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

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

Life is like dancing. If we have a big floor, many people will dance. Some will get angry when the rhythm changes. But life is changing all the time.

A chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us.

Freedom means you are unobstructed in living your life as you choose. Anything less is a form of slavery.

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

Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor.

The only disability in life is a bad attitude.

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

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.
