Life is a succession of moments, to live each one is to succeed.

With the past, I have nothing to do nor with the future. I live now.

Life is too short to work so hard.

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

Life is like a trumpet - if you don't put anything into it, you don't get anything out of it.

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.

March on. Do not tarry. To go forward is to move toward perfection. March on, and fear not the thorns, or the sharp stones on life's path.

The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.

A healthful hunger for a great idea is the beauty and blessedness of life.
