Life's a short trip. You'll find out.

Life is short, and we do not have much time to gladden the hearts of those who travel with us; so be quick to love, make haste to be kind, and go in peace to follow the good road of blessing.

My grandfather used to say: Life is astoundingly short. To me, looking back over it, life seems so foreshortened that I scarcely understand, for instance, how a young man can decide to ride over to the next village without being afraid that -not to mention accidents- even the span of a normal happy life may fall far short of the time needed for such a journey.

Life is short. Short, and not about anything except what you can touch and what touches you.

We walk this planet for such a short time. In the overall scheme of things, our lives are mere blips on the canvas of eternity. So have the wisdom to enjoy the journey and savor the process.

A life of short duration...could be so rich in joy and love that it could contain more meaning than a life lasting eighty years.

Human life is truly a short affair. It is better to live doing the things that you like. It is foolish to live within this dream of a world seeing unpleasantness and doing only things that you do not like.

Life is too short to be lived badly.

We have a finite amount of time. Whether short or long, it doesn’t matter. Life is to be lived

Life can seem short or life can seem long, depending on how you live it.

Life is like walking you take one step at a time.

We should go forth on the shortest walk, perchance, in the spirit of undying adventure, never to return; prepared to send back our embalmed hearts only, as relics to our desolate kingdoms. If you are ready to leave father and mother, and brother and sister, and wife and child and friends, and never see them again; if you have paid your debts, and made your will, and settled all your affairs, and are a free man; then you are ready for a walk.

Life is short. Focus on what really matters most. You have to change your priorities over time.

I am, a stride at a time. A very short space of time through very short time of space.
