All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

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

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.

What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I'd realized it sooner.

The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line.

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.

Never build your emotional life on the weaknesses of others.

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