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

If life is a checker game, someone else is moving the pieces. It isn’t us. Don’t be surprised by amazing coincidences. There are no accidents. Consider, as I learned to do, the incredible interconnectedness of all of life.

Nothing is so wretched or foolish as to anticipate misfortunes. What madness is it to be expecting evil before it comes.

Woman, or more precisely put, perhaps, marriage, is the representative of life with which you are meant to come to terms.

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.

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.

People who don’t like my work say that the connections seem too arbitrary. But that’s how life is.

A well-written life is almost as rare as a well-spent one.

Most people get a fair amount of fun out of their lives, but on balance life is suffering, and only the very young or the very foolish imagine otherwise.

No man lives without jostling and being jostled; in all ways he has to elbow himself through the world, giving and receiving offence.

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?

Such is the state of life, that none are happy but by the anticipation of change: the change itself is nothing; when we have made it, the next wish is to change again.

No one can outrun death. It will catch up to all of us eventually.

Create a ladder of values and priorities in your life, reminding yourself of what really matters to you.

In business or in life, don’t follow the wagon tracks too closely.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.

Life is divided into the horrible and the miserable.

Doctors will have more lives to answer for in the next world than even we generals.

Man alone is born crying, lives complaining, and dies disappointed.

In order to speak about all and to all, one has to speak of what all know and of the reality common to us all. The sea, rains, necessity, desire, the struggle against death… these are things that unite us all.

The love of life is necessary to the vigorous prosecution of any undertaking.

The first thing which I can record concerning myself is, that I was born. These are wonderful words. This life, to which neither time nor eternity can bring diminution – this everlasting living soul, began. My mind loses itself in these depths.

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.

Probably because I’m from a middle class family, I have that nature in me that I don’t get too excited with big things.

It’s life isn’t it? You plow ahead and make a hit. And you plow on and someone passes you. Then someone passes them. Time levels.

My life is not unlike Truman’s. I can’t go anywhere.

Forty is the old age of youth, fifty is the youth of old age.

People think, because we’re young, we aren’t complex, but that’s not true. We deal with life and love and broken hearts in the same way a woman a few years older might.

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.

I look forward to death with great anticipation, to meeting God face to face.

The only length of life that seems to satisfy the longings of the human heart is life everlasting.

Life well spent is long.

Youth is to all the glad season of life; but often only by what it hopes, not by what it attains, or what it escapes.

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

My whole life and my whole career, even through my music, I tell people: let’s unify; let’s show more love.

Life, an age to the miserable, and a moment to the happy.

There is nothing better than getting shot at and missed. It’s really great.

There is only one failure in life possible, and that is not to be true to the best one knows.

Tomorrow belongs to those who can hear it coming.

When it’s your time, it is your time.

Life’s a rollercoaster. You’re up one minute; you’re down one minute. But who doesn’t like rollercoasters?

It all went wrong with football, the thing I loved most of all, and from there, my life slowly fell apart.

We conceal it from ourselves in vain – we must always love something. In those matters seemingly removed from love, the feeling is secretly to be found, and man cannot possibly live for a moment without it.

Death most resembles a prophet who is without honor in his own land or a poet who is a stranger among his people.

It is natural to die as to be born.

The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line.

I was out of my bed in one second, trembling with excitement, and I dashed to the door and into the adjoining room, where I could watch the streets below from the windows.

Life affords no higher pleasure than that of surmounting difficulties, passing from one step of success to another, forming new wishes and seeing them gratified.

The greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that will outlast it.

I expected to die. At no time before the trial did I expect to escape with my life. Yet being executed in the gas chamber did not necessarily mean defeat. It could be one more step to bring the community to a higher level of consciousness.

The art is long, life is short.

It’s not morbid to talk about death. Most people don’t worry about death, they worry about a bad death.

Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.

Life is tragic simply because the earth turns and the sun inexorably rises and sets, and one day, for each of us, the sun will go down for the last, last time.

‚I wish life was not so short,‘ he thought. ‚Languages take such a time, and so do all the things one wants to know about.‘

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for good and evil.

Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it.

Life is like a wheel. Sooner or later, it always come around to where you started again.

Religion is not a department of life; it is something that enters into the whole of it.

What life half gives a man, posterity gives entirely.
