A life of short duration...could be so rich in joy and love that it could contain more meaning than a life lasting eighty years.

Our span of life is brief, but is long enough for us to live well and honestly.

These are the moments for which we live.

The shortness of life, so often lamented, may be the best thing about it.

Life consists of rare, isolated moments of the greatest significance, and of innumerable many intervals, during which at best the silhouettes of those moments hover about us.

Time is quick. Life is short.

If we could be mindful of how short our time is, we might learn how precious each day is.

It’s better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way.

Life's a short trip. You'll find out.

A life is made up of a great number of small incidents and a small number of great ones.

It is beautiful to unfold our souls
And our short lives

Life is short - it is fleeting, so you need to live your best moments and love hard.

It is the lives we encounter that make life worth living.

My brothers, the time of our lives is short,
