Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.

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

Life is very interesting... in the end, some of your greatest pains, become your greatest strengths.

A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.
