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

Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.

The happiness of this life depends less on what befalls you than the way in which you take it.

Everything has been figured out, except how to live.

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

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.

My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.

The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.
