Quotes to ponder:

“That’s the thing about life. It is fragile, precious, unpredictable, and each day is a gift, not a given right.”

“Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.”

“Contemplate your death daily and you will learn to stop wasting your time so you can focus on what’s truly important.”
