O sleepers! what a thing is slumber! Sleep resembles death. Ah, why then dost thou not work in such wise as that after death thou mayst retain a resemblance to perfect life, when, during life, thou art in sleep so like to the hapless dead?

Live life as though nobody is watching, and express yourself as though everyone is listening.

There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

Our life is made by the death of others.

What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.

Just as a well-filled day brings blessed sleep, so a well-employed life brings a blessed death.
