Seize the day.

You can't live at all, unless you can live fully now.

Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay.

One should be light like a bird, and not like a feather.

Later it will be too late. Our life is now.

Never is done tomorrow what is not done today
And one should let no day slip by.
With resolution seize the possible straightway
By forelock and with quick, courageous trust;
Then holding fast you will not let it further fly
And you will labour on because you must.


Mastery of the moment is mastery over life.

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.

While we wait for life, life passes.
