“What is one man's life compared to the eternity of time and space? No more than a snowflake that glitters in the sun for a moment before melting into the flow of time.”

“Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand - and melting like a snowflake. Let us use it before it is too late.”

“Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand--and melting like a snowflake...”

“Every moment of life mattered. Even the perfect snowflake that alighted on his palm and melted in seconds.”

“The river is now. This moment. This breath between us. The space between your heartbeats. The moment before you blink. The instant a thought flashes through your mind. It is everything that is around us. Life. Energy. Flowing, endlessly flowing, carrying you from then...to now...to tomorrow. Listen: you can hear the music of it. Of the passage of time.”

“Though you outlive as many generations as you will,Nevertheless, Eternal Death is waiting for you still.It is no shorter, that eternity that lies in storeFor the man who with the setting sun today will rise no more,Than for the man whose sun has set months, even years, before.”
