Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

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

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

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

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

Life consists in what a man is thinking of all day.

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

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

Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay.

I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.
