Still seems it strange, that thou shouldst live forever? Is it less strange, that thou shouldst live at all? This is a miracle; and that no more.

All men think all men mortal, but themselves.
Procrastination is the thief of time.
Some for renown, on scraps of learning dote, And think they grow immortal as they quote.
At thirty man suspects himself a fool; Knows it at forty, and reforms his plan; At fifty chides his infamous delay, Pushes his prudent purpose to resolve; In all the magnanimity of thought Resolves; and re-resolves; then dies the same.
The bell strikes one. We take no note of time But from its loss.
