“Why hope to live a long life if we’re only going to fill it with self-absorption, body maintenance and image repair? When we die, do we want people to exclaim ‘She looked ten years younger,’ or do we want them to say ‘She lived a great life’?”

“I think if you don’t live in the moment, then you become old.”

“Mere longevity is a good thing for those who watch Life from the sidelines. For those who play the game, an hour may be a year, a single day’s work an achievement for eternity.”

“Many people will walk in and out of your life but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.”

“We labor into life and we labor out of life. All of us are born with life and death walking next to us.”

“The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as we continue to live.”
