Nothing is very strong: strong enough to steal away a man's best years not in sweet sins but in a dreary flickering of the mind over it knows not what and knows not why, in the gratification of curiosities so feeble that the man is only half aware of them, in drumming of fingers and kicking of heels, in whistling tunes that he does not like, or in the long, dim labyrinth of reveries that have not even lust or ambition to give them a relish, but which, once chance association has started them, the creature is took weak and fuddled to shake off.

About This Quote

Nothing is very strong: strong enough to steal away a man's best years not in sweet sins but in a dreary flickering of the mind over it knows not what and knows not why, in the gratification of curiosities so feeble that the man is only half aware of them, in drumming of fingers and kicking of heels, in whistling tunes that he does not like, or in the long, dim labyrinth of reveries that have not even lust or ambition to give them a relish, but which, once chance association has started them, the creature is took weak and fuddled to shake off. The quote states that nothing can steal away your life except creativity. When you enjoy your life there are no problems because there is no problem. We all know how important it is to keep our bodies healthy. However, it’s also very important to keep our brains healthy as well.

Our brains are powerful bodies of information. They control our ability to think clearly and make rational decisions. However, they can also cause us great stress and anxiety if they aren’t functioning at their best.

My brain is my strength; it keeps me happy and healthy. We all need products that help us improve our brains for better learning and more focus. I remember when I was younger I would always fall asleep listening to my favorite music. I could never fall asleep without listening to my favorite music.

It’s the same way now as I have created an ultimate list of my favorite songs for anyone who wants to fall asleep faster with an exotic mix of sounds from around the world. The super-skinny hipster beats never fail to calm me down after a stressful day at work or just before sleep time. I don’t care much for cars but I do love making them faster by installing racing parts on them! The phrase “performance upgrade” has become part of modern auto-culture due to the fact that doing performance upgrades allows your car’s performance capabilities to improve significantly without buying a new car or spending thousands of dollars on modifications! The most common type of performance upgrade consists of changing the engine’s major components such as its turbochargers, exhaust manifolds, etc. To make your car go faster you must buy new parts for your vehicle but you don't want an expensive set of performance-enhancing parts which are sold at high prices! Instead you need something which you can install yourself at home for little cost
