My art and profession is to live.

The more I see, the less I know for sure.

To live is to choose. But to choose well, you must know who you are and what you stand for, where you want to go and why you want to get there.

The great mistake is to anticipate the outcome of the engagement; you ought not to be thinking of whether it ends in victory or defeat. Let nature take its course, and your tools will strike at the right moment.

Short as life is, we make it still shorter by the careless waste of time.

The love of life is necessary to the vigorous prosecution of any undertaking.

Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.

One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.

Those who are easily shocked should be shocked more often.

Do what's right for you, as long as it don't hurt no one

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

You can give in to the failure messages and be a bitter deadbeat of excuses. Or you can choose to be happy and positive and excited about life.

If I get married, I want to be very married.

I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it.

I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.

Of all the diversions of life, there is none so proper to fill up its empty spaces as the reading of useful and entertaining authors.

The reality of the building does not consist in the roof and walls, but in the space within to be lived in.

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must.

Life must be lived as play.
