Philosophy Of Life Quotes

It's a random universe. Shit happens. Good people get stage 4 cancer and dipshits win the lottery. There is no justice. Everything doesn't always come out square in the end. Life isn't some elegant math equation -- it's a Sergio Leone screenplay and everyone gets snuffed. Not all of us have to ante up for our portion of the tab. Some get to do the ol' dine 'n' dash.

Quentin R. Bufogle

…praise does not make anything better or worse.

Marcus Aurelius

We’re beings toward death, we’re … two-legged, linguistically-conscious creatures born between urine and feces whose body will one day be the culinary delight of terrestrial worms.

Cornel West

Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much

Blaise Pascal

To quench my longing I bent me low By the streams of the spirits of Peace that flow In that magical wood in the land of sleep.

Sarojini Naidu

There is a certain proper and luxurious way of lying in bed. Confucius, that great artist of life, "never lay straight" in bed, "like a corpse", but always curled up on one side. I believe one of the greatest pleasures of life is to curl up one's legs in bed. The posture of the arms is also very important, in order to reach the greatest degree of aesthetic pleasure and mental power. I believe the best posture is not lying flat on the bed, but being upholstered with big soft pillows at an angle of thirty degrees with either one arm or both arms placed behind the back of one's head.

Lin Yutang

Sometime we forget to value the small things, that inspire us more than the large! We should learn from daily than planning stupid future.

Vikram Roy

Happiness for me is largely a matter of digestion.

Lin Yutang

The May sunshine makes both the trolls and the elves disappear, he thought. They burst like soap bubbles. Only human beings remain, for a little while. We are a brief song beneath the sky, laughter in the wind that ends in a sigh. Then we too are gone.

Johan Theorin

If only yesterday could be my tomorrow then today wouldn't even matter.

Carroll Bryant

Find your truth, live your truth.

J. T. OWENS

Problems are only opportunities in work clothes.

Henry Kaiser

There are so many simple things getting unnoticed in me, it makes me feel I am a robot!

Vikram Roy

Often times, "shame" is the word that best describes reality.

Carroll Bryant

When a traveler from the future must talk, he does not talk but whimpers. He whispers tortured sounds. He is agonized. For if he makes the slightest alteration in anything, he may destroy the future. At the same time, he is forced to witness events without being part of them, without changing them. He envies the people who live in their own time, who can act at will, oblivious of the future, ignorant of the effects of their actions. But he cannot act. He is an inert gas, a ghost, a sheet without soul. He has lost his personhood. He is an exile of time.

Alan Lightman

The widespread willingness to rely on thermonuclear bombs as the ultimate weapon displays a cavalier attitude toward death that has always puzzled me. My impression is that...most of the defenders of these weapons are not suitably horrified at the possibility of a war in which hundreds of millions of people would be killed...I suspect that an important factor may be belief in an afterlife, and that the proporttion of those who think that death is not the end is much higher among the partisans of the bomb than among its opponents.

Thomas Nagel

When you will have to search for long to collect other nine players to organize your usual five-a-side football match..you will realize to be old...

Gaetano De Coubertin

The ritual works. The forms overcome doubts. We have learned over the centuries to weave meaning around emptiness and pain. A meaning and a pattern. We have been practising that for a very long time.

Håkan Nesser

Within us all are sages, warriors and fools; we more often that not choose the fools

rassool jibraeel snyman

Mahesh shekhar

I’m just here to remind you that every human life is a bold and delicate projection of the eternal into the temporal.

Paul Kijinski

The pursuit of historical revelance is an under appreciated endeavor.

Michael Dwinnell

You think because you face situations not of your making that you exercise no choice? That you are helpless? To the contrary, child. Your whole life has been full of choices. Hiding from a hard truth is a choice. Surrender - even to the inevitable - is a choice. Even in death there is a choice. You may have no control over the time or manner of your death, but you can choose how you face it.

C.L. Wilson

Every day I add to the list of things I refuse to discuss. The wiser the man, the longer the list.

Nicolas Chamfort

So much of life, it seems, is determined by pure randomness.

Sidney Poitier

He feels a second pang now for the existence of perfection, the stubborn existence of perfection in the most vulnerable of things and in the face of his refusal-logical-admirable refusal-to engage with this existence in his heart, in his mind. For the comfortless logic, the curse of clear sight, no matter which string he pulls on the same wretched knot: (a) the futility of seeing given the fatality in a place such as this where a mother still bloody must bury her newborn, hose off, and go home to pound yam into paste; (b) the persistence of beauty, in fragility of all places!, in a dewdrop at daybreak, a thing that will end, and in moments, and in a garden, and in Ghana, lush Ghana, soft Ghana, verdant Ghana, where fragile things die.

Taiye Selasi

Nature is the supreme cradle of life, and must be protected and treated with the highest respect and care.

