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.

Our dissatisfactions may be the result of failing to look properly at our lives rather than the result of anything inherently deficient about them.

The feeling one has no time to get anything done provides the pressure that guarantees one does get some things done.

Artistic talent is like a brilliant firework which streaks across a pitch-black night, inspiring awe among onlookers but extinguishing itself in seconds, leaving behind only darkness and longing.

Time lost is time when we have not lived a full human life, time unenriched by experience, creative endeavor, enjoyment, and suffering.

Time is the most valuable thing that we have, because it is the most irrevocable.

Time is the most precious gift in our possession, for it is the most irrevocable.

Slowly it gets to be a waiting whose outward sense I cannot comprehend; the inward reason must be found daily. Both of us have lost infinitely much during the past months; time today is a costly commodity, for who knows how much more time is given to us.7 Dietrich Bonhoeffer to Maria von Wedemeyer, 20 September 1943

Don't get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.
