William Saroyan

In the time of your life, live -- so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it.

Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know. . . . One who doesn't try cannot fail and become wise.

If you give to a thief he cannot steal from you, and he is no longer a thief.

Nothing good ever ends.

The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.

People is all everything is, all it has ever been, all it can ever be.

The Time of Your Life
