While We Wait For Life Life Passes

The part of life we really live is small, for all the rest is not life, but merely time

Our life is what our thoughts make it.

We are all life trying to live, among other life trying to live.

What we do now echoes in eternity.

Life contains but two tragedies. One is not to get your heart's desire; the other is to get it.

From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that we are here for the sake of each other - above all for those upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends, and also for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day I realize how much my own outer and inner life is built upon the labors of my fellow men, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.
