Quotations by Subject: Life (78 quotes)

Results from Poor Man's College:

Life is like a B-picture script. It is that corny. If I had my life story offered to me to film, I'd turn it down.: Kirk Douglas
How small a portion of our life it is that we really enjoy! In youth we are looking forward to things that are to come; in old age we are looking backward to things that are gone past; in manhood, although we appear indeed to be more occupied in things that are present, yet even that is too often absorbed in vague determinations to be vastly happy on some future day when we have time.: C. C. Colton
A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.: James Allen
Be such a man, and live such a life, that if every man were such as you, and every life a life like yours, this earth would be God's Paradise.: Phillips Brooks (1835 - 1893)
Spare minutes are the Gold-dust of time; the portions of life most fruitful in good and evil; the gaps through which temptations enter.: Author Unknown
Non Judgment: In our world where it seems we are taught to judge everything all around and about us and we spend so much of our time doing just that, it might be wise to ask if we can judge anything. To judge anything with any degree of clarity and accuracy we would need all the information past, present and future and how it will affect all concerned to make a perfect judgment. Since no one has that skill, ability or information, you might agree, it may be unwise to judge. This idea may be hard to accept, but when you look back over your life and the judgments you made, ask yourself. How many of your judgments, when you made them, were you perfectly sure they were correct, would you want to change now with the benefit of 20 20 hindsight? Since every judgment is only an opinion based on the limited information at hand, filtered through one's personal value system, it might be safe to assume no two people will judge anything exactly the same. Even concepts of right and wrong, good or bad, good or bad morals and ethics are only opinions, for what may be good in one case may be a disaster in another.: Sidney Madwed
Foolish men imagine that because judgment for an evil thing is delayed, there is no justice; but only accident here below. Judgment for an evil thing is many times delayed some day or two, some century or two, but it is sure as life, it is sure as death.: Thomas Carlyle (1795 - 1881)
Life does not cease to be funny when people die; any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.: George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
Laughter, while it lasts, slackens and unbraces the mind, weakens the faculties and causes a kind of remissness and dissolution in all the powers of the soul; and thus it may be looked on as weakness in the composition of human nature. But if we consider the frequent reliefs we receive from it and how often it breaks the gloom which is apt to depress the mind and damp our spirits, with transient, unexpected gleams of joy, one would take care not to grow too wise for so great a pleasure of life.: Joseph Addison (1672 - 1719)
It is one of the beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely try to be kind to another, without helping himself.: Bailey
