I am not young enough to know everything.

The happiest is the person who suffers the least pain; the most miserable who enjoys the least pleasure.

In every tragedy, an element of comedy is preserved. Comedy is just tragedy reversed.

Doing nothing is happiness for children and misery for old men.

The worldly comforts are not for me. I am like a traveller, who takes rest under a tree in the shade and then goes on his way.

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex, the ugly ones included

There is no worse bitterness than to reach the end of your life and realized you have not lived.

Too much of a good thing can be wonderful!

Life is not an exact science, it is an art.

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

The life of inner peace, being harmonious and without stress, is the easiest type of existence.

Without a measureless and perpetual uncertainty, the drama of human life would be destroyed.

It is not the length of life, but the depth.

Every day brings a chance to live free of regret and with as much joy, fun, and laughter as you can stand.

Life is too short for long-term grudges.

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.

History is the devil's scripture.

The historian looks backward. In the end he also believes backward.

There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.

Eventually all things fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moments, and know everything happens for a reason.
