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

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.

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

Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.

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

Never build your emotional life on the weaknesses of others.

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

There is only one difference between a long life and a good dinner: that, in the dinner, the sweets come last.

The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes.

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