There are two things that one must get used to or one will find life unendurable: the damages of time and injustices of men.

To live by one man's will becomes the cause of all misery.
Every man judges his own happiness and satisfaction with life in terms of his possession or lack of possession of those things that he considers worthwhile and valuable.
Life is filled with detours and dead ends, trials and challenges of every kind. Each of us has likely had times when distress, anguish, and despair almost consumed us.
The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself.
Injustice, poverty, slavery, ignorance - these may be cured by reform or revolution. But men do not live only by fighting evils. They live by positive goals, individual and collective, a vast variety of them, seldom predictable, at times incompatible.
To find in ourselves what makes life worth living is risky business, for it means that once we know we must seek it. It also means that without it life will be valueless.
Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
There is nothing in this world which men desire and struggle for, and that is good for them, of which there is not enough for everybody.
The greatest use of a life is to spend it on something that will outlast it.
