Live a life full of humility, gratitude, intellectual curiosity, and never stop learning.
210
It’s very intense to be in front of a live audience. It’s just an amazing experience. It’s dangerous. Everything out there is heightened. The bad stuff is extra-worse. The silences are extra-silent. The good stuff is amazing. It’s electric when you walk out there. For 90 minutes, you’re on this other planet.
211
I will not be just a tourist in the world of images, just watching images passing by which I cannot live in, make love to, possess as permanent sources of joy and ecstasy.
212
Yesterday, December seventh, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. We will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us God.
213
Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure… than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
214
Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise.
215
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
216
The reason we want to go on and on is because we live in an impoverished present.
217

218
Live honestly to a higher note. Life is too short. So, do the best you can and live your life to a higher note.
219
I guess this is gonna sound kind of weird, but I’m not scared for myself for dying. Because I believe all these places are temporary. This is just one shell. Because we Hawaiians live in both worlds.
Israel Kamakawiwo’ole
220
I’d rather live on my own than live with a face that looks at me with the wrong eyes.
221
You must learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t possibly live long enough to make them all yourself.
Sam Levenson
222
To me, if life boils down to one thing, it’s movement. To live is to keep moving.

230
How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.
231
When you realize who you live for, and who’s important to please, a lot of people will actually start living. I am never going to get caught up in that. I’m gonna look back on my life and say that I enjoyed it – and I lived it for me.
232
When I was 16, I used to hang out at the Nambucca pub in North London and see The Libertines play live.
233
I don’t know how to live good. I only know how to suffer.
234
Love is the ultimate expression of the will to live.
235
In an expanding universe, time is on the side of the outcast. Those who once inhabited the suburbs of human contempt find that without changing their address they eventually live in the metropolis.
236
I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life.
237
If there existed no external means for dimming their consciences, one-half of the men would at once shoot themselves, because to live contrary to one’s reason is a most intolerable state, and all men of our time are in such a state.
238
He does not believe that does not live according to his belief.
239
Life is the game that must be played, this truth at least, good friends, we know; so live and laugh, nor be dismayed as one by one the phantoms go.
Arthur Rubinstein
240
Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live.
Henry Van Dyke
241
In this universe, and this existence, where we live with this duality of whether we exist or not and who are we, the stories we tell ourselves are the stories that define the potentialities of our existence. We are the stories we tell ourselves.
242
What matters is to live in the present, live now, for every moment is now. It is your thoughts and acts of the moment that create your future. The outline of your future path already exists, for you created its pattern by your past.
243
The precepts of the law are these: to live honestly, to injure no one, and to give everyone else his due.
244
We were born to die and we die to live. As seedlings of God, we barely blossom on earth; we fully flower in heaven.
245
I’m not an optimist. I’m a realist. And my reality is that we live in a multifaceted, multicultural world. And maybe once we stop labeling ourselves, then maybe everyone else will.
246
Beware, so long as you live, of judging men by their outward appearance.
247
To live outside the law, you must be honest.
248
When you look at Japanese traditional architecture, you have to look at Japanese culture and its relationship with nature. You can actually live in a harmonious, close contact with nature – this very unique to Japan.
249
When one begins to live by habit and by quotation, one has begun to stop living.
250
I think I’ve played a lesbian about five times. The first one was with Helen Baxendale in a drama called ‘The Investigator,’ about the conditions lesbians had to live under in the army in Britain, which was based on a true story.
Laura Fraser
251
Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.
252
I have matured with the realization that I can live without a man!
Lana Turner
253
In a live performance, it’s a collaboration with the audience; you ride the ebb and flow of the crowd’s energy. On television, you don’t have that.
254
We have to live life with a sense of urgency so not a minute is wasted.
255
I was born an American; I will live an American; I shall die an American.
256
I’m living with every step. I can’t live with regret. The past is the past. I’m not worried about it. I can’t change it. I can’t fix it. It is what it is. I’m just living.
257
We’re born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we’re not alone.
258
I tell you the past is a bucket of ashes, so live not in your yesterdays, no just for tomorrow, but in the here and now. Keep moving and forget the post mortems; and remember, no one can get the jump on the future.
259
Life seeks life and loves life. The opening of a catkin of a willow, in the flight of the butterfly, in the chirping of a tree-toad or the sweep of an eagle – my life loves to see how others live, exults in their joy, and so far is partner in their great concern.
260
The heart will break, but broken live on.
261
All we have is today. Just live it. We don’t know about tomorrow. So, enjoy the day. Love yourself, and spread love around.
262
Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.
263
It is only by not paying one’s bills that one can hope to live in the memory of the commercial classes.
