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

A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things. There will be sleeping enough in the grave.

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

There is only one difference between a long life and a good dinner: that, in the dinner, the sweets come last.

We can't plan life. All we can do is be available for it.

Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.

The art of life is to know how to enjoy a little and to endure very much.

Life must be lived as play.

Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.

You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.
