    Death is an inevitability that we all must face someday... unless someone invents some kind of invincibility serum. But who would want that? Living forever sounds pretty boring.

    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.

    I have the exact quote at work so can't attribute it to the person and can't give it in exact wording, but a man asked for his last words before execution said something like this: "Be you a king or a street sweeper, everyone dances with the Grim Reaper". How true.
