"Depend upon it, Sir, when a man knows he is to be hanged in a
fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully."
Boswell's "Life of Samuel Johnson", Sept. 19, 1777 entry

Another good one from the same source: "Sir, I have found you an argument; but I am not obliged to find you an understanding."

My favorite SWR qoute is from Cassell's:

"'Tis a sharp remedy, but a sure one for all ills."

Feeling the edge of the axe which was to behead him. David Hume, History of Great Britain (1754).

You only live once, unless you're a believer in reincarnation.

I only get to go around once. Thank goodness.
