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

Life itself is the proper binge.

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

The main facts in human life are five: birth, food, sleep, love and death.

We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

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

My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.

Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.

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

Life is much shorter than I imagined it to be.
