Quote

I take a simple view of life: keep your eyes open and get on with it.

So I observe life a little bit, rather than participating in it.

Seeing life from an eternal perspective helps us focus our limited mortal energies on the things that matter most.

Life is the movie you see through your own eyes. It makes little difference what's happening out there. It's how you take it that counts.

I think as I've gotten older, I've learned to look at life and take every day as it comes.

The idea that seeing life means going from place to place and doing a great variety of obvious things is an illusion natural to dull minds.

As I come towards the end of my life, you get to see things in a slightly different perspective.

I look at the human life like an experiment. Every new moment, every new experience, tragic or otherwise, is an opportunity to gain a more accurate perspective and helps lead me to clarity.

I think of life as a good book. The further you get into it, the more it begins to make sense.

I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.
