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

Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.

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

When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.

Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.

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 life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

Never build your emotional life on the weaknesses of others.

You must pass your days in song. Let your whole life be a song.

The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.
