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.

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.

Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts.

Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.

Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.

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

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

I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it.

Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.
