Are we wasting our lives?
By that word 'wasting"
we mean dissipating out energy in various ways.
-Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is folly to dread the thought
of throwing away life at once,
and yet have no regard to throwing it away
by parcel and piecemeal.
-John Howe
Life is not lost in dying.
Life is lost minute by minute,
day by dragging day.
-Stephen Vincent Benet
Nothing is so often irretrievably missed
as a daily opportunity.
-Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
And killing time is perhaps the essence of comedy,
just as the essence of tragedy is killing eternity.
-Miguel de Unamuno
It is not limitations that eat the heart out,
but inaction, the knowledge of powers not used,
the sense of having failed to develop to the utmost.
-Grant Lewi
He who asks for nothing
but the improvement of his own nature...
is less liable than anyone else to miss and waste life.
-Henri Frederic Amiel
