To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.

To know nothing is the happiest life.

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

Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits.

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

Life will always be to a large extent what we ourselves make it.

The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.

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

Life is like dancing. If we have a big floor, many people will dance. Some will get angry when the rhythm changes. But life is changing all the time.
