The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.

I take a simple view of life. It is keep your eyes open and get on with it.

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

We can't plan life. All we can do is be available for it.

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

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

All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.

With the past, I have nothing to do nor with the future. I live now.

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

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