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

Life is but thought.

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

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

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

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

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.

The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes.

To know nothing is the happiest life.

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.
