"Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor."
"All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better."
"I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see."
"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first."
"Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact."
"Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life define yourself."
"A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing."
"Life is a song - sing it. Life is a game - play it. Life is a challenge - meet it. Life is a dream - realize it. Life is a sacrifice - offer it. Life is love - enjoy it."
"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on."
