Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.

In this life there’s nothing new in dying,

The secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for.

Life…is like a cup of tea; the more heartily we drink, the sooner we reach the dregs.

 

No matter how bad things get, you got to go on living, even if it kills you.
