To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone.

From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life.

If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.

Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.

One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.

Live life to the fullest, and focus on the positive.

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you'll start to see a big difference in your life.

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

It's a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.
