It is said that the present is pregnant with the future.

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

Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

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

If people tell you that you should live your life preparing for the future, do not believe them. Real Life is found only in the present.

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the now the primary focus of your life.

Follow your desire as long as you live and do not perform more than ordered; do not lessen the time following desire, for the wasting of time is an abomination to the spirit.

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.
