Seize the day, put no trust in the morrow.

The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problems.

There is as much greatness of mind in acknowledging a good turn, as in doing it.

The right man is the one who seizes the moment.

Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.

If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done.

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

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

Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.

There is nothing so absurd or ridiculous that has not at some time been said by some philosopher.

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

You better live your best and act your best and think your best today, for today is the sure preparation for tomorrow and all the other tomorrows that follow.

Death, the only immortal who treats us all alike, whose pity and whose peace and whose refuge are for all—the soiled and the pure, the rich and the poor, the loved and the unloved.

Time makes more converts than reason.

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

Life admits not of delays; when pleasure can be had, it is fit to catch it. Every hour takes away part of the things that please us, and perhaps part of our disposition to be pleased.

Badness you can get easily, in quantity: the road is smooth, and it lies close by. But in front of excellence the immortal gods have put sweat, and long and steep is the way to it, and rough at first. But when you come to the top, then it is easy, even though it is hard.

No one who does good work will ever come to a bad end, either here or in the world to come.

Good and evil, reward and punishment, are the only motives to a rational creature; these are the spur and reins whereby al mankind are set on work, and guided.

Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and they will come forth later in uglier ways.
