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

Never build your emotional life on the weaknesses of others.

Where there is love there is life.

The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.

We can't plan life. All we can do is be available for it.

A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.

If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.

To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.

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