Never build your emotional life on the weaknesses of others.

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

My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.

There is just one life for each of us: our own.

Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.

The less routine the more life.

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

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

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

There are three constants in life... change, choice and principles.
