Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

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.

Life must be lived as play.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Never build your emotional life on the weaknesses of others.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

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

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

Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.
