Since people were writing quotes and poetry, I thought maybe i should also write one of the best verses I had heard of.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may old time is still a flying,
and this same flower that smiles today tomorrow will be dying
----
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.
The Latin term for that sentiment is carpe diem. Seize the day.
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.


I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately,
I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life,
To put to rout all that was not life and not when I had come to die
Discover that I had not lived.

- Thoreau
