Anton Chekhov
Life does not agree with philosophy: There is no happiness that is not idleness, and only what is useless is pleasurable.
Anton Chekhov
A man and a woman marry because both of them do not know what to do with themselves.
Anton Chekhov

Anton Chekhov
The air of one's native country is the most healthy air.
Anton Chekhov
It's worth living abroad to study up on genteel and delicate manners. The maid smiles continuously she smiles like a duchess on a stage, while at the same time it is clear from her face that she is exhausted from overwork.
Anton Chekhov
Man is what he believes.
Anton Chekhov
The University brings out all abilities, including incapability.
Anton Chekhov
Life is difficult for those who have the daring to first set out on an unknown road. The avant-garde always has a bad time of it.
Anton Chekhov
Man will become better when you show him what he is like.
Anton Chekhov
Those who come a hundred or two hundred years after us will despise us for having lived our lives so stupidly and tastelessly. Perhaps they'll find a means to be happy.
Anton Chekhov