264
Our heritage and ideals, our code and standards – the things we live by and teach our children – are preserved or diminished by how freely we exchange ideas and feelings.
265
A life is either all spiritual or not spiritual at all. No man can serve two masters. Your life is shaped by the end you live for. You are made in the image of what you desire.
266
The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.
267
If it weren’t for painting, I wouldn’t live; I couldn’t bear the extra strain of things.
268
As the world we live in is so unpredictable, the ability to learn and to adapt to change is imperative, alongside creativity, problem-solving, and communication skills.
269
What we live by we die by.
270
A word is dead when it is said, some say. I say it just begins to live that day.
271
The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.
272
I am not in this world to live up to other people’s expectations, nor do I feel that the world must live up to mine.
Fritz Perls
273
I’ve got a condo in Miami, but I don’t live in it.
274
If you are carrying strong feelings about something that happened in your past, they may hinder your ability to live in the present.
275
We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.
276
Is this America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, where we have to sleep with our telephones off the hooks because our lives be threatened daily, because we want to live as decent human beings in America?
277
To live without Hope is to Cease to live.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
278
I live in the present with an eye on the future.
279
You can’t afford to get sick, and you can’t depend on the present health care system to keep you well. It’s up to you to protect and maintain your body‘s innate capacity for health and healing by making the right choices in how you live.
280
Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.
281
A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite.
282
Home is not where you live, but where they understand you.
Christian Morgenstern
283
We all have to live together, so we might as well live together happily.
284
Make the most of your regrets; never smother your sorrow, but tend and cherish it till it comes to have a separate and integral interest. To regret deeply is to live afresh.
285
286
Learn how to live and you’ll know how to die; learn how to die, and you’ll know how to live.
Morrie Schwartz
287
There have to be reasons that you get up in the morning and you want to live. Why do you want to live? What’s the point? What inspires you? What do you love about the future? If the future does not include being out there among the stars and being a multi-planet species, I find that incredibly depressing.
288
As all entrepreneurs know, you live and die by your ability to prioritize. You must focus on the most important, mission-critical tasks each day and night, and then share, delegate, delay or skip the rest.
Jessica Jackley
289
All your life, you live so close to truth, it becomes a permanent blur in the corner of your eye. And when something nudges it into outline, it is like being ambushed by a grotesque.
290
Our object should be peace within, and peace without. We want to live peacefully and maintain cordial friendly relations with our immediate neighbours and with the world at large.
291
I am God’s vessel. But my greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live.
292
We all wish to live. We all seek a world in which men are freed of the burdens of ignorance, poverty, hunger and disease. And we shall all be hard-pressed to escape the deadly rain of nuclear fall-out should catastrophe overtake us.
293
Lenin lived, Lenin lives, Lenin will live.
Kim Il-sung
294
Getting older is no problem. You just have to live long enough.
295
Life can be tough sometimes. But I think it just starts with admitting, ‘Okay, the world’s not perfect, how do we live our lives within that and not be miserable?’
296
It’s only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth – and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.
297
Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live, but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately, it can propel people toward social emancipation.
298
We have to rediscover the eternal values and then live them out.
299
I’d rather live in a cave with a view of a palace than live in a palace with a view of a cave.
300
Time is something that cannot be bought; it cannot be wagered with God, and it is not in endless supply, Time is simply how you live your life.
301
It is not necessary that whilst I live I live happily; but it is necessary that so long as I live I should live honourably.
302
I seek no longer to be a ‘famous’ person, and instead I wish to live a ‘normal’ life.
303
On Memorial Day, I don’t want to only remember the combatants. There were also those who came out of the trenches as writers and poets, who started preaching peace, men and women who have made this world a kinder place to live.
304
It’s easy listening to a record, but a live performance is so personal and real.
305
Those who have learned to walk on the threshold of the unknown worlds, by means of what are commonly termed par excellence the exact sciences, may then, with the fair white wings of imagination, hope to soar further into the unexplored amidst which we live.
306
Live music is where you get the inspiration and the creativity.
307
The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.
308
I plant a lot of trees. I am a great believer in planting things for future generations. I loathe the now culture where you just live for today.
Penelope Keith
309
It’s an artist‘s duty to reflect the times in which we live.
310
My motto is: Live every day to the fullest – in moderation.
311
France, and the whole of Europe have a great culture and an amazing history. Most important thing though is that people there know how to live! In America they’ve forgotten all about it. I’m afraid that the American culture is a disaster.
312
We have two lives the one we learn with and the life we live after that.
Bernard Malamud
313
Believe in life! Always human beings will live and progress to greater, broader, and fuller life.
314
You can never really live anyone else’s life, not even your child‘s. The influence you exert is through your own life, and what you’ve become yourself.
