Every man dies. Not every man really lives.

Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.

Life will always be to a large extent what we ourselves make it.

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

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.

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

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

Remember when life's path is steep to keep your mind even.

To change ones life: Start immediately. Do it flamboyantly.

We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
