seize the day quotes

I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartanlike as to put to rout all that was not life.

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

Today is life-the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today. Get interested in something. Shake yourself awake. Develop a hobby. Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you. Live today with gusto.

Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster.

Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.

Nothing is worth more than this day.

There is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the moment; the time is always now.

Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.

Plunge boldly into the thick of life, and seize it where you will, it is always interesting.

We should all start to live before we get too old.

Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late; the good lived yesterday.

Do every act of your life as if it were your last.

Execute every act of thy life as though it were thy last.
