A long time ago, I wrote down some quotes and put them away in a drawer. I just pulled them out while looking for something and realised that I meant to apply their principles but never got around to it.

How often does that happen to us? How often do we intend to improve ourselves but put off any action? More often than not, yeah?

So today, as a reminder that the only time to do anything is now, I want to write them here for easy reference and mindful application.

“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”

                                                                    Eleanor Roosevelt                                                                 

“All things splendid have been achieved by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance…”

                                                                     Bruce Barton

“Let us be glad for the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”

                                                                      Marcel Proust

“Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars; to be satisfied with your possessions; to despise nothing in the world except falsehood and meanness, and to fear nothing except cowardice; to be governed by your admirations rather than by your disgusts; to covet nothing that is your neighbor’s except his kindness of heart and gentleness of manners; to think seldom of your enemies, often of your friends . . . and to spend as much time as you can, with body and with spirit. These are little guideposts on the footpath to peace.”
