Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.

I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It's all a question of how I view my life.

I have no idea what's awaiting me, or what will happen when this all ends. For the moment I know this: there are sick people and they need curing.

Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.

In the survival of favoured individuals and races, during the constantly-recurring struggle for existence, we see a powerful and ever-acting form of selection.

As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.

If it is worth doing, it is worth overdoing.

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough

Life is a journey, not a destination.

As you go through life, you've got to see the valleys as well as the peaks.

In the end, everything is a gag.

The first forty years of life give us the text; the next thirty supply the commentary on it.

I can't wait to figure out what is wrong with me, so I can say this is the way that I used to be.

I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them.

Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.

Life can be pulled by goals just as surely as it can be pushed by drives.

Live to the point of tears.

If you have been sunned through and through like an apricot on a wall from your earliest days, you are oversensitive to any withdrawal of heat.

Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.
