More on Life
“A man never is happy, but spends his whole life in striving after something which he thinks will make him so; he seldom attains his goal, and when he does, it is only to be disappointed; he is mostly shipwrecked in the end, and comes into harbor with mast and rigging gone. And then, it is all one whether he has been happy or miserable; for his life was never anything more than a present moment always vanishing; and now it is over.”
“The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life - knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live.”
“I do not wish to die: but I care not if I were dead.[Lat., Emori nolo: sed me esse mortuum nihil aestimo.]”
More on Enjoyment
“Watch the sunrise at least once a year, put a lot of marshmallows in your hot chocolate, lie on your back and look at the stars, never buy a coffee table you can't put your feet on, never pass up a chance to jump on a trampoline, don't overlook life's small joys while searching for the big ones.”
“You just try to take it one day at a time, ... You step on the basketball floor and just play. It's fun. I'm comfortable with it.”
“Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing than a long life spent in a miserable way.”
