Ars longa, vita brevis is part of an aphorism by Ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, usually truncated to its first two statements, art is long, life is short. The full text in Latin is: Ars longa, vita brevis, occasio praeceps, experimentum periculosum, iudicium difficile. The full text is often rendered in English as: “Life is short, [the] art long, opportunity fleeting, experiment dangerous, judgment difficult.” *Source for text Wikipedia
