There is life experience, which gives nothing but rust on the joints and scale on the soul.

... The longer you live, the higher the barrier of youth rises.

To live and hope is healthy! And as long as your train is rolling, the last wagon of hope will flash by.

Every person has a fatal point when life could take a different path.

… one and the same piece of life has two dimensions: in reality and in memories.

The measure of life is not in duration, but in how you use it.

We learn to live when life has already been lived.

We understand how to live when our life has already passed.

The true mirror of our way of thinking is our life.

Whether the events of life are good or bad depends largely on how we perceive them.

Life itself is neither good nor evil: it is a container for both good and evil, depending on what you yourself have turned it into.

Life is a song, and its refrain is death.

Our life passes in our absence: we are always between remembrance and hope.

Life is short, but a person relives it in his children.

Life seems short to us only because we thoughtlessly apply to it the measure of our frivolous hopes.

To live means to act.

No matter how much we talk about the emptiness of life, sometimes just one flower is enough to dissuade us.

We should not indulge in regrets about the past, complain about changes that are a burden to us, for change is a condition of life.

A person does not live all his life, but composes himself, composes himself.

One must love life more than the meaning of life.

Life is eternity, death is but a moment.

Life is not a reward for the vanquished.

To one who lives for the sake of life in the ages, death is not terrible.

Life is a continuous decline! Joy, relatives, friends - everything dies, leaves, slips away.

Life comes from sin, sin from desire, desire from sensation, sensation from contact.

Life is tolerable only on the condition that you always distance yourself from it.

Human life is a lie. Behind every smile there is a yawn, behind every delight there is a curse, behind every pleasure there is disgust, and from a sweet kiss a languishing thirst for new pleasures remains on the lips.

If life were not dying, how beautiful it would be!

What a game of fate is human life! And how strangely the secret springs that govern our instincts change with the change of circumstances! Today we love what tomorrow we will hate; today we are looking for what tomorrow we will avoid. Tomorrow we will tremble at the very thought of what we crave today.

Life hits us in the face. Someday he will be scarred by life.

You can't live in the moment for the rest of your life.

Life is a vacation before death.

If a person begins to be interested in the meaning of life or its value, this means that he is sick.

As life progresses, we learn the limits of our abilities.

The main thing in life is not to regret anything and never look back.

Life is an eternal gluing of fragments.

Life diverts our attention all the time; and we don’t even have time to notice from what exactly.

Life is a short walk before eternal sleep.

Life passes and does not bow like an angry neighbor.

You have to live in such a way that even the bastards remember you.

I was smart enough to live my life stupidly.

Life is short, that's understandable; but compared to what?

Life is a mirage, nevertheless be joyful,
In passion and intoxication, be joyful.
You lived for a moment - and you are no longer there,
But at least for a moment - be joyful!

Because of what has departed, do not curse yourself,
Grab a tuft from a vile life - and do not scold yourself,
As long as the sword is not raised by Rock - live, save yourself.

If you can, do not worry about the running time,
Do not burden your soul with the past or the future.
Spend your treasures while you are alive:
After all, all the same, in that world you will appear poor.

The world is fraught with good and evil at the same time:
Everything that builds is immediately scrapped.
Be fearless, live in the present moment.
Do not worry about the future, do not cry about the past.

Do not envy the one who is strong and rich.
Dawn is always followed by sunset.
With this life short, equal to a sigh,
Treat like a rental.

We will leave without a trace - no names, no signs.
This world will stand still for thousands of years.
We weren't here before, and we won't be here after.
There is no harm or benefit from it.

It makes no sense to lock the door to the future,
There is no point in choosing between good and evil.
The sky throws dice blindly.
Everything that fell out, you have to have time to lose.

You say this life is just a moment.
Appreciate it, draw inspiration from it.
As you spend it, so it will pass,
Don't forget: she is your creation.

Those who are lucky enough to live in this world cannot but know the joy of owning life and not know the sadness of its transience.

The seasons obey an immutable law, but a troublesome person does not cease to doubt and is in vanity all his life.

Quotes and Aphorisms 21.06.2017

As the poet absolutely correctly put it, "we did not teach dialectics according to Hegel." So school years Soviet generation remembered the lines of another mentor, Nikolai Ostrovsky, who insisted: life must be lived in such a way "so that it would not be excruciatingly painful ..." The textbook phrase ended with a call to devote all one's strength to "the struggle for the liberation of mankind."

Decades have passed, and many of us remained grateful to Nikolai Ostrovsky for his personal example of perseverance and for his peculiar aphorisms and quotes about life with meaning. It's not even that they corresponded to that heroic era. No, similar thoughts sounded in the statements of philosophers, historical figures ancient world, and at other times. He just set the highest bar, which is far from achievable for everyone.

However, another thinker at about the same period advised: "Take it higher, the current will carry you anyway." So figuratively Nicholas Roerich explained that lofty goals must be, and then life, Environment will definitely make adjustments. Aphorisms about the life of this great scientist and cultural figure should be studied separately and in detail.

Today I have prepared for you, my dear readers, a selection of a variety of catch phrases that may help us all to take a slightly different look at ourselves, our place in the world, our destiny.

Great about work, creativity, other high meanings

We spend at least a third of our working life on work. In reality, most of us are engaged in affairs for much more time than is delineated by the official daily routine. It is no coincidence that aphorisms and quotes about life with the meaning of great people and the statements of our contemporaries are often based precisely on this side of our being.

When work and hobbies coincide or are at least close to each other, when we choose a business we like, it becomes as productive as possible and brings us a lot of positive emotions. The Russian people have created many proverbs and sayings about the role of the craft, a good attitude towards business in everyday life. “He who gets up early, God gives him,” our wise ancestors claimed. And about the lazy people they joked caustically: "They are on the committee for trampling down pavements." Let's see what aphorisms about life and life values left us as a guide to action by the sages different eras and peoples.

Loneliness and the crowd, death and eternity

Aphorisms about life with meaning cannot pass by the theme of death, loneliness, everything that scares us and attracts us at the same time. To look there, behind the curtain of life, beyond the brink of existence, a person tries all his centuries-old history. We are trying to comprehend the secrets of the cosmos, but we know so little about ourselves!
