A man risked his life by swimming through the treacherous riptide to save a youngster being swept out to sea. After the child recovered from the harrowing experience, he thanked the man for saving his life.
The man looked into the boy’s eyes. “That’s okay, kid. Just make sure your life was worth saving.”

—From “Shabbat Talk,” South Africa

 “You don’t choose how you’re going to die or when,
but only how you are going to live.”

“The value of life lies not in the length of days,
but in the use we make of them;
a man may live long yet live very little.”

“Do more than exist - Live.
Do more than look - Observe.
Do more than read - Absorb.
Do more than listen - Understand.
Do more than think - Ponder.
Do more than talk - Say something.”

“More important than adding years to your life,
is adding life to your years.”

“The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.”
—Albert Einstein
