It was my care to make my life illustrious not by words more than by deeds.

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

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

Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.

In the end, everything is a gag.

He had the look of one who had drunk the cup of life and found a dead beetle at the bottom.

Mastery of the emotions is fundamental to a virtuous life.

There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.

Life is a disease, brother, and death begins already at birth. Every breath, every heartbeat, is a moment of dying - a little shove toward the end.

The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.

The future is the shape of things to come.

The more you live in the present moment, the more the fear of death disappears.

Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn

All that is not eternal is eternally out of date.

I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it.

I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.

I believe that the very purpose of our life is to seek happiness. That is clear. Whether one believes in religion or not, whether one believes in this religion or that religion, we all are seeking something better in life. So, I think, the very motion of our life is towards happiness

I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday.

Live for yourself and you will live in vain;Live for others, and you will live again.

What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?

The joy in life is his who has the heart to demand it.
