The moments that we have with friends and family, the chances that we have to make a big difference in the world or even to make a small difference to the ones we love, all those wonderful chances that life gives us, life also takes away. It can happen fast and a whole lot sooner than you think.

There's no absolutes in life - only vodka.

Whomever lives, gambles with life.

Life is always uncertain, and common prudence dictates to every man the necessity of settling his temporal concerns, while it is in his power, and while the mind is calm and undisturbed.

Every time I think that I'm getting old and gradually going to the grave, something else happens.

Where it all ends I can't fathom, my friends. If I knew, I might toss out my anchor.