315
To live happily is an inward power of the soul.
316
If I have free time, I want to go to the beach, walk around a shopping mall, go grocery shopping. Live a little bit of life.
317
I speak not for myself but for those without voice… those who have fought for their rights… their right to live in peace, their right to be treated with dignity, their right to equality of opportunity, their right to be educated.
318
Live so that when your children think of fairness, caring, and integrity, they think of you.
319
Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance.
320
Animals praise a good day, a good hunt. They praise rain if they’re thirsty. That’s prayer. They don’t live an unconscious life, they simply have no language to talk about these things. But they are grateful for the good things that come along.
321
You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.
322
I just want to live each moment to the fullest. And enjoy life.
323
Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitudes toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.
324
To live alone is the fate of all great souls.
325
The human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. It is by the real that we exist; it is by the ideal that we live.
326
So, do you live around here often?
327
You need to live in a dome initially, but over time you could terraform Mars to look like Earth and eventually walk around outside without anything on… So it’s a fixer-upper of a planet.
328
Find out who you are and be that person. That’s what your soul was put on this Earth to be. Find that truth, live that truth and everything else will come.
329
Man is born to live and not to prepare to live.
Boris Pasternak
330
You only live twice. Once when you are born and once when you look death in the face.
Ian Fleming
331
Tramping is too easy with all this money. My days were more exciting when I was penniless and had to forage around for my next meal… I’ve decided that I’m going to live this life for some time to come. The freedom and simple beauty of it is just too good to pass up.
Christopher McCandless
332
We live in a society of victimization, where people are much more comfortable being victimized than actually standing up for themselves.
333
A man has to live with himself, and he should see to it that he always has good company.
Charles Evans Hughes
334

We are always getting ready to live but never living.
337
May you live your life as if the maxim of your actions were to become universal law.
338
Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.
339
One should eat to live, not live to eat.
340
We live with our archetypes, but can we live in them?
Poul Anderson
341
I cannot live without books.
342
We live in an age, in an era where there is so much negativity, there is so much violence in the world, there is so much unrest and people are at war, that I wanted to promote the word love and red signifies love.
343
All religions are designed to teach us how to live, joyfully, serenely, and kindly, in the midst of suffering.
344
I really like to live my life in a low-key fashion.
345
The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes.
346
I used to choose friends based on similarity in age and life stage, but I’ve learned that those were the wrong criteria. Trying to live life exclusively alongside others our own age is like attempting to climb Mt. Everest without a Sherpa. It’s a little dangerous.
347
We live in a world where all wars will begin as cyber wars… It’s the combination of hacking and massive, well-coordinated disinformation campaigns.
348
I’m just going to go live life. I’m going to go enjoy life. I have nothing left to hide. I am kind of a free person, a free soul.
349
Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.
350
Flowers heal me. Tulips make me happy. I keep myself surrounded by them as soon as they start coming to the island from Canada, and after that when they come from the fields in La Connor, not far from where I live.
Rebecca Wells
351
You’re never as good as they say you are, you’re never as bad as they say you are. That’s a quote I live by.
352
Those who want to look more youthful should live life with a young heart.
353
I want to live and feel all the shades, tones, and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.
354
Without friends no one would choose to live, though he had all other goods.
355
As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.
356
You don’t have to live a lie. Living a lie will mess you up. It will send you into depression. It will warp your values.
357
If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn’t brood. I’d type a little faster.
358
Everything has been figured out, except how to live.
359
It is up to us to live up to the legacy that was left for us, and to leave a legacy that is worthy of our children and of future generations.
360
I do quite well for myself, but I live a simple life.
361
Everything passes. Nobody gets anything for keeps. And that’s how we’ve got to live.
362
There’s nothing better than live music. It’s raw energy, and raw energy feeds the soul.
363
You cannot live your life looking at yourself from someone else’s point of view.
364
Creativity is not merely the innocent spontaneity of our youth and childhood; it must also be married to the passion of the adult human being, which is a passion to live beyond one’s death.
365
What you see is what you get. My God, I don’t have the time nor the energy to live up to some persona.
Marc Anthony
366
Live every day as if it’s going to be your last, and one day, you’ll be right.
Malachy McCourt
367
I’m very much in the trenches, and I don’t live in the lap of luxury. I come from a working-class military family. We watch the news and read the paper and vote, so there’s always something to be upset about. I always have a certain amount of angst in my back pocket.
368
I don’t expect to live forever, but I do intend to hang on as long as possible.
369
To teach how to live without certainty and yet without being paralysed by hesitation is perhaps the chief thing that philosophy, in our age, can do for those who study it.
370
To live by one man’s will becomes the cause of all misery.
