Never forget that you must die; that death will come sooner than you expect… God has written the letters of death upon your hands. In the inside of your hands you will see the letters M.M. It means “Memento Mori” — remember you must die. – J. Furniss, Tracts for Spiritual Reading

I have spent my days stringing and unstringing my instrument, while the song I came to sing remains unsung. – Tagore

Every second is of infinite value. – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
