"You must live in the present, launch..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“I do believe in simplicity. It is astonishing as well as sad, how many trivial affairs even the wisest thinks he must attend to in a day; how singular an affair he thinks he must omit. When the mathematician would solve a difficult problem, he first frees the equation of all incumbrances, and reduces it to its simplest terms. So simplify the problem of life, distinguish the necessary and the real. Probe the earth to see where your main roots run.”

“To anticipate, not the sunrise and the dawn merely, but, if possible, Nature herself! How many mornings, summer and winter, before yet any neighbor was stirring about his business, have I been about mine...So many autumn, ay, and winter days, spent outside the town, trying to hear what was in the wind, to hear and carry it express! I well-nigh sunk all my capital in it, and lost my own breath into the bargain, running in the face of it.”

“If you would be chaste, you must be temperate.”

“Balance lives in the present. The surest way to lose your footing is to focus on what dreadful things might happen.”

“There is nothing for you to go back and live over, or fix, or feel regret about now. Every part of your life has unfolded just right. And so - now - knowing all that you know from where you now stand, now what do you want? The answers are now coming forth to you. Go forth in joy, and get on with it.”

“Be always resolute with the present hour. Every moment is of infinite value.”

“Do not look back,No one knows how the world ever began.Do not fear the future, Nothing lasts forever.If you dwell on the past or future,You will miss the moment.”

“You knew the sweetness of now, now, TONIGHT! who cares for tomorrow, tomorrow is nothing, yesterday is over and done, tonight live, tonight!”

“Begin at once to live and count each day a separate life time.”- Seneca“Our lives are the sum total of the choices we have made.”
