| Description |
I think about this quote often. I believe the correct reference from Seneca is below: Therefore, Lucilius, do as you write me that you are doing: hold every hour in your grasp. Lay hold of to-day's task, and you will not need to depend so much upon tomorrow's. While we are postponing, life speeds by. Nothing, Lucilius, is ours, except time. We were entrusted by nature with the ownership of this single thing so fleeting and slippery that anyone who will can oust us from possession. What fools these mortals be! from Senecas Letters as captured by Randall Cream Another related quote about Time “Time is lost when we have not lived a full human life, time unenriched by experience, creative endeavor, enjoyment, and suffering.” - Dietrich Bonhoeffer (I first saw this quote in the book Language of God by Francis Collins seattle 087 |
