“No man ever threw away life while it was worth keeping.”

“How do you explain to yourself the casual manner in which you threw your life away?”

“(…)while it's true that the unexamined life is not worth living, it's also true that the unlived life isn't worth examining.”

“We try to pay a man what he is worth and we are not inclined to keep a man who is not worth more than the minimum wage.”

“Life is a series of surprises and would not be worth taking or keeping if it were not.”

“There was a man once who said that mothers carry the key of our souls with them all our lives. But you threw mine away”

“While men are what they are; while they have bad
Passions to be roused up: while ruled by men;
While all the powers and treasures of a land
At beck of the ambitious, wrongs may be
Offered, with insult; yea, while rights are worth
Maintaining; freedom keeping, or life having,
So long dread I, the sword shall shine.”

“It is easy enough to be pleasant,
When life flows by like a song,
But the man worth while is one who will smile,
When everything goes dead wrong.”

“For a small reward, a man will hurry away on a long journey; while for eternal life, many will hardly take a single step.”

“To know what life is worth you have to risk it once in a while.”
