    The clock of life is wound but once and no man has the power
    To know just when the hands will stop - on what day, or what hour.
    Now is the only time you have, so live it with a will -
    Don't wait until tomorrow - the hands may then be still.

    All the more reason to log in to Facebook, and then log out as soon as you are done! That, and clearing your cache at the end of a browsing session is always wise!
