In life, as in chess, forethought wins.

In life, as in chess, forethought wins.
-Charles Buxton
The refined form of "human" body, mind, culture and consciousness that we
witness today is the result of countless unsuccessful efforts spanning over millions
of years. We cannot afford to waste such a precious life only on education,
marriage, children, chasing wealth and pangs of old age.
-Deep Trivedi
Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds! Shine.
It can only take a moment to waste the rest of your life.
-Charles Michael "Chuck" Palahniuk
"Snuff"
Life is busy. There are daily obligations that have to be met. Take time to think about how precious and special human life is - you only get one such life. Every wasted minute is lost. You can’t get it back.
It's not that I believe everything happens for a reason. It's just that . . . I just think that some things are meant to be broken, imperfect and chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is.
-Sarah Dessen
"The Truth About Forever"
You live but once; you might as well be amusing.
-Coco Chanel
What we call life is only talk of nature.
-Dejan Stojanović
"The Sun Watches the Sun"
I exhort you also to take part in the great combat, which is the combat of life, and greater than every other earthly conflict.
However mean your life is, meet it and live it.
-Henry David Thoreau
