“Whatever we are, whatever we make of ourselves, is all we will ever have—and that, in its profound simplicity, is the meaning of life.”

“Begin at once to live, and count each day as a separate life.”

“The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.”

“Life is meant to be fun, and joyous and fulfilling. May each of yours be that.”

“Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.”

“I feel the capacity to care is the thing which gives life its deepest significance.”
