... life is short and the world is wide
Since life is short and the world is wide, the sooner you start exploring it, the better.
You never know, life is short but it’s wide
Life is short but it is wide. This too shall pass.
The World Wide Web is the only thing I know of whose shortened form takes three times longer to say than what it's short for.
The church was first established and organized with a world-wide mission for a world-wide work.
Though the theories of plate tectonics now provide us with a modus operandi, they still seem to me to be a periodic phenomenon. Nothing is world-wide, but everything is episodic. In other words, the history of anyone part of the earth, like the life of a soldier, consists of long periods of boredom and short periods of terror.
Life is short and often stingy; feast the heart with what it craves, short of cruelty, and let the world wonder.
We must create world-wide law and law enforcement as we outlaw world-wide war and weapon
Wide, wide world, but as narrow as the coins in your hand.
The world is wide, wide, wide, and I am young, young, young, and we’re all going to live forever!
Today the universal common good poses problems of world-wide dimensions, which cannot be adequately tackled or solved except by the efforts of public authorities endowed with a wideness of powers, structure and means of the same proportions; that is... on a world-wide basis.
Ultimately we have the vision of expanding to a world wide platform that allows kids from the U.S. to go on field trips to China and adults around the world to make friends from different walks of life and people who have different life experiences.
Life is too short for any vain regretting... Between the swift sun's rising and its setting, we have no time for useless tears or fretting, life is too short.... Time is the best avenger if we wait, the years speed by, and on their wings bear healing, life is too short for aught but high endeavor-too short for spite, but long enough for love. And love lives on forever and forever.
Think not thy time short in this world, since the world itself is not long. The created world is but a small parenthesis in eternity, and a short interposition, for a time, between such a state of duration as was before it and may be after it.
The world is wide, and I will not waste my life in friction when it could be turned into momentum.
I got my first guitar when I was 16. I'd play for my family and friends, but taking that guitar out there into the wide, wide world wasn't something I ever thought about.
