I like this thought from A.Word.A.Day:
"One should count each day a separate life."
Lucius Annaeus Seneca, philosopher (BCE 3-65 CE)
It reminds me of another good quote:
"Millions long for immortality who do not know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon."
Susan Ertz
Each time I post a quote I like to track down some information about the peson. Lucius Annaeus Seneca has many famous quotes. Here are a few good ones:
"As long as you live, keep learning how to live."
"Consider, when you are enraged at any one, what you would probably think if he should die during the dispute."
"For greed all nature is too little."
"For many men, the acquisition of wealth does not end their troubles, it only changes them."
"It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult."
"Life's like a play: it's not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters."
"Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind."
"Shame may restrain what law does not prohibit."
"So live with men as if God saw you and speak to God, as if men heard you."
