Lifetime

A room without books is like a life without meaning

One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry

As for a future life, every man must judge for himself between conflicting vague probabilities

You are not permitted to kill a woman who has wronged you, but nothing forbids you to reflect that she is growing older every minute. You are avenged 1440 times a day

I have lived long enough both in years and in accomplishments.

Life’s most presistent and urgent question is, “What are you doing for others?”

True life is lived when tiny changes occur

To have a good life you need to live hidden

The reputation of a thousand years may be determined by the conduct of one hour

We are what we repeatedly do

If you want happiness for an hour -- take a nap. If you want happiness for a day -- go fishing. If you want happiness for a year -- inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime -- help someone else.

In order to write about life, first you must live it.

You will find as you grow older that courage is the rarest of all qualities to be found in public life

May you live all the days of your life

Live as long as you may. The first twenty years are the longest half of your life

The first forty years of our life give the text, the next thirty furnish the commentary upon it, which enables us rightly to understand the true meaning and connection of the text with its moral and its beauties

We turn not older with years, but newer every day.

No one is so old as to think he cannot live one more year

The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.

From our birthday, until we die, Is but the winking of an eye.
