Time overestimates everything!

“Still, life is an amazing thing, especially when you live regularly.” There is something in this statement, especially if you look at what every third thinks now, what is the meaning of life, and every second does not understand why he lives at all. Maybe then the best quotes about life will be able to dispel a little the fog of doubts and unnecessary questions?

Life is…

A Japanese detective writer said: "A person's life is like a box of matches: taking it seriously is funny, but not serious is dangerous." In some ways, he is really right, because different situations happen in life, and if everything that happened is taken too close to heart, then you can easily become discouraged. And while a person will be in this state, life will quickly sweep past. But at the same time, you should not let everything take its course, because then life will turn into an aimless existence. And in confirmation of the above, we can cite the statement of John Newman: “One should not be afraid that life will someday end, one should be afraid that it will never begin.”

It is often insisted on life that human existence is a game, a circus or a theater. And whoever wants, so it perceives. But no one can argue with the statement that "a person is the master of his life, and what kind of master he is, such is his life."

What is the sense of life?

Life is a series of events that happen to a person. They can be taken for granted, you can look for hidden subtext or just enjoy what is happening. Someone once said that when a person begins to understand what the meaning of life is, then life loses all meaning. But at this very moment, everything is just beginning. Human existence should be filled with meaning, and the best quotes about the meaning of life say that everyone has his own:

  • Albert Einstein: "Only that life can be called worthy, which was lived for the sake of other people."
  • L. Smith: “The meaning of human life lies in two things: to achieve what you want, and to enjoy it. True, only the wise can do the second task.
  • A.P. Chekhov: "The meaning of life lies in the struggle."
  • V. O. Klyuchevsky: “Life is not about living, but about feeling alive.”
  • G. Hesse: "The meaning of our stay in this world is to think, look for and listen to distant sounds, because behind them lies the homeland."
  • L. N. Tolstoy: “If you try to briefly express the meaning of life, then it can be defined as follows: the world around is in constant motion and improvement. The main task of a person is to contribute to this movement, to submit to changes and cooperate with them.

This is what makes sense

No matter how different the best quotes about life and its meaning are, they all say the same thing: the meaning of life is to be happy. But, only by filling your existence with meaning, you can know true happiness. In the film "Fight Club" the following words were once heard: "Get out of your apartment. Make new acquaintances. Stop buying things you don't need. Leave work, provoke a fight. Prove that you live. If you do not declare your rights to humanity, then you can turn into figures of statistical reports. This statement can be safely written down in the best quotes about life with meaning. Perhaps it sounds ambiguous, but it perfectly shows that the main thing in life is to feel its course, to feel its meaning and learn to enjoy it.

The value of life

However, one cannot feel the fullness of being without knowing the value of existence itself. Good quotes about life with meaning always speak of its value:

  • N. Chernyshevsky: "Life is sweet to a person, because only with it is his happiness, hope and joy."
  • T. Dreiser: "The main thing in life is life itself."
  • Jean de La Bruyère: "People do not want to preserve anything like that and do not cherish anything so mercilessly as their own life."
  • F. Bacon: "There is no more terrible person than the one who does not value his life."

The eternal value that is given only once is the opportunity to exist in this world. This is a great gift, not a curse, because it depends only on a person how he will live his fate: devalue it and will exist or fill it with meaning.

Through the barricades

Not everyone is born equal, but everyone has the freedom to choose. It is foolish to seek your happiness, you need to become its source, and even a little about life, but you must show that life is a movement. After all, only the one who moves forward, gets up after each fall, stubbornly strives for a cherished dream, truly lives:

  • Michel Montaigne: "A person who believes in what he can become determines who he will become in the future."
  • Sharon Stone: "It doesn't matter how a person falls, it matters how he rises."
  • Confucius: "Glory consists not in never making mistakes, but in admitting and correcting one's mistakes."
  • Omar Khayyam: "He who has lost his fighting spirit dies prematurely."
  • Oliver Goldsmith: "Happy life and glory are not destined for those who never fall, but for those who constantly get up."

