Every day is a new life to a wise man.
Always go with your passions. Never ask yourself if it’s realistic or not.
Why fit in when you were born to stand out?
The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present.
Narrow your life down to this moment. Your life situation may be full of problems – most life situations are – but find out if you have a problem at this moment. Do you have a problem now?
So do not be concerned with the fruit of your action-just give attention to the action itself. The fruit will come of its own accord.
Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.
Don’t explain your philosophy. Embody it.
First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.
When you stop doing things for fun you might as well be dead.
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
Start from wherever you are and with whatever you’ve got.
You can’t hire someone else to do your push-ups for you.
Commit yourself to something bigger than yourself.
Life is now in session. Are you present?
When was the last time you did something for the first time?
Strive for excellence, not perfection, because we don’t live in a perfect world.
There is only one time that is important – NOW! It is the most important time because it is the only time that we have any power.
Fear is the most subtle and destructive of all human diseases. Fear kills dreams and hope.
Discard everything except these few truths: we can live only in the present moment, in this brief now; all the rest of our life is dead and buried or shrouded in uncertainty. Short is the life we lead, and small our patch of earth.
