A Youth of Frolics, an old Age of Cards; Fair to no purpose, artful to no end, Young without Lovers, old without a Friend; A Fop their Passion, but their Prize a Sot; Alive ridiculous, and dead forgot. - Alexander Pope, Moral Essays (ep. II, l. 243) Through the sequester'd vale of rural life The venerable patriarch guileless held The tenor of his way. - Bishop Beilby Porteus, Death (l. 109) The cradle and the tomb, alas! so nigh. - Matthew Prior Amid two seas, on one small point of land, Wearied, uncertain, and amazed we stand. - Matthew Prior, Solomon on the Vanity of Human Wishes (pt.

III, l. 240) So vanishes our state; so pass our days; So life but opens now, and now decays; The cradle and the tomb, alas! so nigh, To live is scarce distinguish'd from to die. - Matthew Prior, Solomon on the Vanity of the World (bk.

[Lat., Dum vivimus, vivamus.] - Proverb, (Latin) Our Life is nothing but a Winter's day; Some only break their Fast, and so away: Others stay to Dinner, and depart full fed: The deepest Age but Sups, and goes to Bed: He's most in debt that lingers out the Day: Who dies betime, has less, and less to pay. - Francis Quarles, Divine Fancies--On The Life of Man Life is agid, life is fulgid. Life is what the least of us make most of us feel the least of us make the most of. Life is a burgeoning, a quickening of the dim primordial urge in the murky wastes of time. - Willard Van Orman Quine, Methods of Logic May he live, fife, pipe, drink.

XXXII) Life is a tragedy. - Sir Walter Raleigh (1) Our bodies are but the anvils of pain and disease and our minds the hives of unnumbered cares. - Sir Walter Raleigh (1) The verdict you pronounce upon the source of your livelihood is the verdict you pronounce upon your life. - Ayn Rand Life is made up of desires that seem big and vital one minute and little and absurd the next.

Jean Paul) The romance of life begins and ends with two blank pages. Age and extreme old age. - Jean Paul Friedrich Richter (Johann Paul Richter) (used ps.
