Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.

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

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

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

Remember when life's path is steep to keep your mind even.

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

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

Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.

Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.

Life must be lived as play.
