It is not, believe me, the act of a wise man to say, "I will live." To-morrow's life is too late; live to-day.
He who thinks that the lives of Priam and of Nestor were long is much deceived and mistaken. Life consists not in living, but in enjoying health.
A good man doubles the length of his existence; to have lived so as to look back with pleasure on our past existence is to live twice.
