“Frame your mind to mirth and merriment which bars a thousand harms and lengthens life.”
“In anything that does cover the whole of your life - in your philosophy and your religion - you must have mirth. If you do not have mirth you will certainly have madness.”
“A feeling rose in me, and I just let it, because what harm could it do? It only had another thirty-two adagio bars of life in this world. Twenty-four. Sixteen. Eight more bars in which I love you. Three. Two. One.”
“Cultivate solitude, quiet and a few sincere friends, rather than mob merriment, noise and thousands of nodding acquaintances.”
“Life is not only merriment,It is desire and determination.”
“Violence has to become a part of your thinking. It makes you cautious, suspicious as hell, and lengthens your life expectancy.”