Richard Hooker
371
If God would have wanted us to live in a permissive society He would have given us Ten Suggestions and not Ten Commandments.
372
If women will not accept marriage with subjection, nor men proffer it without, there is, there can be, no alternative. The women who will not be ruled must live without marriage. And during this transition period… single women make comfortable and attractive homes for themselves.
373
Life is short, so there is no reason why you shouldn’t live it to the fullest expression of yourself.
374
When I wake up, I expect things to be good. If they’re not, then I try to set about trying to make them as good as I can ’cause I know I’m gonna have to live that day anyway. So why not try to make the most of it if you can? Some days, they pan out a little better than others, but you still gotta always just try.
375
Cross-cultural marriage is difficult, especially when one person has to live in another country. But I thought there was a very good chance of it working because people grow together if they have a common passion.
376
If we live a self-directed, self-motivated, self-centered life, always needing to get our own way, then we’re going to be miserable. In fact, many times we believe it’s our problems that are making us unhappy when, in reality, it’s because we’re focused on ourselves!
377
Our job as gay people was to come out, to be visible – to live in the truth, as I say – to get out of the lie.
378
Live with integrity, respect the rights of other people, and follow your own bliss.
Nathaniel Branden
379
One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from a horse master. He told me to go slow to go fast. I think that applies to everything in life. We live as though there aren’t enough hours in the day but if we do each thing calmly and carefully we will get it done quicker and with much less stress.
380
If Christ has died for me, ungodly as I am, without strength as I am, then I cannot live in sin any longer, but must arouse myself to love and serve Him who has redeemed me.
381
The things that have always been important: to be a good man, to try to live my life the way God would have me, to turn it over to Him that His will might be worked in my life, to do my work without looking back, to give it all I’ve got, and to take pride in my work as an honest performer.
382
Come live with me and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove, That valleys, groves, hills, and fields, Woods, or steepy mountain yields.
Christopher Marlowe
383
I’m the one that has to die when it’s time for me to die, so let me live my life, the way I want to.
384
We should have a State in which we could live and breathe as free men and which we could develop according to our own lights and culture and where principles of Islamic social justice could find free play.
385
I want to live my life, not record it.
386
While we walking, while we breathing, we dying… I be really feeling like, even though we live to die, some people be dying to live.
Kodak Black
387
No single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us. To live is to be slowly born. It would be a bit too easy if we could go about borrowing ready-made souls.
388
389
You can’t live a lie. You have to follow your heart.
390
Man’s only true happiness is to live in hope of something to be won by him. Reverence something to be worshipped by him, and love something to be cherished by him, forever.
391
Life is relationship, living is relationship. We cannot live if you and I have built a wall around ourselves and just peep over that wall occasionally. Unconsciously, deeply, under the wall, we are related.
392
We look at science as something very elite, which only a few people can learn. That’s just not true. You just have to start early and give kids a foundation. Kids live up, or down, to expectations.
393
To achieve greatness one should live as if they will never die.
394
Not necessity, not desire – no, the love of power is the demon of men. Let them have everything – health, food, a place to live, entertainment – they are and remain unhappy and low-spirited: for the demon waits and waits and will be satisfied.
395
Live daringly, boldly, fearlessly. Taste the relish to be found in competition – in having put forth the best within you.
Henry J. Kaiser
396
Live your life to its fullest potential and don’t really care too much about what other people think of you.
397
I was born and brought up in the countryside. I used to live in a sort of converted stables on the grounds of a castle, and I spent a lot of my childhood running around with a pretend sword pretending to be Robert the Bruce.
398
You only live once. Life is a show.
399
Everybody is a hypocrite. You can’t live on this planet without being a hypocrite.
400
The influence of social media is unbelievable. It’s sad to see – it’s a fake life that some people live.
401
And all people live, Not by reason of any care they have for themselves, But by the love for them that is in other people.
402
You can live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be a hundred.
403
Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.
404
All I want is to live a peaceful life, to regain my life and be happy.
405
It is our job, as members of parliament, to legislate with an eye to the long term future, to look over the horizon beyond the next election and ensure that as far as we can what we do today will make Australia a better place, a safer place, for future generations to live in.
406
I live by two words: tenacity and gratitude.
407
There’s no reality except the one contained within us. That’s why so many people live an unreal life. They take images outside them for reality and never allow the world within them to assert itself.
408
I’m much more energetic now; you might say live performance is my mission.
409
May you live as long as you wish and love as long as you live.
410
Consider your origins: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.
Dante Alighieri
411

Come live in my heart, and pay no rent.
Samuel Lover
414
We make the world we live in and shape our own environment.
415
I believe in individuality, that everybody is special, and it’s up to them to find that quality and let it live.
