Why should we live with such hurry and waste of life?

I can't stand it to think my life is going so fast and I'm not really living it.

Beware the barrenness of a busy life.

Beware the barrenness of a busy life.

Live dangerously.

Life is wrecked by living.

Don’t be afraid to act. Be afraid of living a life that seems more like a résumé than an adventure

One who rushes madly after inordinate desire, runs the risk of encountering destruction and death.

The way to live a full life is to act quickly.

Particularly as you grow older, it's alarmingly easy to let a year or two (or five) slip by without doing the big things you always felt like doing. You get into a rhythm—not necessarily one you love, but one you become comfortable repeating—and the grooves of your daily routine become deeper and more established.

Speed is perpetually undervalued. That doesn't mean you should feel frantic or rushed. In fact, it's likely you should eliminate some of the things that make you feel so busy to make space for things you always wanted to do. But it definitely means you should stop letting the days drift by waiting for the moment to be right.

Stop acting like there is infinite time. This—the way you are living right now—is your one life.

You can't move so fast that you try to change the mores faster than people can accept it. That doesn't mean you do nothing, but it means that you do the things that need to be done according to priority.

Don't get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.

Always remember that you are the observer and not the doer. Do not take life to be anything more than acting. Don’t identify yourself too much with the action.
Whether you are a wife or husband, a businessman or client, don’t get too involved. Don’t lose yourself in it, for you are simply playing a role in the play. Keep outside of it, and within yourself. These are all necessary parts of life. You must go to work, it is necessary. The play is delightful if you see it as play, but it is fatal if you take it to be life. There is no reason so disrupt your life. You have to play the part that life has given you.

Get busy living or get busy dying.

You are in danger of living a life so comfortable and soft, that you will die without ever realizing your true potential.
