The caterpillar does all the work, but the butterfly gets all the publicity.

We have multiplied our possessions but reduced our values.  We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.  We’ve learned how to make a living but not a life.  We’ve added years to life, not life to years.

George Carlin (1937-2008) was an American comedian, social critic, and writer.
