“While we are postponing, life speeds by”

“We learn not in the school, but in life.”

“The part of life we really live is small.' For all the rest of existence is not life, but merely time.”

“It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much. ... The life we receive is not short but we make it so; we are not ill provided but use what we have wastefully.”

“If i had not been admitted to these studies it would not have been worth while to have been born.”

“It takes the whole of life to learn how to live, and -what will perhaps make you wonder more - it takes the whole of life to learn how to die.”

“It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.”
