Living is like working out a long addition sum, and if you make a mistake in the first two totals you will never find the right answer. It means involving oneself in a complicated chain of circumstances.

A light heart lives long.

Life is a video game. No matter how good you get, you are always zapped in the end

Everything has been figured out, except how to live.

Life is a dead-end street.

To live lightheartedly but not recklessly; to be gay without being boisterous; to be courageous without being bold; to show trust and cheerful resignation without fatalism -- this is the art of living.

Take life as you find it, but don't leave it that way

Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale.

The truest end of life, is to find the life that doesn't end.

We quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the brim -- objects press around us, filling the mind with the throng of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.
