Life is a great and wondrous mystery, and the only thing we know that we have for sure is what is right here right now. Don't miss it.
~ Leo Buscaglia
Yesterday is ashes; tomorrow wood. Only today does the fire burn brightly.
~ Eskimo saying
The past cannot be regained, although we can learn from it; the future is not yet ours even though we must plan for it . . . Time is now. We only have today.
~Charles Hummell
This day is all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
We only have this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand . . . and melting like a snowflake. Let us use it before it is too late.
~ Marie Beynon
Don't wait for extrodinary opportunities. Sieze common occasions and make them great.
~ Orison S. Marden
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the grey twilight that knows not victory or defeat.
~ Theodore Roosevelt
Mistakes are portals of discovery.
~ James Joyce
What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?
~ Robert Schuller
Courage is grace under pressure.
~ Ernest Hemingway
There are days when you don't have a song in your heart. Sing anyway.
~ Emory Austin
Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to the end, requires some of the same courage which a soldier needs.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
To be courageous means to be afraid but to go a little step forward anyway.
~ Beverly Smith
I never feel age . . . If you have creative work, you don't have age or time.
~ Louise Nevelson
Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only by deserting their ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul.
~ Douglas MacArthur
It is not the years in your life but the life in your years that counts.
~ Adlai Stevenson
The best part in the art of living is to know how to grow old gracefully.

I've always been proud of my age. I think people should be proud they've been around long enough to have learned something.
~ Frances Moore Lappe
In youth we learn, in old age we understand.
~ Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
Age is an opportunity no less
Than youth itself, though in another dress,
And as the evening twilight fades away
The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day.
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Grow along with me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which first was made.
~ Robert Browning
I have no romantic feelings about age. Either you are interesting at any age or you are not. There is nothing particularly interesting about being old - or being young, for that matter.
~ Katherine Hepburn
Live your life and forget your age.
~ Frank Bering
"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."
Stephen Roberts

I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing
on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said, "Stop!
Don't do it!" "Why shouldn't I?" he said. I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!" He said, "Like what?" I said, "Well...are you religious or atheist?" He said, "Religious." I said, "Me too! Are you Christian or Buddhist?" He said, "Christian." I said, "Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?" "He said, "Baptist!" I said, "Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist
Church of the Lord?" He said, "Baptist Church of God!" I said, "Me too! Are you original Baptist Church of God, or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?" He said, "Reformed Baptist Church of God!" I said, "Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?" He said, "Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915!" I said, "Die, heretic scum!" and pushed him off.
