The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.

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

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

This life is worth living, we can say, since it is what we make it.

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.

The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.

Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.

Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.

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