He that would enjoy life and act with freedom must have the work of the day continually before his eyes. Not yesterday's work, lest he fall into despair, nor tomorrow's, lest he become a visionary, nor that which ends with the day, which is a worldly work, nor yet that only which remains to eternity, for by it he cannot shape his actions.

Life consists in penetrating the unknown, and fashioning our actions in accord with the new knowledge thus acquired.

The future of life as we know it is being determined by everything we're doing-and not doing.

The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Life's uncertain voyage.
