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.

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

What we play is life.

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

Life is too short to work so hard.

Life is a succession of moments, to live each one is to succeed.

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

We can't plan life. All we can do is be available for it.

A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things. There will be sleeping enough in the grave.

To know nothing is the happiest life.
