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.

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.

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

Don't go through life, grow through life.

You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.

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

Most people have never learned that one of the main aims in life is to enjoy it.
