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

Blessed be Providence which has given to each his toy: the doll to the child, the child to the woman, the woman to the man, the man to the devil!

Time is the best killer.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Life is a journey, not a destination.

Work harder on yourself than you do on your job.

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

It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually.

We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.

To one extent, if you've seen one city slum, you've seen them all.

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid.

Wrinkles should merely indicate where the smiles have been.

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

A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.

There is one common struggle against those who have appropriated the earth, the money, and the machines.

Nothing in life is more remarkable than the unnecessary anxiety which we endure, and generally create ourselves.

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being.
