“Life is like a sandwich. Birth is the first slice, death is the last slice. Everything in between is the filling.”

“Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.”

“Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.”

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”

“This is the best of all possible worlds.”
