When it seemed only thine to keep or lose,

“Oh, for the sake of momentum
I've allowed my fears to get larger than life.”
Aimee Mann
(1960) American indie rock singer-songwriter (born 1960)
"Momentum"
Song lyrics, Magnolia: Music from the Motion Picture (1999)
Context: Oh, for the sake of momentum
I've allowed my fears to get larger than life.
And it's brought me to my current agendum
Whereupon I deny fulfillment has yet to arrive.And I know life is getting shorter,
I can't bring myself to set the scene.
Even when it's approaching torture,
I've got my routine.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
(1806–1861) English poet, author
St. 23 -24.
De Profundis (1862)
Context: p>I praise Thee while my days go on;
I love Thee while my days go on:
Through dark and dearth, through fire and frost,
With emptied arms and treasure lost,
I thank Thee while my days go on.And having in thy life-depth thrown
Being and suffering (which are one),
As a child drops his pebble small
Down some deep well, and hears it fall
Smiling — so I. THY DAYS GO ON.</p
Herman Cain

Variant: Life can be a challenge. Life can seem impossible. It's never easy when there's so much on the line.
