Never build your emotional life on the weaknesses of others.

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

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.

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

To know nothing is the happiest life.

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.

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

A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.

For the happiest life, days should be rigorously planned, nights left open to chance.

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