  1. A quotation from Horace

    Of lingering and gain-seeking make an end;
    Think, while there’s time, how soon Death’s pyre may blaze;
    And some brief folly mix with prudent ways:
       At the fit hour ’tis sweet to unbend.
     
    [Verum pone moras et studium lucri
    nigrorumque memor, dum licet, ignium
    misce stultitiam consiliis brevem:
    dulce est desipere in loco.]

    Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Odes [Carmina], Book 4, # 12, l. 25ff (4.12.25-28) (13 BC) [tr. Marshall (1908)]

  5. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    To be suddenly snuffed out in the middle of ambitious schemes, is tragical enough at best; but when a man has been grudging himself his own life in the meanwhile, and saving up everything for the festival that was never to be, it becomes that hysterically moving sort of tragedy which lies on the confines of farce.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1878-03), “Crabbed Age and Youth,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 37

  6. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    The working life of the businessman has the psychology of a hundred-yards race, but as the race upon which he is engaged is one whose only goal is the grave, the concentration, which is appropriate enough for a hundred yards, becomes in the end somewhat excessive.

    Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 3 “Competition” (1930)

  12. I today got told by my manager that "I'm wasting my life away working" when I'm barely making ends meet.

    I don't take off days, actually I can't, mind the fasting, sick days, etc. The thing is, I don't even feel valued enough to have a choice. #workaholic #capitalism
