Human life is as evanescent as the morning dew or a flash of lightning.
Samuel Butler
Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
Life is one long process of getting tired.
Most people have never learned that one of the main aims in life is to enjoy it.
Life is not an exact science, it is an art.
To live is like to love - all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it.
Life is like music; it must be composed by ear, feeling, and instinct, not by rule.
Is life worth living? This is a question for an embryo not for a man.
Life is a quarry, out of which we are to mold and chisel and complete a character.
The only living works are those which have drained much of the author's own life into them.
