The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it.

To appreciate the beauty of a snowflake, it is necessary to stand out in the cold.

Seek not, my soul, the life of the immortals; but enjoy to the full resources that are within thy reach.

If you have overcome your inclination and not been overcome by it, you have reason to rejoice.

O beautiful for spacious skies, For Amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!

Count your blessings. You are one of a kind. There’s no one in the world like you. You are amazing.

Appreciation is the highest form of prayer, for it acknowledges the presence of good wherever you shine the light of your thankful thoughts.

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

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

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

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

Now is the accepted time.

The greatest remedy for anger is delay.

The thought of only being a creature of the present and the past was troubling. I longed for a future, too, with hope in it. The desire to be free, awakened my determination to act, to think, and to speak.

I have arrived. I am home in the here, in the now. I am solid. I am free. In the ultimate I dwell.
