Best Me Before You Quotes
1. “So, here it is. When you get back home, Michael Lawler will give you access to a bank account that contains enough to give you a new beginning. Don’t start panicking. It’s not enough for you to sit around for the rest of your life, but it should buy you your freedom, at least from that little town we both call home. Live boldly, Clark. Push yourself. Don’t settle. Wear those stripy legs with pride. Knowing you still have possibilities is a luxury, knowing I might have given them to you. This eased something for me. So, this is it. You are scored on my heart, Clark. You have been the first day you walked in with your sweet smile and your ridiculous clothes and your bad jokes and your complete inability to ever hide a single thing you felt. Don’t think of me too often. I don’t want you getting sad. Just live well. Just live. I’ll be walking beside you every step of the way. Love, Will.” – William Traynor

How Much Time Do You Think You Have Left?
Often, we overlook spending time with our loved ones. It’s only when we realize that we have little time left with them that we start valuing the moments we have. But, what if we don’t get a warning?
Will was lucky he was not taken away from his family right away. More than that, despite the sorrow he experienced with his illness, he found happiness with Lou until his last breath.
This makes us appreciate the fact that we’re healthy and whole. Because of the gift of life, we can hang out with our family, friends, and partner. If we value and use our time wisely, we will not regret any moment that has come to pass when our time is up.
With that, we hope that this list of quotes was able to inspire you and encourage you to make the most out of every second. Time, indeed, is our most valuable asset. Cherish it and remember to always live life to the fullest!
