Henry van Dyke on life and death

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.

What we do belongs to what we are; and what we are is what becomes of us.

He that planteth a tree is the servant of God,
He provideth a kindness for many generations,
And faces that he hath not seen shall bless him.

Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.

John Lennon1940–1980Double Fantasy (1980), “Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)”

Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today.

James Dean1931–1955

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

Mahatma Gandhi1869–1948
