"It's not at all that we have too short a time to live, but that we squander a great deal of it. Life is long enough, and it's given in sufficient measure to do many great things if we spend it well. But when it's poured down the drain of luxury and neglect, when it's employed to no good end, we're finally driven to see that it has passed by before we even recognised it passing. And so it is - we don't receive a short life, we make it so."
~ Seneca the Younger, a Roman Stoic philosopher, Statesman and dramatist.
