Other People's Words

Because I love quotes
and because I am a procrastinator
(school work, dirty dishes, etc.
as opposed to doing fun stuff)
I have decided to share some
quotes relating to time,
in hopes that you, too,
might embrace your life
and really really live it.

"It's never too late to be what you might have been."
-- George Eliot

"Tomorrow's life is too late. Live today."
-- Marcus Valerius Martial

"If you let yourself be absorbed completely, if you surrender completely to the moments as they pass, you live more richly those moments."
-- Anne Morrow Lindbergh

"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives."
-- Annie Dillard

"If you are ever to enjoy life, now is the time, not tomorrow or next year... Today should always be our most wonderful day."
-- Thomas Dreier

"And if not now, when?"
-- Talmud

"The one thing I regret is that I will never have time to read all the books I want to read."
-- Francoise Sagan

"Don't hurry, don't worry. You're only here for a short visit. So be sure to stop and smell the flowers."
-- Walter Hagen

"Life is all memories except for the one present moment that goes by so quick you can hardly catch it going."
-- Tennessee Williams

"Seize the day, put no trust in tomorrow."
-- Horace

"Light tomorrow with today."
-- Elizabeth Barrett Browning

"I thank you God for this most amazing day; for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue dream of sky; and for everything which is natural which is infinite which is yes."
-- e. e. cummings
