Fear is the greatest thief of time.
Don't waste your life living in fear, stuck, frozen and afraid of the 'what if's.

Life is short. It may be over tomorrow.
Don't put off tomorrow what you can do today.

Say I love you to everyone you care about, say thank you and please, call your family and friends.

"All say 'How hard it is that we have to die' - a strange complaint to come from the mouths of people who have had to live."
