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

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

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.

The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.

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

The truth is you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed.

A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things. There will be sleeping enough in the grave.

The art of life is to know how to enjoy a little and to endure very much.

Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?

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.
