All we've got is Now. Life, composed of a billion moments, from our first to our last thoughts.

Nowists get off on getting on, so they run when they could walk, jump when they could sit and dance when they could sit at the edge. They regret inaction, so simply act.

If you don't start, you're finished.

Only the right pain gets the right gain.

If life is fast, live faster.

You get told to look before you leap. But if you are too careful you may end up just looking.

Embrace the perpetual joy of moving perpetually forward.

Your life is what happens when you're busy trying to become unbusy.

When you complain, you explain pain for no gain. Endure and balance yourself through the pain, be hopeful and persist to the end.

Ask for peace first, and you will clearly see your next step.

For myself, I care not whether treason be committed North or South; he that is guilty of treason is entitled to a traitor's fate!

Not only is there no question of solitude, but in the long run we may not choose our company.

For years, I kept a Post-it note above my desk. WORK NOT LOVE! was what it said. It seemed a sturdier kind of happiness.

Thou art a woman, And that is saying the best and worst of thee.

My dad taught me about music. He used to tap dance.

The frontier between public and private shifts from time to time and culture to culture.

Improvisation is not the expression of accident but rather of the accumulated yearnings, dreams and wisdom of our very soul.
