Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them.

Publilius Syrus

There is no cure for birth and death other than to enjoy the interval.

George Santayana

To have a sense of humor is to be strong: to keep one’s sense of humor is to shrug off misfortunes, and to lose one’s sense of humor is to be wounded by them. And so the mark – or at least the perogative – of strength is not to take oneself too seriously.

Paul Graham
