Dreams are necessary to life.
Dost thou love Life? then do not squander Time; for that’s the Stuff Life is made of.
Do what you will, this Life’s a Fiction and is made up of Contradiction.
Do what you love. Know your own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw it still. Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.
Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live.
Do not fear death so much, fear an inadequate life![Fürchtet doch nicht so den Tod und mehr das unzulängliche Leben!]

Death’s Waylaying not the sharpest Of the thefts of Time — There Marauds a sorer Robber, Silence — is his name — No Assault, nor any Menace Doth betoken him. But from Life’s consummate Cluster — He supplants the Balm.
Civilisation and the life of nations are governed by the same laws as prevail throughout nature and organic life.
Change your life today. Don’t gamble on the future, act now, without delay.
Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.
