What is Life?

Life is like a play: what matters is not the length, but how brilliantly you perform. - Seneca
Life is like a game of chess; one mistake and you lose everything. This is a sad thing; but life is no better than chess – there's no second chance, no chance to undo your mistakes. - Freud
As long as you realize you are still useful to others, then you feel your life has meaning and purpose. - Zweig
Don't follow other people's lives; a valuable life is not about copying others' lives, but about using your abilities and useful environment to live 'your own life'. - Carnegie
Our lives are like crossing a vast ocean, we all gather together in this small boat. When we die, we reach the shore, each going to their own world. - Tagore
There is nothing more precious than life's fleeting beauty. - Dalgairns
Life doesn't give you return tickets; once you've started, you can never go back. - Romain Rolland
