Worse than the composers' suffering, though, was the fact that the girl was playing the music with such soul because she knew she was going to die. And am not going to die? Where is my soul that I might play the music of my own life with such enthusiasm?

Live, for this is the time of your life.

Ars longa, vita brevis, occasio praeceps, experimentum periculosum, iudicium difficile. Life is short, [the] art long, opportunity fleeting, experiment dangerous, judgment difficult.

Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once.

Every day is important for us because it is a day ordained by God. If we are bored with life there is something wrong with our concept of God and His involvement in our daily lives. Even the most dull and tedious days of our lives are ordained by God and ought to be used by us to glorify Him.

At daybreak, when loath to rise, have this thought in thy mind: I am rising for a man's work.

Catch the beauty of the moment!

The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.

Honestly, I'm just trying to do the best I can with every opportunity I'm given, and when I'm given the opportunities make the most of them.

Every single social and global issue of our day is a business opportunity in disguise.

What I know for sure is that every sunrise is like a new page, a chance to right ourselves and receive each day in all its glory. Each day is a wonder.

I guarantee you that after you die you will not say 'I spent too much time praying; I wish I had watched more TV instead.
