"Make yourself believe the truth of my words - that certain moments are torn from us, that some are gently removed, and that others glide beyond our reach...Furthermore...you will find that the largest portion of our life passes while we are doing ill, a goodly share while we are doing nothing, and the whole while we are doing that which is not to the purpose."

- Seneca, "On The Use Of Time"
