"Certain moments are torn from us,
that some are gently removed,
and that others glide beyond our reach.
The most disgraceful kind of loss, however,
is that due to carelessness

The largest portion of our life passes while we are doing ill,
a goodly share while we are doing nothing,
and the whole while we are doing that which is not to the purpose.

What man can you show me who places any value on his time,
who reckons the worth of each day,
who understands that he is dying daily ?"
- Seneca.
