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

If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of.

To know nothing is the happiest life.

The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters.

I had no blood relatives till I made some.

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

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

This life is worth living, we can say, since it is what we make it.

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor.
