“Life well spent is long.”

“The life given us, by nature is short; but the memory of a well-spent life is eternal.”

“Attention and activity lead to mistakes as well as to successes; but a life spent in making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.”

“As a day well spent procures a happy sleep, so a life well employed procures a happy death.”

“As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.”

“Life is not long, and too much of it must not pass in idle deliberation how it shall be spent.”

“Then think I thus: "Sith such repair,
So long time war of valiant men,
Was all to win a lady fair,
Shall I not learn to suffer then?
And think my life well spent to be,
Serving a worthier wight than she?"”

“My life is spent in one long effort to escape from the commonplaces of existence. These little problems help me to do so.”

“When life has been well spent; when there is a conscience without reproach; when there is faith in the Saviour; when there is a well-founded hope of heaven, there can be nothing that should disquiet us.”

“A well-spent day brings happy sleep”
