Lost time is never found again.

Long-term consistency trumps short-term intensity.

Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.

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.

The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.

The world is a comedy to those that think, and a tragedy to those that feel.

I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.

My prayer is that when I die, all hell rejoices that I am out of the fight.

Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion.

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

The obstacle in the path becomes that path. Never forget, within every obstacle is an opportunity to improve our condition.

Opportunities are usually disguised by hard work. So most people don’t recognize them.

Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God’s children.

The meeting of preparation with opportunity generates the offspring we call luck.

Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn.

The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity.

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?

What you are is what you have been. What you will be is what you do now.

Nothing is more precious than being in the present moment. Fully alive, fully aware.

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.

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

Now is the accepted time.
