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

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

Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.

The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.

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

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