Stephen Leacock Life Quotations

I've seen lifelong friends drift apart over golf just because one could play better, but the other counted better.

There is no doubt that many things in life come to us...at backrounds so to speak. Happiness is one of them.

Life, we learn too late, is in the living, the tissue of every day and hour.

I detest life-insurance agents: they always argue that I shall some day die, which is not so.

How strange it is, our little procession of life! The child says, "When I am a big boy." But what is that? The big boy says, "When I grow up." And then, grown up, he says, "When I get married." But to be married, what is that after all? The thought changes to "When I'm able to retire." And then, when retirement comes, he looks back over the landscape traversed; a cold wind seems to sweep over it; somehow he has missed it all, and it is gone.
