“Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes. ”

“The more that learn to read the less learn how to make a living. That's one thing about a little education. It spoils you for actual work. The more you know the more you think somebody owes you a living”

“Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower ”

“Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough”

“One should eat to live, not live to eat ”

“The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party, when the masks are dropped”
