With the past, I have nothing to do nor with the future. I live now.

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

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.

As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.

Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?

It is one of the beautiful compensations in this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

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

Not life, but good life, is to be chiefly valued.

A chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.
