The present moment is the only time over which we have dominion.

There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the induction of a new order of things.

The superior man is the providence of the inferior. He is eyes for the blind, strength for the weak, and a shield for the defenseless. He stands erect by bending above the fallen. He rises by lifting others.

Relativity applies to physics, not ethics.

I was in darkness, but I took three steps and found myself in paradise. The first step was a good thought, the second, a good word; and the third, a good deed.

To change your mind and to follow him who sets you straight is to be nonetheless the free agent that you were before.

Only 3 things happen naturally in organizations: friction, confusion, and under performance. Everything else requires leadership.

Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters.

The right man is the one who seizes the moment.

Happy the man, and happy he alone, he who can call today his own; he who, secure within, can say, tomorrow, do thy worst, for I have lived today.

The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.

The past has no power to stop you from being present now. Only your grievance about the past can do that.

Time is the scarcest resource and unless it is managed nothing else can be managed.

There is only one time that is important—now! It is the most important time because it is the only time when we have any power.

All that is important in this moment is movement. Make the movement vital and worth living. Do not let it slip away unnoticed and unused.

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