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

Freedom means you are unobstructed in living your life as you choose. Anything less is a form of slavery.

A chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us.

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

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

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

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.

All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.

There is just one life for each of us: our own.

Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits.
