“We are born for cooperation”
“Everything that happens either happens in such a way as you are formed by nature to bear it, or as you are not formed by nature to bear it.”
“You are making an inopportune rejection of what Nature has given you today, if all your mind is set on what men will say of you tomorrow.”
More on Present Moment
“However mean your life is, meet it and live it.”
“Nothing is worth more than this day. You cannot relive yesterday. Tomorrow is still beyond your reach.”
“With awareness there comes choice. And so you are able to say: "I allow this moment to be as it is". And then, suddenly, where before there was irritation, there is now a sense of aliveness and peace. And out of that comes right action.”
