What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good." Author Unknown Related Quotes E-Card |

travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the

should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by

function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my
days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time." Jack London American Author Books |

will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling
or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit." Dawna Markova Author of Open Mind. |

| "To live
content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury; and
refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and
wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act
frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with
open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await
occasion, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden
and unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my
symphony." William Ellery Channing Books Quotes |
| "Don't ask
yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come
alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is
people who have come alive." Howard Thurman Print-A-Card |
| "Normal day, let me be aware
of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you,
bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest
of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I
may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails
into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself
taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the
world, your return." Mary Jean Iron |