Man can do everything! Only he can change his destiny. And it depends only on him whether these changes will be positive or negative.

Every night ends in the morning

As Arthur Schopenhauer once said, “To the young, life appears as an endless future, and to the old, as a short past.” In reality, the time of a person's stay in this world is limited, like a fleeting moment. And what then remains for each of us? Probably think of a reason to live. After all, as Faina Ranevskaya said, "the main thing is to live a living life, and not get lost in the labyrinths of memory." The best quotes about life cannot answer all the questions a person faces. But they give good answers to age-old questions. What is its meaning? How should one live?

Analyzing reviews

Quotes are not just a beautiful lace of words, they all have a certain impact on the public. If we analyze user reviews on popular quote sites, then of all the statements presented, aphorisms about the meaning of life and perseverance in achieving one's own goal deserve more attention. Quotes about the value of life have the least "success". The reason for such a resonance is simple - every person wants to be happy, so he subconsciously looks for something that can inspire him to exploits and show what the meaning of life is hidden in.

And, summing up, we can say only one thing: everything ingenious is simple. Life is a gift, and its meaning is to be happy. And everyone has their own happiness, someone likes to do something for the sake of others, someone wants to take an active part in improving the world, and someone just needs to contemplate the beauty of the environment. You just need to find something that brings joy, and fill every day with this joy. Only then will a person be able to realize that his existence is not an accidental absurdity, but a real gift of fate.


There is something that has a special magic not to depend on us! What's this? Time! And no matter how much we want, no matter how we strive, no matter how much effort we put in, time is not interested in us, or our opinion, or what the days and years are doing to us! This is an indicator of the highest power that exists in this world. It is this concept that rules everything and always, and even our life is subject to it! And that is why there are the sharpest statements about him, he has always been spoken of with special admiration and reverence. Here you will find quotes about time. We will show the phrases of great people about time, what they thought and how they treated it.

We would like to tell you about those words and sayings that can characterize the time:

  • Einstein gave his opinion on such a constantly fickle concept;
  • What are the opinions about time and love;
  • The saying that time flies imperceptibly for a person.
Everything has its own biography. It's just that time doesn't have it. It is difficult to imagine that time was once born. And before that? Didn't he exist? Is it possible? Catchphrases help to understand the definition of this concept and its meaning for people.

Great quotes

How often quotes about time show that we do not understand its course, transience, its influence and its price. Some people say that time is money. And another argues that time is priceless. And one of the greatest scientists of the Universe, Einstein, who is accustomed to analyze everything, understand and check the facts, suddenly announced to the whole world that what he so often used as a quantity, on which all his famous theories are based, which turned the understanding of this world, is just… an illusion! Yes Yes! Delusion, deceit, fantasy and phantom! This is how reference publications characterize the word "illusion".


If Einstein knew what he was talking about, then how can this "fantasy" influence us so inexorably that people, not wanting it, begin to plan their short days and lives, writing down minutes, hours and years? But there are other characteristics, other aphorisms about time. Not only Einstein, but philosophers of different times and cultures have expressed their opinion. What these extraordinary personalities thought, and how they will help us to expand this concept, it will become clear from the words they said about time with meaning.

Three things never come back: Time, Word, Opportunity. So... do not waste time, choose your words, do not miss the opportunity.
(Confucius) Child's hour longer than an old man's day.
(Arthur Schopenhauer) A day to look at like a little life.
(Maksim Gorky) Don't waste your time man who does not seek to spend it with you.
(Gabriel Marquez) True love is not that endures long years of separation, and the one that endures long years of intimacy.
(Helen Rowland) The word "tomorrow" is coined for indecisive people and for children.
(Ivan Turgenev)



There is time to work and there is a time to love. There is no other time left.
(Coco Chanel)

Happy watch is not observed.
(Alexander Griboyedov) Everything comes in due time for those who know how to wait.
(Honore de Balzac) Time- money.
(Benjamin Franklin) Time is sand. Life is water. Words are wind... Be careful with these components... So that it doesn't turn out - dirt...

