Life is too short to make an over-serious business out of it.
If man be sensible and one fine morning, while he is lying in bed, counts at the tips of his fingers how many things in this life truly will give him enjoyment, invariably he will find food is the first one.
Society can exist only on the basis that there is some amount of polished lying and that no one says exactly what he thinks.
The best that we can hope for in this life is that we shall not have sons and grandsons of whom we need to be ashamed.
The end of living is the true enjoyment of it.
If you can spend a perfectly useless afternoon in a perfectly useless manner, you have learned how to live.
There is so much to love and to admire in this life that it is an act of ingratitude not to be happy and content in this existence.
