A day without laughter is a day wasted.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.

Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is.

Noise proves nothing. Often a hen who has merely laid an egg crackles as if she had laid an asteroid.

Only one man in a thousand is a leader of men—the other 999 follow women.

Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

A good joke is the one ultimate and sacred thing which cannot be criticized.

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!

My pain may be the reason for somebody’s laugh. But my laugh must never be the reason for somebody’s pain.

Laugh as much as you breathe. Love as long as you live.

Never eat more than you can lift.

Laughter is the tonic, the relief, the surcease for pain.

To me there is no picture so beautiful as smiling, bright-eyed, happy children; no music so sweet as their clear and ringing laughter.

The less you respond to negative people, the positive your life will become.

Have regular hours for work & play; make each day both useful & pleasant and prove you understand the worth of time by employing it well.

No garden is without its weeds.

I must be a mermaid, I have no fear of depths, and a great fear of shallow living.

There are two ways to conquer and enslave a country. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.

If I had to define life in a word, it would be: Life is creation.

The hardest thing to explain is the glaring evident which everybody had decided not to see.

I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.

I remember my youth and the feeling that I could last forever, outlast the sea, the earth and all men.

Never put off till tomorrow the fun you can have today.

There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world; and that is an idea whose time has come.

Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life.

View your life from your funeral: Looking back at your life experiences, what have you accomplished? What would you have wanted to accomplish but didn't? What were the happy moments? What were the sad? What would you do again, and what wouldn't you do?

An hour of planning can say you 10 hours of doing.
