It is only when death comes do we feel the regret of not doing more and understand we did not appreciate how wonderful life was when we had it. So approach all actions as if you were about to die and when things are slow, be grateful that they are slow.
Stephen Rennicks
"Any given day in my life is full of coincidences and close calls. One foggy day I came within seconds of being smashed by a train by my house where there was no crossing guard. All day long my mind swirled with thoughts of "what if". If I hadn't stop to clear the ice from my windshield I'd probably be dead. This fascinates me and makes me realize how every single action, no matter how trivial, makes all the difference in my life."
Jared Keil
"The thinker or artist whose better self has fled into his works feels an almost malicious joy when he sees his body and spirit slowly broken into and destroyed by time; it is as if he were in a corner, watching a thief at work on his safe, all the while knowing that it is empty and that all his treasures have been rescued."
Friedrich Nietzsche
