I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I’m awake, you know?

One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.

Life is too short for long-term grudges.

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.

Life is essentially a cheat and its conditions are those of defeat; the redeeming things are not happiness and pleasure but the deeper satisfactions that come out of struggle.

I’m really looking forward to seeing what life brings to me.

I’m not afraid to die, I just don’t want to be there when it happens.

Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die.

There will always be something to ruin our lives, it all depends on what or which finds us first. We are always ripe and ready to be taken.

Comedians are sociologists. We’re pointing out stuff that the general public doesn’t even stop to think about, looking at life in slow-motion and questioning everything we see.

Just as courage is the danger of life, so is fear its safeguard.

Only those are fit to live who are not afraid to die.

I pass my life in preventing the storm from blowing down the tent, and I drive in the pegs as fast as they are pulled up.

All theory, dear friend, is gray, but the golden tree of life springs ever green.

I just have an enthusiasm for life.

I don’t think that faith, whatever you’re being faithful about, really can be scientifically explained. And I don’t want to explain this whole life business through truth, science. There’s so much mystery. There’s so much awe.

There are three constants in life… change, choice and principles.

It is better to die than to preserve this life by incurring disgrace. The loss of life causes but a moment’s grief, but disgrace brings grief every day of one’s life.

Life is an ordeal, albeit an exciting one, but I wouldn’t trade it for the good old days of poverty and obscurity.

Things in themselves have no life in them. A car can’t comfort or encourage you. A house means nothing if there’s no life and love inside.

It’s in responsibility that most people find the meaning that sustains them through life. It’s not in happiness. It’s not in impulsive pleasure.

There are certain nights you and your image just aren’t in the same bed.

Every step of life shows much caution is required.

Enlightenment is always there. Small enlightenment will bring great enlightenment. If you breathe in and are aware that you are alive – that you can touch the miracle of being alive – then that is a kind of enlightenment.

Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you’ve got to start young.

If my life was a movie, no one would believe it.

I’ve had quite a lot of luck with dreams. I’ve often awoken in the night with a phrase or even a whole song in my head.

There’s no tragedy in life like the death of a child. Things never get back to the way they were.

What is my life if I am no longer useful to others.

Without pain, there would be no suffering, without suffering we would never learn from our mistakes. To make it right, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, without it, there is no way of life.

There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired.

What makes life dreary is the want of a motive.

Life is tragic. You are tiny and flawed and ignorant and weak, and everything else is huge, complex, and overwhelming.

All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.

The life which men praise and regard as successful is but one kind. Why should we exaggerate any one kind at the expense of the others?

It is not length of life, but depth of life.

We are doomed to cling to a life even while we find it unendurable.

There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.

Basically, when you get to my age, you’ll really measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have love you actually do love you.

While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.

The worst enemy of life, freedom and the common decencies is total anarchy; their second worst enemy is total efficiency.

If you can’t sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It’s the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.

To me, comedy is just twisting reality. It’s commenting or observing or twisting life.

We all gonna die eventually from something or other, but don’t be a wimp. Put up a good fight.

Life is as tedious as twice-told tale, vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.

Every secret of a writer’s soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind is written large in his works.

Life consists in what a man is thinking of all day.

When we meet real tragedy in life, we can react in two ways – either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits, or by using the challenge to find our inner strength. Thanks to the teachings of Buddha, I have been able to take this second way.

Without music, life would be a mistake.

It is not death or pain that is to be dreaded, but the fear of pain or death.

Singleness of purpose is one of the chief essentials for success in life, no matter what may be one’s aim.

My life is my argument.

I’m half living my life between reality and fantasy at all times.

All that seems indispensible in stating the account between the dead and the living, is to see that the debts against the latter do not exceed the advances made by the former.

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

To be renewed is everything. What more could one ask for than to have one’s youth back again?

The chief condition on which, life, health and vigor depend on, is action. It is by action that an organism develops its faculties, increases its energy, and attains the fulfillment of its destiny.

All my life I’ve looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.

We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? So this is what we’ve chosen to do with our life.

The first step, my son, which one makes in the world, is the one on which depends the rest of our days.

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
