“There is no life but this.”

“This life is not for complaint, but for satisfaction.”

“I do not know how to distinguish between waking life and a dream. Are we not always living the life that we imagine we are?”

“I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life”

“Life in us is like the water in a river.”

“Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.”

“A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man's life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars.”
