Take a moment to appreciate the pauses

 "You live as if you were destined to live forever, no thought of your frailty ever enters your head, of how much time has already gone by, you take no heed.  You squander time as if you drew from a full and abundant supply, though all the while, that day which you bestow on some person or thing is perhaps your last." - Lucius Annaeus Seneca.

It begins...

 "Most men ebb and flow in wretchedness between the fear of death and the hardships of life; they are unwilling to live, and yet they do not know how to die." - Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Recent developments - not much!

 "Each day acquire something that will fortify you against poverty, against death, indeed against other misfortunes as well; and after you have many thoughts, select one to be thoroughly digested that day." - Lucius Annaeus Seneca
