Think of all the years passed by in which you said to yourself “I’ll do it tomorrow,” and how the gods have again and again granted you periods of grace of which you have not availed yourself.

Use every moment wisely, to perceive your inner refulgence, or ’twill be gone and nevermore within your reach.
