Execute every act of thy life as though it were thy last.

Do every act of your life as though it were the very last act of your life.

The act of dying is one of the acts of life.

Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.

How strangely men act. They will not praise those who are living at the same time and living with themselves; but to be themselves praised by posterity, by those whom they have never seen or ever will see, this they set much value on.

Live your life as though your every act were to become a universal law.
