Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.

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

Life is but thought.

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

Once you say you're going to settle for second, that's what happens to you in life.

To know nothing is the happiest life.

For the happiest life, days should be rigorously planned, nights left open to chance.

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

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