Time is an illusion that makes us all pant.
Make haste to live, and consider each day a life.
Execute every act of thy life as though it were thy last.
If you want to put far more living in your life, start living every day as if it was your last.
Our deeds disguise us. People need endless time to try on their deeds, until each knows the proper deeds for him to do. But every day, every hour, rushes by. There is no time.
Life really is too short.
As you get older, you see how rapidly the years and decades fly by, so I would encourage anyone, no matter the age, to seize their life and be fully present.
Life is so urgent and necessitates living slow. It's only the amateurs-and that I've been, and it's been ugly-who thinks slow and urgent are contradictory.
Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.
The older I get, as well, bloody hell - time's running out. I just feel, jeez, there's so much to do. I'm not going to try to change the planet but make changes just in a small way.
Don't wait until life has given you an expiration date to live.
I pray that we will not wait until we are ready to die before we truly learn to live.
One thing I can tell you: with the threat of death hanging over you, you live life to the fullest.
Someone was trying to kill Lady Alexia Maccon. It was most inconvenient, as she was in a dreadful hurry. Given her previous familiarity with near-death experiences and their comparative frequency with regards to her good self, Alexia should probably have allowed extra time for such a predictable happenstance.
Human life is God's outer church. Its needs and urgencies are priests and pastors.
If you're not ready to die, then how can you live?
When I nearly died it made me think – this can happen again any second. I better hurry and do what I want. I started to live like I never lived before. When the fear of death is gone, then nothing can bother you and nobody can stop you.
Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.
I believe every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don't intend to waste any of mine.
I'm not trying to rush my life.
There's time to slow down, after you're dead.
As I've said before, time is short, and life is precious.
Live today as if you don't have tomorrow: my husband was diagnosed and killed by cancer within six months.
When doctors tell you that you have three weeks to live, you try to live a lifetime of moments in three weeks. But you say, 'To hell with three weeks.'
The future is no longer indefinite. Time has become very finite to me and very precious.
