“Your life is not a countdown to your death, but a stepping stone for the lives that will live after you. Squander today, and you will find yourself useless tomorrow.”
― A.J. Darkholme, Rise of the Morningstar

There are many words, that add a sublime hint to urgency, and there are many in your face affirmations, that it is limited and disappeared with each second.
