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

Only he who accepts clashes and conflicts in life, loves life.

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world and the world at large.

Life is too short, or too long, for me to allow myself the luxury of living it so badly.

I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.

Each man should frame life so that at some future hour fact and his dreaming meet.

As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.

If you want to keep your memories, you first have to live them.

You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven.

To forget is the secret of eternal youth. One grows old only through memory. There's much too little forgetting.

The young people think the old people are fools - but the old people know the young people are fools.

Life's a journey, not a destination.

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

The things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those that got there first.

Not all things are to be discovered; many are better concealed.

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

I don't mind living in a man's world, as long as I can be a woman in it.

All my life I used to wonder what I would become when I grew up. Then, about seven years ago, I realized that I was never going to grow up - that growing is an ever ongoing process.

Some people are desperately looking for scapegoats, they just don't want to see the truth!

The future is the shape of things to come.