416
That is the key of this collection, being yourself. Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live.
Gianni Versace
417
Our environment, the world in which we live and work, is a mirror of our attitudes and expectations.
418
If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.
419
I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.
420
421
What then is freedom? The power to live as one wishes.
422
Is freedom anything else than the right to live as we wish? Nothing else.
423
I made a choice before I lost my legs that I was going to live the best life possible and that I wasn’t going to let this slow me down – and that choice has kept me moving forward.
424
I suspect that even most conservatives would prefer to live in the kind of world conjured up in the liberals‘ imagination rather than in the kind of world we are in fact stuck with.
425
To seek the highest good is to live well.
426
The depth of darkness to which you can descend and still live is an exact measure of the height to which you can aspire to reach.
427
We are victims of evil customs. It is a crime against humanity that our women are shut up within the four walls of the houses as prisoners. There is no sanction anywhere for the deplorable condition in which our women have to live.
428
The best revenge is to live on and prove yourself.
429
Live with passion!
430
We have to live today by what truth we can get today and be ready tomorrow to call it falsehood.
431
We draw our strength from the very despair in which we have been forced to live. We shall endure.
432
I abhor averages. I like the individual case. A man may have six meals one day and none the next, making an average of three meals per day, but that is not a good way to live.
433
Email, instant messaging, and cell phones give us fabulous communication ability, but because we live and work in our own little worlds, that communication is totally disorganized.
434
The writer must earn money in order to be able to live and to write, but he must by no means live and write for the purpose of making money.
435
Death is easier than a wretched life; and better never to have born than to live and fare badly.
436
If only I wasn’t an atheist, I could get away with anything. You’d just ask for forgiveness and then you’d be forgiven. It sounds much better than having to live with guilt.
437
What I learned in jail is that I can’t change. I can’t live a different lifestyle – this is it. This is the life that they gave and this is the life that I made.
438
To live in the light of a new day and an unimaginable and unpredictable future, you must become fully present to a deeper truth – not a truth from your head, but a truth from your heart; not a truth from your ego, but a truth from the highest source.
439
I can say that I never knew what joy was like until I gave up pursuing happiness, or cared to live until I chose to die. For these two discoveries I am beholden to Jesus.
Malcolm Muggeridge
440
I think animation can tell more than live action.
441
One can survive everything, nowadays, except death, and live down everything except a good reputation.
442
To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.
443
The one thing I learned is to just give everything a shot. You don’t want to live in regret.
444
Good men are the stars, the planets of the ages wherein they live, and illustrate the times.
Ben Jonson
445
You don’t get to choose how you’re going to die, or when. You can only decide how you’re going to live. Now.
446
The way you dress is really the way you feel, the way you live, what you read, your choices. That’s what I want to put into Gucci.
447
Going to a restaurant is one of my keenest pleasures. Meeting someplace with old and new friends, ordering wine, eating food, surrounded by strangers, I think is the core of what it means to live a civilised life.
Adam Gopnik
448
We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery.
449
It is courage, courage, courage, that raises the blood of life to crimson splendor. Live bravely and present a brave front to adversity.
450
The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle.
451
Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.
452
Everybody has to be able to participate in a future that they want to live for. That’s what technology can do.
453
Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.
Tecumseh
454
To live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often.
455
The police can’t protect consumers. People need to be more aware and educated about identity theft. You need to be a little bit wiser, a little bit smarter and there’s nothing wrong with being skeptical. We live in a time when if you make it easy for someone to steal from you, someone will.
456
Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around.
457
Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future.
458
I think it’s naive to pray for world peace if we’re not going to change the form in which we live.
459
Let us endeavor so to live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.
460
While living I want to live well.
Geronimo
461
Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.
462
Fishes live in the sea, as men do on land: the great ones eat up the little ones.
Pericles
463
Life is very, very short, and you can choose to live it how you want. You can choose to dumb yourself down and not express yourself just so you can fit in, just so people won’t dislike you.
464
Like a morning dream, life becomes more and more bright the longer we live, and the reason of everything appears more clear. What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end.
465
If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he’s dead, then maybe he was a great man.
466
I might have had a tough break; but I have an awful lot to live for.
Lou Gehrig
467
We live on this speck called Earth – think about what you might do, today or tomorrow – and make the most of it.
468
I absolutely adore cows. They’re the most fascinating, gentle and beautiful animals. Their eyes are so amazing. I have ten that live on the land around my house. I love to talk to them. There are few things better than falling asleep in a field and being woken up by an inquisitive cow.
469
Cambridge is heaven, I am convinced it is the nicest place in the world to live. As you walk round, most people look incredibly bright, as if they are probably off to win a Nobel prize.
