Every man dies. Not every man really lives. – Braveheart

Remember you must die whether you sit about moping all day long or whether on feast days you stretch out in a green field, happy with a bottle of Falernian from your innermost cellar. – Horace

Many people take no care of their money till they come nearly to the end of it, and others do just the same with their time. – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Most people die at the last minute; others twenty years beforehand, some even earlier. They are the wretched of the earth. РLouis C̩line, Voyage au bout du monde, 1932
