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.

Truth is a deep kindness that teaches us to be content in our everyday life and share with the people the same happiness.

The art of life is to know how to enjoy a little and to endure very much.

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

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.

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.

Life will always be to a large extent what we ourselves make it.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

It is one of the beautiful compensations in this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.
