Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.

The highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money do more for the betterment of life.

The happiness of this life depends less on what befalls you than the way in which you take it.

Life is like a trumpet - if you don't put anything into it, you don't get anything out of it.

Faith means living with uncertainty - feeling your way through life, letting your heart guide you like a lantern in the dark.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.

The happiness of this life depends less on what befalls you than the way in which you take it.

Part of the secret of a success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.

Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.
