“Men do not care how nobly they live, but only for how long, although it is within the reach of every man to live nobly, but within no man’s power to live long.”

“It should be our care not so much to live a long life as a satisfactory one.”

“As long as you live, keep learning how to live.”

“Consider the whole world reconnoitre individuals j who is there whose life is not taken up with providing for to morrow Do you ask what harm there is in this An infinite deal for such men do not live but are about to live they defer every thing from day to day however circumspect we are life will still outrun us.”

“He will live ill who does not know how to die well”

“As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.”

“The geat blessing of mankind are within us and within our reach; but we shut our eyes, and like people in the dark, we fall foul upon the very thing we search for, without finding it.”
