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

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

Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.

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.

Life is much shorter than I imagined it to be.

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

Our life is what our thoughts make it.

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.

A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.

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