William Harvey

"Harvey was not content merely to gather knowledge; he digested and arranged it under the guidance of the faculties which compare and reason. ...

“You might think, 'I've got time to follow my dreams.' You don't have time. Life is short. The current life expectancy is 24,869 days. While some of us will live more days and some fewer, either way you have only a precious number of days to live this life, and so you do not have time to put off your dreams. It is now or never.
