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

The art of life is to know how to enjoy a little and to endure very much.

I had no blood relatives till I made some.

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

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

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

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

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

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

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