I have always regarded myself as the pillar of my life.

Each man should frame life so that at some future hour fact and his dreaming meet.

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

During the first period of a man's life the greatest danger is not to take the risk.

Is it not enough that 'things are cruel and blind'? Must we also be cruel and blind?

Living is Easy with Eyes Closed.

In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed

A life not lived for others is not a life.

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

Everything passes. Nobody gets anything for keeps. And that's how we've got to live.

There are two things a person should never be angry at, what they can help, and what they cannot.

We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.

Life is like a library owned by the author. In it are a few books which he wrote himself, but most of them were written for him.

When making your choice in life, do not neglect to live.

My life didn't please me, so I created my life.

In the end, everything is a gag.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.
