“Whose life is a bubble, and in length a span.”

“You are only as invincible as your smallest weakness, and those are tiny indeed - the length of a sleeping baby's eyelash, the span of a child's hand. Life turns on a dime, and - it turns out - so does one's conscience.”

“Chorus [leader]: Ye Children of Man! whose life is a span, / Protracted with sorrow from day to day, / Naked and featherless, feeble and querulous, / Sickly, calamitous creatures of clay!”

“Men, whose span is cruelly short, rush nonetheless to death in their youth as to a maiden’s arms.”

“For a while" is a phrase whose length can't be measured. At least by the person who's waiting.”

“Music has no limits of a life-span.”

“Fronting on me will shorten your life-span.”

“It is not the length of life, but the depth.”

“Whoevers tongue utters the truth, his practise becomes purified; and the one whose intention is decent and good, his sustenance increases; and whoever adopts good attitude and decent behavior with his family, his life span lengthens.”

“Pity the sorrows of a poor old man,
Whose trembling limbs have borne him to your door,
Whose days are dwindled to the shortest span;
Oh give relief, and Heaven will bless your store.”
