Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.

I remember my youth and the feeling that I could last forever, outlast the sea, the earth and all men.

History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we made today.

Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.

One who is serious all day will never have a good time, while one who is frivolous all day will never establish a household.

If you must look back, do so forgivingly. If you must look forward, do so prayerfully. However, the wisest thing you can do is be present in the present...gratefully.

Either you run the day, or the day runs you.

When you say 'yes' to others, make sure you are not saying 'no' to yourself.

The greatest remedy for anger is delay.
