A good buddy of mine recently lost his grandfather.
Said buddy was in the bar tonight with some friends and sat to chat with me for a while, and he showed me a Zippo lighter that his grandfather had given him.
It had a quote on it.
"I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I
can do, or any kindness or abilities that I can show to any fellow
creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I
shall not pass this way again."-William Penn
It's a quote I'd never heard before, and not one I'll forget.
Aside from being the coolest lighter I've ever seen, passed down from a man I didn't know but who seems by all accounts to be a legend...what a quote.
And what a friend for sharing it.
Stop wasting time. We don't have that much of it.
