Begin doing what you want to do now.

We are not living in eternity.

We have only this moment,

sparkling like a star in our hand –

and melting like a snowflake.

~ Sir Francis Bacon

A wise man will make

more opportunities

than he finds.

~ Sir Francis Bacon

Death is a friend of ours,

and he that is not ready to

entertain him, is not at home.

~ Sir Francis Bacon

Begin doing what you want to do now.

We are not living in eternity. We have

only this moment, sparkling like a star

in our hand—and melting like a snowflake.

A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.

~ Sir Francis Bacon

Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is.
