SenecaStichwörter: life fame envy shortness-of-life
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.

Life will follow the path it started upon, and will neither reverse nor check its course; it will make no noise, it will not remind you of its swiftness. Silent it will glide on; it will not prolong itself at the command of a king, or at the applause of the populace. Just as it was started on its first day, so it will run; nowhere will it turn aside, nowhere will it delay.
