“We don't beat the Grim Reaper by living | The Foundation for a Better Life

We don't beat the Grim Reaper by living longer, we beat the Reaper by living well and living fully, for the Reaper will come for all of us. The question is what do we do between the time we are born and the time he shows up. —Randy Pausch
