eliot
    Life Quotes
  • "Old times never come back and I suppose it's just as well. What comes back is a new morning every day in the year, and that's better."
    By: George E. Woodberry
    Life Quotes
  • "Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh."
    By: George Bernard Shaw, The Doctor's Dilemma, 1906
    Life Quotes
  • "Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations."
    By: George Bernard Shaw
    Life Quotes
