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.

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

For the happiest life, days should be rigorously planned, nights left open to chance.

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.

Life isn't a matter of milestones, but of moments.

This life is worth living, we can say, since it is what we make it.

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.

Life is much shorter than I imagined it to be.

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.

When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.
