I have always looked at life as a voyage, mostly wonderful, sometimes frightening.

Life is as tedious as twice-told tale, vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man.

Frame your mind to mirth and merriment which bars a thousand harms and lengthens life.

The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

People try to do all sorts of clever and difficult things to improve life instead of doing the simplest, easiest thing-refusing to participate in activities that make life bad.
