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

Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law.

Don't cry for a man who's left you - the next one may fall for your smile.

Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.

Being a hero is about the shortest-lived profession on earth.

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.

There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.

Dictators ride to and fro upon tigers which they dare not dismount. And the tigers are getting hungry.

Life did not intend to make us perfect. Whoever is perfect belongs in a museum.

There is no worse bitterness than to reach the end of your life and realized you have not lived.

Imagination and fiction make up more than three quarters of our real life.

One man with a gun can control 100 without one.
