My wheelchair is like the Cadillac of wheelchairs; it goes up and down and back, and I can lay down in it.

The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it.

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.

Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you’d never complete your life, would you? You’d never wholly know you.

The happiness of this life depends less on what befalls you than the way in which you take it.

The one charm about marriage is that it makes a life of deception absolutely necessary for both parties.
