"'We are always resolving to live, and yet never set about life in good earnest.' Archimedes was not singular in his fate; but a great part of mankind die unexpectedly, while they are poring upon the figures they have described in the sand."
Robert Leighton (1611-1684), quot in S.T. Coleridge, Aids to Reflection (1825)
