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

We live in the world when we love it.

How wonderful life is while you're in the world.

The same stream of life that runs through the world runs through my veins night and day.

There was never yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside of the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy, and a tragedy.

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.
