The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy.

I have a simple philosophy: Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches.

People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.

The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.

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

The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.

It is better to create than to learn! Creating is the essence of life.

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life define yourself.
