  • The fear of life is the favorite disease of the 20th century.

  • If at first you don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything.

  • If happiness truly consisted in physical ease and freedom from care, then the happiest individual would not be either a man or a woman it would be, I think, an American cow.

  • The fear of life is the favorite disease of the 20th century.

  • Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good plays, good company, good conversation - what are they? They are the happiest people in the world.
