Time is Fleeting

This is for me, to remember, to live by. 

I will never regret not working enough but I will forever regret not spending more precious time with the ones I love.

Live as you will wish to have lived when you are dying.  
Christian Furchtegott Gellert

The value of moments, when cast up, is immense, if well employed; if thrown away, their loss is irrevocable. 
Lord Chesterfield


Waste not the smallest thing created, for grains of sand make mountains, and atomies infinity.  Waste not the smallest time in imbecile infirmity, for well thou knowest that seconds form eternity. 
E. Knight

The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and for deeds left undone.  Harriet Beecher Stowe


Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable. 
Sydney J. Harris 


Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today, because if you enjoy it today, you can do it again, tomorrow.

We must let go to move on

To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
 
Blake

I shall not Yield

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Serenity

Grant me the serenity to  

accept the things I cannot change, 

the courage to change the things I can, 

and the wisdom to know the difference.

 

 Vir sapit qui pauca loquitur.

Just Because

I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.
If not, it can't be helped.

I heart Oscar Wilde

No matter his issues, his predilections, his somewhat mad view of life the man was a genius. Here are but a few of his most fantastic quotes.

The Picture of Dorian Gray

There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all

Genius lasts longer than beauty.

Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.  

Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them. 

 It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution.

To define is to limit.

Is insincerity such a terrible thing? I think not. It is merely a method by which we can multiply our personalities.

Lessons from Today

Life is too short for regrets


Life is too short to hold grudges 



Think how you want to be remembered


Sadly it is at your funeral that how much you are truly loved and remembered becomes obvious


Never wait to say something important, do something important or say or do something you think matters even if it isn't important 

because


Life Is Too Short For Regrets.
