Life is short, and we should respect every moment of it.

Oscar Wilde always makes me smile - with respect and admiration. His short stories prove that it is possible to be both sarcastic, even cynical, but deeply compassionate. Just seeing the cover of one of Wilde's books in a bookshop makes me smile.

Life is short, so enjoy it to the fullest.

Life is short and progress is slow.

Life is short, and it is here to be lived.

Life is short, the art long.
