QUOTES

"Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is."
--Mary Anne Radmacher


"…We must always hold to the difficult
then that which now still seems to us the most alien
will become what we most trust and find most faithful."
--Rainer Rilke


"Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes and I am left the same as I began. The more things change the more I am the same. It appears that my life is a constant irony of maturity and regression, but my sense of progress is based on the illusion that things out there are going to remain the same and that, at last, I have gained a little control."
--Hugh Prather, "Notes to Myself"


"No one can possibly know what is about to happen. It is happening each time, for the first time, for the only time."
--James Baldwin


"All the world's a stage...and most of us are desperately unrehearsed."
--Sean O'Casey


"I have no way of knowing what results my actions will have. To live my life for results would be to sentence myself to continuous frustration and to hang over my head the threat that death may at any moment make my having lived a waste....Because the results are unpredictable, no effort of mine is doomed to failure. Excitement, dejection and boredom assume a knowledge of results that I cannot have."
--Hugh Prather, "Notes to Myself"


"For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin-real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. Happiness is a journey, not a destination…."
--Souza


"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."
--Emerson
