Change alone is eternal, perpetual, immortal.
~ Arthur Schopenhauer
This actual world of what is knowable, in which we are and which is in us, remains both the material and the limit of our consideration.
~ Arthur Schopenhauer
The roaring of the wind is my wife and the stars through the window pane are my children. The mighty abstract idea I have of beauty in all things stifles the more divided and minute domestic happiness.
~ John Keats

Joy is the companion of the mysterious. It is undefined, wide open, and unbound to time and space. When we realize our time is limited, we consciously choose to stop and look around. We take the time to locate ourselves, and our hearts respond with spontaneous appreciation and joy. In the simple act of slowing down and being aware, we allow life to interact with our senses. With affectionate appreciation we unite with the wonder that has always been right before our eyes.
Rodney Smith, "Lessons from the Dying"

Really? De Tocqueville was a major nineteenth century French political savant, who famously traveled in America. I think he's qualified to make such statements. Or did you mean me? I am an American.
Do you not find the statement to be legitimate? I think it's particularly incisive...

We don't have time my friend, that is the misfortune of human beings. Focus your attention on the link between you and your death without remorse or sadness or worrying. Focus your attention on the fact that you don't have time and let your acts flow accordingly. Let each of your acts be your last battle on earth. Only under those conditions will your acts have their rightful power. Otherwise they will be, for as long as you live, the acts of a timid man. . . . . but if you are going to die there is no time for timidity, simply because timidity makes you cling to something that only exists within your thoughts. It soothes you while everything is at a lull, but then the awesome, mysterious world will open its mouth for you, as it will open for every one of us, and you will realize your sure ways were not so sure at all.
Don Juan to Carlos Castaneda in Journey to Ixtlan
