Not life, but good life, is to be chiefly valued.

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith.

There is only one difference between a long life and a good dinner: that, in the dinner, the sweets come last.

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.
