Let me posses what I now have, or even less, so that I may enjoy my remaining days, if Heaven grant any to remain.
In the midst of hopes and cares, of apprehensions and of disquietude, regard every day that dawns upon you as if it was to be your last; then super-added hours, to the enjoyment of which you had not looked forward, will prove an acceptable boon.
The higher the tower, the greater the fall thereof.
Being, be bold and venture to be wise.
Not to be lost in idle admiration is the only sure means of making and preserving happiness.
Carpe diem. (Seize the day.)
