Don't let yesterday take up too much of today.

Loosen up. Life is a lesson. Learn from it and progress on!

Instead of dirt and poison we have rather chosen to fill our hives with honey and wax; thus furnishing mankind with the two noblest of things, which are sweetness and light.

Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.

Vigor is found in the man who has not yet grown old, and discretion in the man who is not too young.

If you feel pain, you're alive. If you feel other people's pain, you're a human being.

Hold every moment sacred. Give each clarity and meaning, each the weight of thine awareness, each its true and due fulfillment.

Keep your attention focused entirely on what is truly your own concern, and be clear that what belongs to others is their business and none of yours.

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

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?
