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

The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.

A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

Our life is what our thoughts make it.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.

Life is very interesting... in the end, some of your greatest pains, become your greatest strengths.

For the happiest life, days should be rigorously planned, nights left open to chance.

Life is either a great adventure or nothing.