Beautiful and meaningful

In contrast to Einstein's opinion of a vague, almost mysterious illusion, other thinkers gave time more importance and defined it in very clear outlines. Such diverse views provide the most voluminous information and reveal all the possibilities that time has, quotes help to see this.


Someone gives healing properties to this concept, saying that time heals. The author understands exactly how important it is sometimes to be patient, waiting for changes. Like a pill taken, the passed period should affect the well-being and circumstances of people if misfortunes fall upon them. The same principles guide people who expect something good from life, but for a long time do not have what they want.

Time strengthens friendship but weakens love.
(Jean La Bruyère) It's stupid to plan for life, without being master even of tomorrow.
(Seneca) Life is a very short time between two eternities.
(Carlyle Thomas) time passes, that's the trouble. The past grows and the future shrinks. There are less and less chances to do something - and all the more offensive for what I did not have time to do.
(Haruki Murakami)

The time will come, when you decide it's over. This will be the beginning.
(Louis Lamour)


And whatever happens to us TOMORROW...
We have TODAY and NOW in stock!

To find out the price of the year, ask the student who failed the exam.

To find out the price of a month, ask a mother who has given birth prematurely.

For weekly pricing, ask the weekly editor.

To know the price of an hour, ask a lover who is waiting for his beloved.

To find out the price of a minute, ask a latecomer to the train.

To find out the value of a second, ask someone who has lost a loved one in a car accident.

For the price of one thousandth of a second, ask an Olympic silver medalist.

The hands of the clock won't stop running. So cherish every moment of your life. And appreciate today as the greatest gift that you have been given.
(Bernard Werber. Empire of Angels)

The common man thinks how to pass the time. A smart person thinks about how to use time. Every minute when you get mad at someone, you lose 60 seconds of happiness that you will never get back.
(Ralph Waldo Emerson) Time is like a mosquito: it's good to kill him with a book.
(Konstantin Melikhan) All that matters does not happen urgently. Anything that is urgent is just vanity.
(Xiang Tzu)
Among the statements there are also about love. These topics have been intertwined for centuries, since there is no time limit for eternal feelings, and you cannot limit them even to a lifetime. Some still keep freshness, as if we are talking about modern people and their feelings.


Is it possible to find the day, hour, year? Nobody heard about it. But there are cases of lost time, when it was wasted by those who did not appreciate it. It is no coincidence that in the modern world there is a really operating organization that has put minutes above money. And in it you can get services under certain conditions. And usefully spent time is a good use of it, which characterizes it with dignity.

About the transience of life

Aphorisms about time and its swiftness are probably the most famous and widespread. These words are the best, they tell about its main features. After all, sooner or later, but every person thinks about how quickly his life has flown by. I want to find an explanation for this, and understand what the meaning of existence is.

There are many such expressions, since each of us wants to give an assessment of the lived period and outlined plans for the future. Any such quote only confirms in the thought that life is fleeting, and plans and ideas are always not enough of these. But this understanding does not always come in time. That is why the experience of those who came to such an idea and shared it is invaluable.

Use every moment, so as not to repent later and not to regret that he missed his youth.
(Paulo Coelho) You are too busy what was and what will be... The sages say: the past is forgotten, the future is closed, the present is bestowed. That's why it's called real.
("Kung Fu Panda") Don't say you don't have time. You have exactly the same amount of time as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, Pasteur, Helen Keller, Albert Einstein had.
(Jackson Brown)


Between success and failure lies the abyss, whose name is "I have no time."
(Franklin Field)

Time lost with pleasure, is not considered lost.
(John Lennon) Yesterday- this is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today's gift!
(Alice Morse Earl)
Time flew like a bird. It can't be stopped or brought back. And how you spend your life will show whether you were wise enough to learn from the experience of those who shared their observations. This truthful collection, which is presented on our website, is saturated with the magic of real people, where each fate is an invaluable lesson for all those who are looking for an explanation of who we are, what and where our life goes, what things we considered more important for ourselves, what we paid attention to they have so much meaning.


Life is always happening now. Get comfortable in the present moment...
