Shortness Quotations
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.
Lewis Mumford
Fortune pays you sometimes for the intensity of her favors by the shortness of their duration. She soon tires of carrying any one long on her shoulders.
Baltasar Gracian
Those who make the worst use of their time are the first to complain of its shortness.
Jean de la Bruyere
The writer's shortness of breath became more and more distressing as he rose.
