“It is so easy to waste our lives: our days, our hours, our minutes. ... It is so easy to exist instead of live. Unless you know there is a clock ticking. So many of us changed our lives when we heard a biological clock and decided to have kids. But that sound is a murmur compared to the tolling of mortality.” -- Anna Quindlen
“Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways.” -- Stephen Vincent Benet
"Excellence is an art won by training and habitation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then is not an act but a habit."
- Aristotle
In giving advice, seek to help, not please, your friend.