470
Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.
471
While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.
472
To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one’s own in the midst of abundance.
473
It’s an art to live with pain… mix the light into gray.
474
We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.
475
The stage is my first love. It gives me immense self-satisfaction, a sort of power because a stage actor carries the audience along; it’s a live performance; spontaneity is its soul.
476
One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.
477
Healthy people are those who live in healthy homes on a healthy diet; in an environment equally fit for birth, growth work, healing, and dying… Healthy people need no bureaucratic interference to mate, give birth, share the human condition and die.
478
It takes some balls to live life to the fullest.
479
The main purpose of life is to live rightly, think rightly, act rightly. The soul must languish when we give all our thought to the body.
480
Oh while I live, to be the ruler of life, not a slave, to meet life as a powerful conqueror, and nothing exterior to me will ever take command of me.
481
Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.
482
We are born crying, live complaining, and die disappointed.
483
Try and live your life the way you wish other people would live theirs.
Raymond Burr
484
India can live without nuclear weapons. That’s our dream, and it should be the dream of the U.S. also.
485
Close to a billion people – one-eighth of the world’s population – still live in hunger. Each year 2 million children die through malnutrition. This is happening at a time when doctors in Britain are warning of the spread of obesity. We are eating too much while others starve.
486
Unless one is able to live fully in the present, the future is a hoax.
487
No matter what has happened to you in the past or what is going on in your life right now, it has no power to keep you from having an amazingly good future if you will walk by faith in God. God loves you! He wants you to live with victory over sin so you can possess His promises for your life today!
488
We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker‘s dam is the history we make today.
489
A live concert to me is exciting because of all the electricity that is generated in the crowd and on stage. It’s my favorite part of the business, live concerts.
490
Life is a terminal condition. Were all going to die. Cancer patients just have more information, but we all, in some ways, wait for permission to live.
491
Money doesn’t mean anything to me. I’ve made a lot of money, but I want to enjoy life and not stress myself building my bank account. I give lots away and live simply, mostly out of a suitcase in hotels. We all know that good health is much more important.
492
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
493
It is by acts and not by ideas that people live.
494
I live by a hill. I began walking it and then I began jogging it and then I began sprinting it.
495
Now I believe I can hear the philosophers protesting that it can only be misery to live in folly, illusion, deception and ignorance, but it isn’t -it’s human.
496
Because you are women, people will force their thinking on you, their boundaries on you. They will tell you how to dress, how to behave, who you can meet and where you can go. Don’t live in the shadows of people’s judgement. Make your own choices in the light of your own wisdom.
497
I have a personal ambition to live my life honestly and honor the true love that I’ve had and also the people I’ve had around me. I want to stay hopeful, even though I get scared about why we’re even alive at all.
498
To be able to look back upon one’s past life with satisfaction is to live twice.
499
Marriage has no guarantees. If that’s what you’re looking for, go live with a car battery.
500
The essence of philosophy is that a man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things.
501
Contemplation often makes life miserable. We should act more, think less, and stop watching ourselves live.
502
When it comes to your partner, you have to choose the right person, knowing you can live with them for the rest of your life, learn from each other and grow in every way.
503
If you live long enough, you’ll experience everything.
Robert Torricelli
504
We don’t have the luxury of time. We spend more because of how we live, but it’s important to be with our family and friends.
505
We live in this era that has benefited from the Industrial Revolution, and we live with a kind of luxury and plenty that even all but the poorest of Americans live with a kind of sensuousness that was unimagined by medieval kings. But in order to get to this point, a lot of people had to suffer in really terrible ways.
David Liss
506
Some people never go crazy, What truly horrible lives they must live.
507
Success comes to those who have an entire mountain of gold that they continually mine, not those who find one nugget and try to live on it for fifty years.
508
Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don’t live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
509
Once, during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water.
510
Personally, I just think rap music is the best thing out there, period. If you look at my deck in my car radio, you’re always going to find a hip-hop tape; that’s all I buy, that’s all I live, that’s all I listen to, that’s all I love.
511
One of the things about acting is it allows you to live other people’s lives without having to pay the price.
512
Everybody seems to live rather well down here in Monaco!
513
One’s only rival is one’s own potentialities. One’s only failure is failing to live up to one’s own possibilities. In this sense, every man can be a king, and must therefore be treated like a king.
514
After a natural disaster, safe drinking water is a priority. Humans can live longer without food than water, so communication about clean water is essential to help avoid the risk of cholera, dysentery, malnutrition, famine, and death.
515
For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
516
I think I have a right to live my life the way I like.
517
May you live as long as you want and not want as long as you live.
