"It is better to fall among crows than flatterers; for those devour only the dead - these the living" — Hans Christian Andersen

While we are postponing, life speeds by

There is not a more unhappy being than a superannuated idol

I live in the world rather as a spectator of mankind than as one of the species

If you observe, people always live for ever when there is an annuity to be paid them.

There is no wealth but life

The less routine the more life
