Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.

I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it.

You must pass your days in song. Let your whole life be a song.

Life is very interesting... in the end, some of your greatest pains, become your greatest strengths.

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

Life consists in what a man is thinking of all day.

To know nothing is the happiest life.

As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.

The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line.

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