"A
lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That's why they don't
get what they want. One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make
sure its worth watching.
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for
the harder I work, the more I live.
I rejoice in life for its own sake.
Life is no “brief candle” to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I
have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly
as possible before handing it on to the future." Author Unknown
