The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
We love death. The U.S. loves life. That is the difference between us two.
Life is not to be taken seriously.
Seriousness is a disease.
We do not quit playing because we grow old, we grow old because we quit playing.
A few years ago, I got to a point where I realised that the only way you can tell someone's age is how they live their life. The candles on the cake mean absolutely nothing.
I admire those people who hold on to their elegance in old age but I'd rather have fun.
People tend the take everything too seriously. Especially themselves. Yep. And that's probably what makes 'em scared and hurt so much of the time. Life is too serious to take that seriously.
You can't take life for granted.
I take life easy, not questioning every time the going gets tough.
We have the ability to craft a life where we are completely fulfilled. We think it is dependent on outsiders, and to some extent it is, but it is much more dependent on the attitude we bring to life.
I think if you just look at life in a positive way, positive things will happen.
You just take things as they come.
The only constant factor in life is our feelings and attitudes toward life. One of the few things that we have total control over is our own attitude.
My tendency in life is to like movies that deal with heavy stuff, but it's my nature.
I'm not sure I can explain the nature of Jack Kennedy's charm, but he took life just as it came.
I'm not afraid of death, but I'm not courting it, either. If you have lived well, it is the fair conclusion to life.
It isn't what happens to us in life that creates our joy, but rather how we respond to what happens in our lives.
Too many people take the living experience too seriously.
I don't take life so seriously... I can just play with life.
I am an old man but in many senses a very young man. And this is what I want you to be, young, young all your life.
I've always had a 'Work hard, play hard' attitude to life - I still do - but sometimes you get involved in something that needs a calm, methodical approach.
In my next life I want to be a pessimist. Then other people could spend all their time cheering me up.
I like to see life with its teeth out.
I can die when I wish to: that is my elixir of life.
