The rich will do anything for the poor but get off their backs.

I have always regarded myself as the pillar of my life.

Blessed be Providence which has given to each his toy: the doll to the child, the child to the woman, the woman to the man, the man to the devil!

The future is the shape of things to come.

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

We all learn lessons in life. Some stick, some don't. I have always learned more from rejection and failure than from acceptance and success.

Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion.

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

The 'good old times'-all times, when old, are good.

I'm never going to be disabled. I'm sick of being so healthy.

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.

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

Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.

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

Life is the dancer and you are the dance.

Anybody can dig a hole and plant a tree. But make sure it survives. You have to nurture it, you have to water it, you have to keep at it until it becomes rooted so it can take care or itself. There are so many enemies of trees.

A hospital bed is a parked taxi with the meter running.

Life will not break your heart. It'll crush it.

The less you know, the more you believe.

To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice.

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