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

As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.

It is one of the beautiful compensations in this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

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

The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line.

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

March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

Life in abundance comes only through great love.

Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.
