Life wastes itself whilst we are preparing to live.
Life is short, Break the Rules. Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably And never regret anything that makes you smile.
It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on Earth - and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up - that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.
Live as though life was created for you.
You know, you only get to live life once, so there are two things that that yields. One is that there's no point in crying over spilt milk, but secondly you hate wasting time, energy, and whatever talent you've got.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body.
Life is short, and every moment is precious.
Do not act as if you had a thousand years to live.
The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.
Every day is a little life, and our whole life is but a day repeated. Therefore live every day as if it would be the last. Those that dare lose a day, are dangerously prodigal; those that dare misspend it are desperate.
Each day should be passed as though it were our last.
Be not as one that hath ten thousand years to live; death is nigh at hand: while thou livest, while thou hast time, be good.
Nothing is worth more than this day.
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
Begin to live each day as if it was your last.
You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
Live your life to the fullest; and then, and only then, die. Don't leave any unlived life behind.
Life is precarious, and life is precious. Don't presume you will have it tomorrow, and don't waste it today.
Live not as though there were a thousand years ahead of you. Fate is at your elbow; make yourself good while life and power are still yours.
Timing in life is everything.
Live this day as if it will be your last. Remember that you will only find "tomorrow" on the calendars of fools.
Give every day the chance to become the most beautiful day of your life.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is God's gift, that's why we call it the present.
You're only here for a short visit. Don't hurry, don't worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way.
Live while you live, then die and be done with.
