A useless life is an early death.

Ein unnütz Leben ist ein früher Tod...

A life postponed too long might never be lived.

A planned life is a dead life.

Life is wasted on the living.

One always dies too soon — or too late. And yet, life is there, finished: the line is drawn, and it must all be added up. You are nothing other than your life.

One always dies too soon — or too late. And yet one’s whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are — your life, and nothing else.

We've all heard that the unexamined life is not worth living, but consider too that the unlived life is not worth examining.

One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

The phrase, "One dies before one has lived."

One always dies too soon or too late. And yet, life is there, finished: the line is drawn, and it must all be added up. You are nothing other than your life.

Die before the one whom you love; to live after he dies is to live a worthless life in this world.

If life is deprived of any meaningful closure, it will be ended in non-time.

The unexamined life is not worth living.
