If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

Live your life, do your work, then take your hat.

Live the life you’ve dreamed.

Nature and human life are as various as our several constitutions. Who shall say what prospect life offers to another?

There is no more fatal blunderer than he who consumes the greater part of his life getting his living.

The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.

If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life.

Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.

What is called genius is the abundance of life and health.

Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.
