Life is like playing a violin in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.

Life is the art of drawing sufficent conclusions from insufficient premises.

All animals except man know that the ultimate point of life is to enjoy it. -Samuel Butler.

Human life is as evanescent as the morning dew or a flash of lightning.

Life is a quarry, out of which we are to mold and chisel and complete a character.

All of the animals except for man know that the principle business of life is to enjoy it.
