I think that, as life is action and passion, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of his time at peril of being judged not to have lived.
To reach a port we must sail, sometimes with the wind, and sometimes against it. But we must not drift or lie at anchor.
Men do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Many people die with their music still in them. Why is this so? Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out.
I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.
To be 70 years young is sometimes far more cheerful and hopeful than to be 40 years old.
Death tugs at my ear and says: "Live, I am coming"
Oliver Wendell Holmes
