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.

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.

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

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

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

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

The art of life is to know how to enjoy a little and to endure very much.

One of the secrets of life is that all that is really worth the doing is what we do for others.
