Emotions and Feelings

I love talking about nothing. It is the only thing I know anything about.

A fool can throw a stone in a pond that a 100 wise men can’t get out.

In a word, I was too cowardly to do what I knew to be right, as I had been too cowardly to avoid doing what I knew to be wrong.

In a word, I was too cowardly to do what I knew to be right, as I had been too cowardly to avoid doing what I knew to be wrong.

If your morals make you dreary, depend on it, they are wrong.

The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.

A person starts dying when they stop dreaming.

Absence and death are the same - only that in death there is no suffering.

Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.

He can who thinks he can, and he can't who thinks he can't. This is an inexorable, indisputable law.

Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.

The true object of all human life is play.

The paradox of courage is that a man must be a little careless of his life even in order to keep it.

Life is like an onion: you peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.

What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I'd realized it sooner.

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved - loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.

I believe you should live each day as if it is your last, which is why I don't have any clean laundry, because, come on, who wants to wash clothes on the last day of their life?

When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened.

Life is too important to be taken seriously.

If you believed more in life you would fling yourself less to the moment.

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

We can have in life but one great experience at best, and the secret of life is to reproduce that experience as often as possible.

What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneliness, and say, 'This life which you live must be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned and you with it, dust of the dust!' Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse that demon? Or would you answer, 'Never have I heard anything more divine'?

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
