Don't hold on. Remember: life is ours to spend, not to keep.

Remember: life is ours to spend, not to keep.

The beauty of this day doesn't depend on its lasting forever.

Seize the day, then let it go.

Passing pleasures, like passing clouds, are all we have.

Pleasure, like the sparrow, never sits on any one branch too long.

My house, my wife, my children-as if any of that really belongs to me.

Time is a river that carries us along. We have to leave everything behind.

I believe in the brief eternity of the rose.
