Robert Herrick, To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time quotes
"Gather ye rose-buds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying."
The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.
One dies only once, and then for such a long time
"Gather ye rose-buds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying."
