A chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us.

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

Freedom means you are unobstructed in living your life as you choose. Anything less is a form of slavery.

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

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

One of the secrets of life is that all that is really worth the doing is what we do for others.

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

Not life, but good life, is to be chiefly valued.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