518
Life is just a bowl of cherries, don’t take it serious, its mysterious. Life is just a bowl of cherries, so live and laugh and laugh at love, love a laugh, laugh and love.
Bob Fosse
519
It is necessary to have wished for death in order to know how good it is to live.
Alexandre Dumas
520
I’ve chosen opportunities where I might fail rather than live in the shadow of my own potential.
521
Men and women must be educated, in a great degree, by the opinions and manners of the society they live in.
522
No matter how many obstacles that are thrown in our path, there are ways to except them and to live through them.
523
America’s future will be determined by the home and the school. The child becomes largely what he is taught; hence we must watch what we teach, and how we live.
Jane Addams
524
If you resolve to give up smoking, drinking and loving, you don’t actually live longer; it just seems longer.
Clement Freud
525
We live in a rainbow of chaos.
526
I live for those who love me, for those who know me true, for the heaven so blue above me, and the good that I can do.
George Linnaeus Banks
527
I’m so thankful to have been born in the times that we live in.
528
I don’t want to lose weight to live long or be healthy. I just want to be able to make fun of fat people again and know for sure that they’re fatter than me.
529
Living is no laughing matter: you must live with great seriousness like a squirrel for example – I mean without looking for something beyond and above living, I mean living must be your whole occupation.
Nazim Hikmet
530
Nothing beats a live performance. Nothing.
531
No house should ever be on a hill or on anything. It should be of the hill. Belonging to it. Hill and house should live together each the happier for the other.
532
Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.
533
If I’m sure of a person and his potential in politics, and if I know he will live up to his promises, I wouldn’t mind campaigning for him. I believe in the dictum, ‘never say never.’ You never know, I might end up joining politics.
534
Man does not live by soap alone; and hygiene, or even health, is not much good unless you can take a healthy view of it or, better still, feel a healthy indifference to it.
535
Either men will learn to live like brothers, or they will die like beasts.
Max Lerner
536
Death is the veil which those who live call life; They sleep, and it is lifted.
537
There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. That magnet is unselfishness, thinking of others first; when you learn to live for others, they will live for you.
538
Women – always in trouble with them, but can’t live without them.
539
Nobody has ever before asked the nuclear family to live all by itself in a box the way we do. With no relatives, no support, we’ve put it in an impossible situation.
540
There’s a reason I live in the Maine woods, where nobody knows what I do for a living. I think you can be better if someone who’s coming to see you perform has no idea who you really are.
541
We all die. The goal isn’t to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.
542
Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die.
543
I live in a village where people still care about each other, largely.
544
If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships – the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace.
545
My mama always used to tell me: ‘If you can’t find somethin’ to live for, you best find somethin’ to die for.’
546
Loving people live in a loving world. Hostile people live in a hostile world. Same world.
547
Most of us have two lives: the life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance.
Steven Pressfield
548
I consider myself a poet first and a musician second. I live like a poet and I’ll die like a poet.
549
I intend to live forever, or die trying.
550
If I’d known I was going to live this long, I’d have taken better care of myself.
Eubie Blake
551
I have learned that as long as I hold fast to my beliefs and values – and follow my own moral compass – then the only expectations I need to live up to are my own.
552
You live as long as you dance.
Rudolf Nureyev
553
I collect art, and I drink wine… things that I like that I had never been exposed to. But I never said, ‘I’m going to buy art to impress this crowd.’ That’s just ridiculous to me. I don’t live my life like that, because how could you be happy with yourself?
554
The obsession with suicide is characteristic of the man who can neither live nor die, and whose attention never swerves from this double impossibility.
555
As long as you live, keep learning how to live.
556
The sole and basic source of our strength is the solidarity of workers, peasants and the intelligentsia, the solidarity of the nation, the solidarity of people who seek to live in dignity, truth, and in harmony with their conscience.
557
Study as if you were going to live forever; live as if you were going to die tomorrow.
558
The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.
559
Every one desires to live long, but no one would be old.
560
You know how fighting fish do it? They blow bubbles and in each one of those bubbles is an egg and they float the egg up to the surface. They keep this whole heavy nest of eggs floating, and they’re constantly repairing it. It’s as if they live in both elements.
561
One can live in the shadow of an idea without grasping it.
562
Children should be able to live a life free from bullying and harassment and it is time that we all took a stand against this.
563
Tragedy is a tool for the living to gain wisdom, not a guide by which to live.
564
Live your life fom your heart. Share from your heart. And your story will touch and heal people’s souls.
565
A lie cannot live.
566
We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.
567
In this life, we have to make many choices. Some are very important choices. Some are not. Many of our choices are between good and evil. The choices we make, however, determine to a large extent our happiness or our unhappiness, because we have to live with the consequences of our choices.
568
Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier.
