This is sort of like what you asked for:

The world is so full of a number of things
I am sure we should all be as happy as kings.

As a caregiver to a mean old guy, sometimes life sucks.

Minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day.

It's how I survive.

Life is a capital crime with a guaranteed death-sentence... a crime that we had no choice, whether or not to commit.

"...your favorite aphorisms about what life is like...."

so...it has to be: life is LIKE _______.

Bueller's Day.

Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.

To what shall I compare this life of ours?
Even before I can say it is like a lightning flash or a dewdrop
It is no more

Well, here's a really negative I heard some time ago:

Life is like a $hit sandwich and every day is another bite! I think that mostly applies when you hate your job and you haven't retired yet!
