It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it.

• 

  While we are postponing, life speeds by.

• 

  Live among men as if God beheld you; speak with God as if men were listening.

• 

  We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.

• 

  How quickly we come from nothing and go into nothing.

• 

  Hold to the now, the here, through which all future plunges to the past.

• 

  We let our pleasant days slip by unnoticed; only when bad days come do we wish the others back.
