I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it.

To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance.

The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line.

Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

Life is but thought.

To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance.

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

The happiness of this life depends less on what befalls you than the way in which you take it.

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