The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line.

We are all here for a spell, get all the good laughs you can.

Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.

Every man dies. Not every man really lives.

There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way.

A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things. There will be sleeping enough in the grave.

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

Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts.

This life is worth living, we can say, since it is what we make it.

You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.