569
It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and well and justly. And it is impossible to live wisely and well and justly without living a pleasant life.
Epicurus
570
When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing, then we truly live.
Greg Anderson
571
Your heaviest artillery will be your will to live. Keep that big gun going.
572
Sometimes you have to stand up for what’s right, and sometimes that may be ruffling feathers and may be frowned upon by everyone else, but at the end of the day in your heart, knowing you’re on the right side of history and knowing that you did the right thing, good or bad, you have to live with that.
573
Good food is healthy food. Food is supposed to sustain you so you can live better, not so you can eat more. Some people eat to live, and some people live to eat.
574
All work is noble; the only ignoble thing is to live without working. There is need to realize the value of work in all its forms whether manual or intellectual, to be called ‘mate,’ to have sympathetic understanding of all forms of activity.
575
Life is short. You’ve got to live your dreams.
576
In war, you win or lose, live or die – and the difference is just an eyelash.
577
I choose to live, not just exist.
578
Our behavior toward each other is the strangest, most unpredictable, and most unaccountable of all the phenomena with which we are obliged to live. In all of nature, there is nothing so threatening to humanity as humanity itself.
579
You have the freedom to live and let live, to love and let love. Granting yourself that freedom is one of the healthiest, most constructive things you can do for yourself and the people who matter to you.
580
There are good people who are dealt a bad hand by fate, and bad people who live long, comfortable, privileged lives. A small twist of fate can save or end a life; random chance is a permanent, powerful player in each of our lives, and in human history as well.
581
The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government, is to live under the government of worse men.
582
It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him.
583
I’m gonna live till I die.
584
As long as I live, I will never forget that day 21 years ago when I raised my hand and took the oath of citizenship. Do you know how proud I was? I was so proud that I walked around with an American flag around my shoulders all day long.
585
The streets of India are not safe for children, and every year, thousands are forced to live on the streets, avoiding being kidnapped or worse.
586
The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds, and the pessimist fears this is true.
James Branch Cabell
587
Virtue is a state of war, and to live in it we have always to combat with ourselves.
588
I still live, I still think: I still have to live, for I still have to think.
589
War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other’s children.
590
Sad things happen. They do. But we don’t need to live sad forever.
591
The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
592
We are biological creatures. We are born, we live, we die. There is no transcendent purpose to existence. At best we are creatures of reason, and by using reason we can cure ourselves of emotional excess. Purged of both hope and fear, we find courage in the face of helplessness, insignificance and uncertainty.
593
Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.
Ashley Smith
594
To live is to think.
595
I’m a bit of a gypsy. I live everywhere; I live out of a bag.
596
We make war that we may live in peace.
597
May you live as long as you want and not want as long as you live.
598
Life is not an easy matter… You cannot live through it without falling into frustration and cynicism unless you have before you a great idea which raises you above personal misery, above weakness, above all kinds of perfidy and baseness.
599
The moment of victory is much too short to live for that and nothing else.
600
We live in a society that wants to label you with a color, sexuality, religion, or ethnicity. It divides us, but it also allows us to find pride in our identity.
601
You have no idea how hard it is to live out a great romance.
Wallis Simpson
602
When men speak ill of thee, live so as nobody may believe them.
603
Tough times don’t last. Tough people do. I preach that, and I guess you have to live to it.
604
Live one day at a time emphasizing ethics rather than rules.
605
I think about the Arabs not as enemies but as cousins. Even when we are in a fierce conflict with them, they are more of a kind of family – with all the problems of a family. We have to live with them.
606
After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn’t do it. I sure as hell wouldn’t want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military.
607
I can’t solve the world’s problems, can’t even begin to contemplate them all. But on my little corner of Earth, I at least can try to live in a way that treads lightly.
John Grogan
608
If you would be known, and not know, vegetate in a village; if you would know, and not be known, live in a city.
609
The ADA is the living testament to our Nation’s commitment that we will always stand up for our neighbors‘ right to live fulfilling lives.
610
Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.
611
Wealthy men can’t live in an island that is encircled by poverty. We all breathe the same air. We must give a chance to everyone, at least a basic chance.
612
They always say, ‘Time heals.’ But it really doesn’t. You just get used to it. I live life with the mentality of ‘OK, I lost the only thing that has ever been important to me.’ So going forward, anything bad that happens can’t be nearly as bad as what happened before.
613
You can live your life angry, bitter, mad at somebody or even guilty, not letting go of your own mistakes, but you won’t receive the good things God has in store.
614
It’s impossible to move, to live, to operate at any level without leaving traces, bits, seemingly meaningless fragments of personal information.
615
The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation’s history. I mean in this century‘s history. But we all lived in this century. I didn’t live in this century.
