Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it.

This life is worth living, we can say, since it is what we make it.

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

Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.

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

Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor.

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

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

I have a simple philosophy: Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches.

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.
