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

A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and life is after all a chain.

What is important in life is life, and not the result of life.

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

Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.

The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.

I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.

If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.
