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

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

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

We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from life.

People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.

Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.

Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.

Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.

The less routine the more life.

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