Some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield.

The future is the shape of things to come.

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

Luxury is not a necessity to me, but beautiful and good things are.

Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must.

That's the trouble with the world. We all despise ourselves.

You never know what life is like, until you have lived it.

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

Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.

Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are the dead.

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

I think it can be shown that the law makes ten criminals where it restrains one.

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

Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

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

How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.

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

What goes up must come down.

Life always waits for some crisis to occur before revealing itself at its most brilliant.
