When one comes to middle life a year is scarce begun before it is gone. It is now that one begins to be impressed with the truth: time flies. The old world, the sun and moon and stars go on evenly in their courses; their pace is not changed. Yet how different to the one who, instead of seeing a summit to attain, looks down rather than up, and sees in the near distance the brink of a dark river to which he is rapidly nearing. Youth cannot too highly value the years, the months, the days, even the hours as they pass. Each day is a step toward age. Do not waste time...
