The best thing to do with the best things in life is to give them up
It is normal to give away a little of one's life in order not to lose it all
Life is a sum of all your choices
There is a period of life where we go back as we advance

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing
Life is as tedious as twice-told tale, vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man
And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything
I exhort you also to take part in the great combat, which is the combat of life, and greater than every other earthly conflict
