Life is so unlikely, so rare and beautiful an opportunity it is to live, we must be on constant guard to ensure that our actions are worthy of the life it takes to perform them.

We are so surrounded with this fortune that we tend to forget that though subjectively in abundance, objectively this is a rarity.

We will never be capable of true relationships with others if we continue to view them as others.

Fortune knocks at every man's door once in a life, but in a good many cases the man is in a neighboring saloon and does not hear her

Be prepared to grab her when fortune comes your way.

People who believe they have bad luck create bad luck. Those who believe they are very fortunate, that the world is a generous place filled with trustworthy people, live in exactly that kind of world.
