Life will always be to a large extent what we ourselves make it.

Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.

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

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

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.

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

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

Friendship is the shadow of the evening, which increases with the setting sun of life.

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