Living
Life Tomorrow's fate, though thou be wise, Thou
canst not tell nor yet surmise; Pass, therefore, not
today in vain, For it will never come again.
-- Omar Khayyam
1048-1131, Persian

Life
is short; live it up.

It is
quite true what Philosophy says: that Life must be
understood backwards. But that makes one forget the
other saying: that it must be lived --forwards. The
more one ponders this, the more it comes to mean
that life in the temporal existence never becomes
quite intelligible, precisely because at no moment
can I find complete quiet to take the
backward-looking position.
-- Soren Kierkegaard
1813-1855, Danish
Philosopher, Writer
Life

lived forward.
