As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.

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

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

What is important in life is life, and not the result of life.

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

If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life define yourself.

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.

Every man dies. Not every man really lives.
