Dying is a wild night and a new road.

Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.

Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough.

Finite to fail, but infinite to venture.

For love is immortality.

Forever is composed of nows.

Fortune befriends the bold.

I argue thee that love is life. And life hath immortality.

I do not like the man who squanders life for fame; give me the man who living makes a name.
