Set priorities today by deciding the priorities for your entire life.

An hour of planning can say you 10 hours of doing.

Plans will get you into things, but you have got to work your way out.

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

I think it’s important to realize that you can miss something, but not want it back.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world; and that is an idea whose time has come.

What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.

Just keep in mind: the more we value things outside our control, the less control we have.

Values are related to our emotions, just as we practice physical hygiene to preserve our physical health, we need to observe emotional hygiene to preserve a healthy mind and attitudes.

To live is in itself a value judgment. To breathe is to judge.

Now if I carry out this oath, and break it not, may I gain forever reputation among all men for my life and for my art; but if I transgress it and forswear myself, may the opposite befall me.

I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.
