Seize the day.

This is the highest wisdom that I own; freedom and life are earned by those alone who conquer them each day anew.

Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.

He who would make serious use of his life must always act as though he had a long time to live and must schedule his time as though he were about to die.

Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay.

Later it will be too late. Our life is now.
