We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from life.

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

Not life, but good life, is to be chiefly valued.

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

I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.

Life is much shorter than I imagined it to be.

There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way.

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

We are all here for a spell, get all the good laughs you can.

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.
