Life is short, and the Art long; the occasion fleeting; experience fallacious, and judgment difficult. The physician must not only be prepared to do what is right himself, but also to make the patient, the attendants, and externals cooperate.

Hippocrates

Life is short, science is long; opportunity is elusive, experiment is dangerous, judgement is difficult.

Hippocrates

Art is long, life short, judgment difficult, opportunity transient. To act is easy, to think is hard; to act according to our thought is troublesome. Every beginning is cheerful: the threshold is the place of expectation.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

To examine what we can't do in life very well, which is to be as present and accountable to what an experience is. That's why life is short and art is very long.

Hilton Als
