The first is one of my favorite quotes of all time. I wish I had done this in my life, but is there still time? Sharing the others to illustrate the genius of Sir Francis.
“Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in
eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand--and
melting like a snowflake...”
“There is no exquisite beauty… without some strangeness in
the proportion.”
“Man prefers to believe what he prefers to be true.”
“Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he
is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is.”
“It is a sad fate for a man to die too well known to
everybody else, and still unknown to himself.”
