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

Life is like a trumpet - if you don't put anything into it, you don't get anything out of it.

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.

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

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

Every man dies. Not every man really lives.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life define yourself.

There is only one difference between a long life and a good dinner: that, in the dinner, the sweets come last.

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