If it weren't for death, life would be unbearable.

Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

The sole thing of which any man can be deprived is the present; since this is all he owns, and nobody can lose what is not his.

All men are mortal, and therefore all men are losers; our profoundest loyalty goes out to the failed.

Man is unique in that, unlike animals, he knows he is going to die, and unlike animals he can do something about it.

Man is a transitory being, and his designs must partake of the imperfections their author.

Men die and they are not happy.

time wasted is not always a waste of time.

The truth is we all have an expiration date. Your time here on earth is limited. It's precious. It's valuable. God doesn't want you wasting another second with meaningless habits that are derailing your dreams. What if God placed a big stamp on our "passport to life" showing us how much time we have left? I mean, it's sorta creepy, but it would certainly motivate us to live each day with purpose.

if you are 42 years old, you only have 36 more Christmases left with your family. If you are 57 years old, you only have 21 more summers to enjoy at the lake. If you're 63 years old, that's 15 more birthday cakes with your family. Fifteen! That's nothing! It makes you view life more seriously, doesn't it?

If today was the last day of my life, would I be happy with what I'm about to do?"[8]

Lost time is never found again." ~ Benjamin Franklin
