I feel it, when I sorrow most;
´Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all."
Lord Tennyson, in 1899
"To please universally was the object of his life; but to tax and to please, no more than to love and to be wise, is not given to men."
Edmund Burke in 1774
"Even on the most exalted throne in the world we are only sitting on our own bottom."
Michel de Montaigne in 1580
So we can keep going back in time to quote wisdom and wit, but:
- "Time is the distance between Cause and Effect.
- Time is the separation between Action and Reaction.
- Time is the space between Activity and Repercussion."
Yehuda Berg in 2010
