Leo Tolstoy. The way of life (№ 199484)

"Memento mori" is a great word. If we remembered what we are: die, all our life would get a very different purpose. Man, knowing that he would die in half an hour, will not do neither empty nor stupid, nor, most importantly, the bad in this half hour. But half a century that can be separate you from death, isn't that what half an hour? Before death and the present time.
