“All we can do is try, do our best. Give as much time as we have to give, one day at a time. One breath at a time”

“We don’t give up on our patients with diabetes because they can’t be cured. Instead, we do our best to control their symptoms as best we can and try to work with them to give them the best possible quality of life.”

“We want to do something with the time we have, something that will give that time a certain meaning, a certain weight.”

“We all of us complain of the shortness of time, saith Seneca, and yet have much more than we know what to do with. Our lives, says he, are spent either in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do: we are always complaining our days are few, and acting as though there would no end of them."- On the Right Use of Time”

“We do what we must, we do what we are told, we do what is easiest. What else can we do but solve one sordid problem at a time? Then one day we look up and find that we are . . . this.”

“Do we spend most of our days trying to remember or to forget? Do we spend most of our time running towards or away from our lives?”