Bryant McGill

As human beings, our first commandment is:Something needs to happen

Chuck Palahniuk

Don`t let a little fear stop you from getting what you want

Mahmoud Reda

Life is a path to reach destination.However once it is reached ,implies Life had all kind of sharp turns one time or other for all

N.Manoj

Whether we realize it or not, most of us define ourselves by opposing rather than by favoring something or someone. To put it another way, it is easier to react than to act. Nothing arouses a passion for dogma more than a good antagonist. And the more unlikely, the better. … It’s difficult to hate an idea. … It’s much easier to hate someone with a recognizable face whom we can blame for everything that makes us feel uncomfortable. It doesn’t have to be an individual character. It could be a nation, a race, a group … anything.

Carlos Ruiz Zafón

Things are neither good nor bad , all that matters is our thinking....!

M.H. Rakib

In any given situation you will find only what you bring with you...

Christopher Earle

One's mutual responsibility to any individual determines the role of one person who he is.

Ghumakkad Agantuk Ram

Experience is the treasure of any persona.

Ghumakkad Agantuk Ram

Be such that people get to know of you as you are rather than comparing to others.

Ghumakkad Agantuk Ram

Keep burning the flame of discontent within you until you get the joy of satisfaction.

Ghumakkad Agantuk Ram

Prophecy is nothing but only just an estimation based on regularities of the Nature.

Ghumakkad Agantuk Ram

The elements of life do not segregate themselves, unless they are human.

Zephyr A. McIntyre

nO thing is yOur's except yOur "bOdy" -&- nO one is yOurs except yOur "sOul

Prateek Vyas

The impatient idealist says: 'Give me a place to stand and I shall move the earth.' But such a place does not exist. We all have to stand on the earth itself and go with her at her pace.

Chinua Achebe

To make a change, you must be: willing to commit, willing to change, willing to have an open mind, and willing to take action!

Tae Yun Kim

Your own thoughts can be your worst enemy!

Tae Yun Kim

My life seemed like a glass tunnel, through which I was moving faster every year, and at the end of which there was darkness. When I changed my view, the walls of my glass tunnel disappeared. I now live in the open air.

Derek Parfit

The illusion of the seventh veil was the illusion that you could get somebody else to do it for you. To think for you. To hang on your cross. The priest, the rabbi, the imam, the swami, the philosophical novelist were traffic cops, at best. They might direct you through a busy intersection, but they wouldn't follow you home and park your car.

Tom Robbins

But life does not consist of words.Life consists of reality.

Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson

It is this idea 'decency' should be attached to wealth -and 'indecency'' to poverty - that forms the core of one strand of skeptical complaint against the modern status-ideal. Why should failure to make money be taken as a sign of an unconditionally flawed human being rather than of a fiasco in one particular area if the far larger, more multifaceted, project of leading a good life?Why should both wealth and poverty be read as the predominant guides to an individual's morals ?

Alain de Botton

Freedom is your birthright!

Tae Yun Kim

I just know that I don't want cheating. I refuse. I deepened myself but I don't believe in myself because my thought is invented.

Clarice Lispector

Hey, if it's a good philosophy, it works. Death is imminent. Live every day like it's your last.

Justina Chen

We’re beings towards death, we’re featherless two-legged linguistically conscious creatures born between urine and feces whose bodies will one day be the culinary delight of terrestrial worms. That’s us.

Cornel West

Iron deficiency can lead to a wardrobe full of crumpled clothes

Benny Bellamacina

To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary. These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution! And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate. We must create the pedagogy of the paredón [execution wall].

Ernesto Che Guevara

In any given culture and at any given moment, there is always only one 'episteme' that defines the conditions of possibility of all knowledge, whether expressed in theory or silently invested in a practice.

Michel Foucault

There's no tragedy in nature, only process -- and therefore no triumph, either.

Dean Koontz

Dreams are a beautiful bride that holds our hands to enter a world more gloriousthan this one.

Subhan Zein

I think about that centurion from time to time and wonder, had he retired to a farm in Campagna, happy with his harvest of grapes and grandchildren, or had he fallen amongst his comrades on some distant, ruined field, defending the honor and the ever-expanding borders of the Republic? What we foreigners have failed to comprehend over the centuries is that the proud centurion would have found either fate equally satisfying. This is why Rome grows, and the rest of the world shrinks.

Andrew Levkoff

Character depends on characters. Few people are character. Other's should try to opt one but they don't, they lose.

Vikram Roy

(...)"Take your time, because thereisn’t a moment to spare,(...) That’s what Stein told me when I had to leave Menakfor the first time. It kind of means that wherever yourdestination is, now is the time to start working towards it,or you will never get there.

Daniel "Z" Hastings

Whether a man favors crepes and classical or cornbread and country, the complexities of life are all the same.-The Rabbi-
