Every true man, sir, who is a little above the level of the beasts and plants does not live for the sake of living, without knowing how to live; but he lives so as to give a meaning and a value of his own to life.

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told y an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

Life is too short for men to take it seriously.

Living well and beautifully and justly are all one thing.

As wise women and men in every culture tell us: The art of life is not controlling what happens to us, but using what happens to us.

Life imitates art far more than art imitates life.

The four stages of man are infancy, childhood, adolescence and obsolescence.

For the complete life, the perfect pattern includes old age as well as youth and maturity.

Someone once sent me a marvellous postcard. It said: 'Knock hard. Life is deaf.'

Everything has been figured out except how to live.
