Life Is Quotes (page 121)

Phyllis McGinley quote: "Compromise, if not the spice of life, is its solidity. It is..."
Compromise, if not the spice of life, is its solidity. It is what makes nations great and marriages happy Phyllis McGinley
I am pleading for the future; I am pleading for a time when hatred and cruelty will not control the hearts of men. When we can learn by, reason and judgment and understanding and faith that all life is worth saving, and that mercy is the highest attribute of man. Clarence Darrow
All life is energy and we are transmitting it at every moment. We are all little beaming little signals like radio frequencies, and the world is responding in kind. Oprah Winfrey
Remember... life is short. Each moment you have is precious. Treasure every second. Don't spend them doing anything you don't love. Meg Cabot
One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating. Luciano Pavarotti
If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn they will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem. Leonard Cohen
Even as I'm shoveling up my hooter, I realize the sad truth. Coke bores me, It bores us all. We're jaded cunts, in a scene we hate, a city we hate, pretending that we're at the center of the universe, trashing ourselves with crap drugs to stave off the feeling that real life is happening somewhere else, aware that all we're doing is feeding that paranoia and disenchantment, yet somehow we're too apathetic to stop. Cause, sadly, there's nothing else of interest to stop for. Irvine Welsh
Although the sum and substance of the happy life is unalloyed freedom from care, and though the secret of such freedom is unshaken confidence... men gather together that which causes worry. Lucius Annaeus Seneca
E. M. Forster quote: "Though life is very glorious, it is difficult."
Though life is very glorious, it is difficult. E. M. Forster
Nothing alive can stand still, it goes forward or back. Life is interesting only as long as it is a process of growth; or, to put it another way, we can only grow as long as we are interested. Eleanor Roosevelt
Perhaps the facts most astounding and most real are never communicated by man to man. The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched. Henry David Thoreau
Arundhati Roy quote: "The American way of life is not sustainable. It doesn’t..."
The American way of life is not sustainable. It doesn’t acknowledge that there is a world beyond America. Arundhati Roy
In the woods too, a man casts off his years, as the snake his slough, and at what period soever of life, is always a child. In the woods, is perpetual youth. Ralph Waldo Emerson
School is shortened, discipline relaxed, philosophies, histories, languages dropped, English and spelling gradually neglected, finally almost completely ignored. Life is immediate, the job counts, pleasure lies all about after work. Why learn anything save pressing buttons, pulling switches, fitting nuts and bolts? Ray Bradbury
The man whose whole life is spent in performing a few simple operations, of which the effects are perhaps always the same, or very nearly the same, has no occasion to exert his understanding or to exercise his invention in finding out expedients for removing difficulties which never occur. He naturally loses, therefore, the habit of such exertion, and generally becomes as stupid and ignorant as it is possible for a human creature to become. Adam Smith
