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

Your daily life is your temple and your religion. When you enter into it take with you your all.

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

We can't plan life. All we can do is be available for it.

A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.

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.

Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor.

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

Each person must live their life as a model for others.

The happiness of this life depends less on what befalls you than the way in which you take it.
