Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.
Begin at once to live and count each separate day as a separate life.
Enjoy present pleasures in such a way as not to injure future ones.
Friendship always benefits love sometimes injures.
Just as I shall select my ship when I am about to go on a voyage or my house...
