Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable. +
Sydney J. Harris
Don't ever save anything
for a special occasion. Being alive is the special occasion.

I
don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length
of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.
Diane
Ackerman
Use
your health, even to the point of wearing it out. That is what it is
for. Spend all you have before you die; do not outlive yourself.
George Bernard Shaw
Life
is a flash of lightning in the dark of night. It is a brief time of tremendous
potential.
B. Alan Wallace
He
has spent all his life in letting down empty buckets into empty wells; and he
is frittering away his age in trying to draw them up again.
Sydney Smith

important thing is not how many years in your life but how much life in your
years.
Edward J. Stieglitz
Don't
be fooled by the calendar. There are only as many days in the year as you
make use of.

There
are a million ways to lose a work day, but not even a single way to get one
back.

To change one's life: Start immediately. Do it flamboyantly.
No exceptions.

to corpses?

Begin
doing what you want to do now. We have only this moment, sparkling like a
star in our hand, and melting like a snowflake.

Every
day of our lives we are on the verge of making those slight changes that would
make all the difference.

I
admire the man who exclaimed, "I have lost a day!" because he had
neglected to do any good in the course of it...

fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is
prepared to die at any time.
Mark Twain
Every
day you are alive is a special occasion. Every minute, every breath, is a
gift from God.
Mary Manin Morrissey
The
proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my
days in trying to prolong them.
Jack London
Many
people take no care of their money till they come nearly to the end of it, and
others do just the same with their time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
You
don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. You can only
decide how you're going to live. Now.
Joan Baez
What
a folly to dread the thought of throwing away life at once, and yet have no
regard to throwing it away by parcels and piecemeal.
John Howe
Present
your family and friends with their eulogies now - they won't be able to hear
how much you love them and appreciate them from the grave.
