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.

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

What is important in life is life, and not the result of life.

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.

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

To know nothing is the happiest life.

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

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.

If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of.
