For the happiest life, days should be rigorously planned, nights left open to chance.

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

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

Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.

Every man dies. Not every man really lives.

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.

Life lived for tomorrow will always be just a day away from being realized.

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.

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 only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.
