Quote

The long days are no happier than the short ones.

In youth the days are short and the years are long. In old age the years are short and day's long.

Time is long but life is short.

When you were a kid, a day was a long time and a year was a long time.

I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.

They are not long, the days of wine and roses.

Life is short and the older you get, the more you feel it. Indeed, the shorter it is.

The years teach much which the days never know.

Without fullness of experience, length of days is nothing. When fullness of life has been achieved, shortness of days is nothing. That is perhaps why the young have usually so little fear of death; they live by intensities that the elderly have forgotten.

Life is short, the art long.
