Your first big trouble can be a bonanza if you live through it. Get through the first trouble, and you'll probably make it through the next one.

To get it right, be born with luck or else make it. Never give up. A little money helps, but what really gets it right is to never face the facts.

Live long enough and you'll come into pensions, a lovely thing. Presents every month from people you didn't know cared.

Life is getting through the moment. The philosopher William James says to cultivate the cheerful attitude. Now nobody had more trouble than he did -- except me. I had more trouble in my life than anybody. But your first big trouble can be a bonanza if you live through it. Get through the first trouble, you'll probably make it through the next one.

Try something new each day. After all, we're given life to find it out. It doesn't last forever.

Anything that begins 'I don't know how to tell you this' is never good news.
