“The clock of life is wound but once,And no man has the powerTo tell just when the hands will stopAt late or early hour.To lose one's wealth is sad indeed,To lose one's health is more,To lose one's soul is such a lossThat no man can restore.The present only is our own,So live, love, toil with a will,Place no faith in "Tomorrow,"For the Clock may then be still.”

Miguel de Cervantès
“Lose what? A man only has a soul to be won or lost; apart from his life, he has nothing. Past or future lives do not matter - at the moment you are living this one, and you should do so with silent comprehension, joy and enthusiasm. What you must not lose is your enthusiasm.”
Paulo Coelho
Warrior of the Light
“To lose one's life is but to lose the present; and, clearly, to lose a defiled, worthless present is not to lose much.”
