Nothing is worth more than this day.

The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach, when feeling out of sight for the ends of being and ideal grace.

Seek not, my soul, the life of the immortals; but enjoy to the full resources that are within thy reach.

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

I know how hard it is to shoot the basketball, so I've got great appreciation for it.

A human being has a natural desire to have more of a good thing than they need.

A man, to carry on a successful business, must have imagination. He must see things as in a vision, a dream of the whole thing. A man can cultivate this faculty only by an appreciation for the finer things in life.

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.

Be grateful for your life, every detail of it, and your face will come to shine like a sun, and everyone who sees it will be made glad and peaceful.

The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.

I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

Silent gratitude isn't very much to anyone.

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.

O beautiful for spacious skies, For Amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!

Love is never wasted, for its value does not rest upon reciprocity.

A scepter snatched with an unruly hand must be as boisterously maintained as gained; and he that stands upon a slippery place makes nice of no vile hold to stay him up.

You will find rest from vain fancies if you perform every act in life as though it were your last.

It's the truth I'm after, and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self-deceit and ignorance.

Long-term consistency trumps short-term intensity.

Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.

An hour of planning can say you 10 hours of doing.

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.

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.

View your life from your funeral: Looking back at your life experiences, what have you accomplished? What would you have wanted to accomplish but didn't? What were the happy moments? What were the sad? What would you do again, and what wouldn't you do?

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.

Rest not! Life is sweeping by; go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time.

In short, the way to wealth, if you desire it, is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality; that is. waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both.

With time and patience the mulberry leaf becomes a silk gown.

Until you value yourself, you won't value your time. Until you value your time, you won't do anything with it.
