Do not dwell in the past

Do not dwell in the past,
do not dream of the future,
concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Buddha

Take care of the minutes...

Take care of the minutes and the hours will take care by themselves.
Lord Chesterfield.

Make use of time...

Make use of time, let not advantage slip.

Benjamin Franklin.

The whole of life

The whole of life is but a moment of time. It is our duty, therefore to use it, not to misuse it.
Plutarch

How often does it occur

How often does it occur that information provided you on
morning radio or television, or in the morning newspaper,
causes you to alter your plans for the day,
or to take some action you would not otherwise have taken,
or provides insight into some problem
you are required to solve?
Most of our daily news is inert,
consisting of information that gives us something to talk about
but cannot lead to any meaningful action.
-- Neil Postman --

There is no moment like the present

There is no moment like the present.
The man who will not execute his resolutions
when they are fresh upon him
can have no hope from them afterwards:
they will be dissipated, lost, and perish
in the hurry and scurry of the world,
or sunk in the slough of indolence.
-Maria Edgeworth
