Important Life Quotes (page 22)

It is hard to see how a great man can be an atheist. Without the sustaining influence of faith in a divine power we could have little faith in ourselves. We need to feel that behind us is intelligence and love. Doubters do not achieve; skeptics do not contribute; cynics do not create. Faith is the great motive power, and no man realizes his full possibilities unless he has the deep conviction that life is eternally important, and that his work, well done, is a part of an unending plan. Calvin Coolidge
Truman Capote quote: "Freedom may be the most important thing in life, but there's..."
Freedom may be the most important thing in life, but there's such a thing as too much freedom. Truman Capote
My faith in Christ is central to my life. My conversion from a pessimistic atheist lost in a world I didn't understand, to an optimistic believer in a universe created and sustained by a loving God is crucial to me. But following Christ does not mean following His followers. Christ is infinitely more important than Christianity and always will be, no matter what Christianity is, has been, or might become. Anne Rice
I‘ve always agreed with the view that — with science fiction — its predictive powers were the least important or least relevant aspect of its public profile. I always loved stuff like Orwell‘s 1984, where he explicitly said “It‘s 1948, reversed.” I liked writers that were doing allegorical, satirical, fantastical versions of everyday life. Jonathan Lethem
In politics, as in every other sphere of life, there are two important principles for a man of any sense: don't cherish too many illusions, and never stop believing that every little bit helps. Italo Calvino
Some people believe that football[soccer] is a matter of life and death. I'm very dissappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much more important than that. Bill Shankly
There is for a man two things in life that are very important, head and shoulders above everything else. Find work you like, and find someone to live with you like. Very few people get both. Cormac McCarthy
Every time I hear a political speech or I read those of our leaders, I am horrified at having, for years, heard nothing which sounded human. It is always the same words telling the same lies. And the fact that men accept this, that the people’s anger has not destroyed these hollow clowns, strikes me as proof that men attribute no importance to the way they are governed; that they gamble – yes, gamble – with a whole part of their life and their so called 'vital interests. Albert Camus
Yet, he thought, if I can die saying, "Life is so beautiful," then nothing else is important. If i can believe in myself that much, nothing else matters. Mario Puzo
We shouldn't live as if [other worlds] mattered more than this life in this world, because where we are is always the most important place. Philip Pullman
Nathaniel Branden quote: "Of all the judgments we pass in life, none is more important..."
Of all the judgments we pass in life, none is more important than the judgment we pass on ourselves. Nathaniel Branden
Morrie Schwartz quote: "The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out..."
The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and let it come in Morrie Schwartz
Antoine de Saint-Exupery quote: "Sometimes we behave as though there was something more..."
Sometimes we behave as though there was something more important than life. But what? Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Mary Quant quote: "Risk it, go for it. Life always gives you another chance,..."
Risk it, go for it. Life always gives you another chance, another go at it. It's very important to take enormous risks. Mary Quant
Stuck in my own trap of writing about a nonsubject, I think I can defend my own self-respect, and also the integrity of a lost girl, by saying two things. First, the trivial doings of Paris Hilton are of no importance to me, or anyone else, and I should not be forced to contemplate them. Second, she should be left alone to lead such a life as has been left to her. If this seems paradoxical, then very well. Christopher Hitchens
