People said Man is mortal. The past is gone and static.
It profits us to dwell on trivial matters
to embrace with gratitude the gift of each day
to make the most of every moment
by filling it with purpose or appreciation.
It profits us to dwell on trivial matters
to embrace with gratitude the gift of each day
to make the most of every moment
by filling it with purpose or appreciation.
Wherever you are, and whoever you may be,
there is one thing in which you and I are just alike at this moment,
and in all the moments of our existence.
We are not at rest; we are on a journey.
Our life is a movement, a tendency, a steady, ceaseless progress
towards an unseen goal.
We are gaining something, or losing something, every day.
Even when our position and our character seem to remain precisely the same,
they are changing, for the mere advance of time is a change.
--- Henry Van Dyke
Care, vale! Sed non æternum, care, valeto!
Namque iterum tecum, sim modo dignus, ero.
Tum nihil amplexus poterit divellere nostros,
Nec tu marcesces, nec lacrymabor ego.
Namque iterum tecum, sim modo dignus, ero.
Tum nihil amplexus poterit divellere nostros,
Nec tu marcesces, nec lacrymabor ego.
