Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.

To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.

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

The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.

A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things. There will be sleeping enough in the grave.

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

A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.

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

Life is something to do when you can't get to sleep.

All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.
