My formula for living is 
quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night.
In between, I occupy myself as best I can.

I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. 
For I have learned that the greater part 
of our misery or unhappiness is determined not 
by our circumstance but by our disposition.

I see myself as an intelligent, 
sensitive human, 
with the soul of a clown 
which forces me to blow it 
at the most important moments.
