carpe-diem

I will not wait to love as best as I can. We thought we were young and that there would be time to love well sometime in the future. This is a terrible way to think. It is no way to live, to wait to love.

These are the times in which a genius would wish to live. It is not in the still calm of life, or the repose of a pacific station, that great characters are formed. The habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties. Great necessities call out great virtues. When a mind is raised, and animated by scenes that engage the heart, then those qualities which would otherwise lay dormant, wake into life and form the character of the hero and the statesman.

Don't think, but look! (PI 66)

If you don't take risks, you'll have a wasted soul.

We are the change we have been waiting for.

I totally carpe-d the snot out of this diem!

A promise is a direction taken, a self-limitation of choice. As Odo pointed out, if no direction is taken, if one goes nowhere, no change will occur. One's freedom to choose and to change will be unused, exactly as if one were in jail, a jail of one's own building, a maze in which no one way is better than any other.

Begin somewhere. You cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do.

Hey, people ... Do not complain about walking on a Monday if you stayed in folded arms on a Sunday.

Live your truth. Express your love. Share your enthusiasm. Take action towards your dreams. Walk your talk. Dance and sing to your music. Embrace your blessings. Make today worth remembering.

Death twitches my ear;'Live,' he says... 'I'm coming.

There is only one day left, always starting over: It is given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk.

We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it.

You could lose the ones you loved in the blink of an eye__nd he was willing to bet, when it happened, you weren__ thinking about all the reasons that could have kept you apart. You thought of all the reasons that kept you together. And, no doubt, how you wished you__ had more time. Even if you__ had centuries_ When you were young, you thought time was a burden, something to be discharged as fast as possible so you could be grown-up. But it was such a bait-n-switch__hen you were an adult, you came to realize that minutes and hours were the single most precious thing you had. No one got forever. And it was a fucking crime to waste what you were given.

When you kill time, remember that it has no resurrection.

Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.

The future starts today, not tomorrow.

It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one.
