Life Too Short Quotes (page 3)

I don't have a bad relationship. I'm 48 years old. I think life is too short for that. To me, life is... you open the shutters, you see the dogs outside, you look left, you look right, in, what, a second and a half? And that's a life. Jean Claude Van Damme
George Eliot quote: "My life is too short, and God’s work is too great for me to..."
My life is too short, and God’s work is too great for me to think of making a home for myself in this world. George Eliot
In a community coursed through by energies every road leads to a worthwhile goal, provided one doesn't hesitate or reflect too long. Targets are short-term, but since life is short too, results are maximized, which is all people need to be happy, because the soul is formed by what you accomplish, whereas what you desire without achieving it merely warps the soul. Happiness depends very little on what we want, but only on achieving whatever it is. Robert Musil
One can never read too little of bad, or too much of good books: bad books are intellectual poison; they destroy the mind. In order to read what is good one must make it a condition never to read what is bad; for life is short, and both time and strength limited. Arthur Schopenhauer
I try not to spend too much time on partisan politics. Life's too short for that. I don't really believe that there have been many human problems solved by politics. Dean Koontz
There are some good things to be said about walking. Not many, but some. Walking takes longer, for example, than any other known form of locomotion except crawling. Thus it stretches time and prolongs life. Life is already too short to waste on speed. I have a friend who's always in a hurry; he never gets anywhere. Walking makes the world much bigger and thus more interesting. You have time to observe the details. The utopian technologists foresee a future for us in which distance is... Edward Abbey
My mother raised me to be bold. If I do not go, I will spend the rest of my life wondering what might have happened if I had."If you do go, the rest of your life may be too short for wondering. - Asha & Rodrick George R. R. Martin
Believe in yourself, not only in swimming, but in life itself. You always have to have fun. You have to have an open mind. If you're not enjoying it, don't do it. Life's too short. Debbie Meyer
Cao Yu quote: "For a writer, life is always too short to write. I will just..."
For a writer, life is always too short to write. I will just try my best during what remains of my life. Cao Yu
I wanted a woman who could get me out of a Third World prison. Life's too short to hang out with people who aren't resourceful. Jeff Bezos
William Shakespeare quote: "The devil take order! I'll to the throng: Let life be short,..."
The devil take order! I'll to the throng: Let life be short, else shame will be too long. William Shakespeare
I'm willing to show good taste, if I can, in somebody else's living room, but our reading life is too short for a writer to be in any way polite. Since his words enter into another's brain in silence and intimacy, he should be as honest and explicit as we are with ourselves. John Updike
Would you not be happier if you tried to forget her severity, together with the passionate emotions it excited? Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity, or registering wrongs." - Helen Burns Charlotte Bronte
There is no reason why you should be bored when you can be otherwise. But if you find yourself sitting in the hedgerow with nothing but weeds, there is no reason for shutting your eyes and seeing nothing, instead of finding what beauty you may in the weeds. To put it cynically, life is too short to waste it in drawing blanks. Therefore, it is up to you to find as many pictures to put on your blank pages as possible. Emily Post
Let's not allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget. Remember "Life is too short to be little". Dale Carnegie
