"When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love."

"It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live."

"Remember that man lives only in the present, in this fleeting instant; all the rest of his life is either past and gone, or still uncertain."

"To live each day as if it were your last, without frenzy, without apathy, without pretense."

"Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what's left and live it properly."
