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.

Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.

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

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

Life lived for tomorrow will always be just a day away from being realized.

It is normal to give away a little of one's life in order not to lose it all.

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

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.

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

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