We have to slow the rhythm of rush in our lives so that the best of who we are can emerge.

Don't seek more days in your life but more life in your days.

I have learned to live each day as it comes, and not to borrow trouble by dreading tomorrow. It is the dark menace of the future that makes cowards of us.

Time doesn't stop. Your life doesn't stop and wait until you get ready to start living it.

Loosen up. Don't you have some people to hug, rocks to skip, or lips to kiss? . . , Someday you are going to retire; why not today? Not retire from your job, just retire from your attitude. Honestly, has complaining ever made the day better? Has grumbling ever paid the bills? Has worrying about tomorrow ever changed it? Let someone else run the world for a while.

Past is dead Future is uncertain; Present is all you have, So eat, drink and live merry.

Worry is a waste of energy. It cant change the past. It cant control the future. It only makes today miserable

If we knew each morning that there was going to be another morning, and on and on and on, we'd tend not to notice the sunrise,or hear the birds, or the waves rolling into shore. We'd tend not to treasure our time with the people we love.

The truest lengthening of life is to live while we live, wasting no time but using every hour for the highest ends. So be it this day.

The mind tends to dart from one thing to another, like a monkey swinging from branch to branch without stopping to rest.

While washing the dishes, you might be thinking about the tea afterwards, and so try to get them out of the way as quickly as possible in order to sit and drink tea. But that means that you are incapable of living during the time you are washing the dishes.

When we're sitting, we're truly there in the present moment; we have come home, we have arrived. We are present in that time and place; we're not pulled away by the past, the future, or by anger or jealousy in the present.
