Is not a thing that lends significance to a moment; it is the moment that lends significance to things.

There are no two hours alike. Every hour is unique and the only one given at the moment, exclusive and endlessly precious.

A great event, miraculous as it may be, if it happened only once, will hardly be able to dominate forever the mind of man.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words, And this too, shall pass away. How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!

In the end, it's not the years in your life that counts. It's the life in your years.

And this, too, shall pass away.

And this, too, shall pass away.' How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years

And in the end it's not the years in your life that count; it's the life in your years.

In the good days remember also death.

One's doing well if age improves even slightly one's capacity to hold on to that vital truism: This too shall pass.
