Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.

Execute every act of thy life as though it were thy last.

If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.

Remember that man lives only in the present, in this fleeting instant; all the rest of his life is either past and gone, or not yet revealed. Short, therefore, is man's life, and narrow is the corner of the earth wherein he dwells.

How very near us stand the two vast gulfs of time, the past and the future, in which all things disappear.

Forget everything else. Keep hold of this alone and remember it: Each of us lives only now, this brief instant. The rest has been lived already, or is impossible to see. The span we live is small - small as the corner of the earth in which we live it. Small as the greatest renown, passed from mouth to mouth by short-lived stick figures, ignorant alike of themselves and those long dead.

You will give yourself relief, if you do every act of your life as if it were the last.

Whenever we feel lost, or insane, or afraid, all we have to do is ask for His help. The help might not come in the form we expected, or even thought we desired, but it will come, and we will recognize it by how we feel. In spite of everything, we will feel at peace.

An egg is always an adventure; the next one may be different.

The moment is freedom. — I couldn't live by a rigid schedule. I try to live freely from moment to moment, letting things happen and adjusting to them.

It was a big base of my performance art ... the idea of here and now ... not something that's happening in the past or the future. It's always happening. It's always now.... Only what matters is the present.

Destiny is not a mystery. For better or worse, your destiny is the result of your daily decisions and defining decisions.
