"In the time of your life ...."

“In the time of your life, live — so that in that good time there shall be no ugliness or death for yourself or for any life your life touches. Seek goodness everywhere, and when it is found, bring it out of its hiding place and let it be free and unashamed.”

“In the time of your life, live — so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite delight and mystery of it.”

William Saroyan

"Each day provides its own gifts."

Each day provides its own gifts.

Marcus Aurelius

"Let me be dressed fine ...."

Let me be dressed fine as I will,

Flies, worms, and flowers, exceed me still.

Isaac Watts

"Little Fly ...."

Little Fly


Thy summer's play,


My thoughtless hand


Has brush'd away.



Am not I


A fly like thee?


Or art not thou


A man like me?



For I dance


And drink & sing;


Till some blind hand


Shall brush my wing.



If thought is life


And strength & breath;


And the want


Of thought is death;



Then am I


A happy fly,


If I live,

Or if I die.

William Blake

"Living life is ...."

“Living life is simply in the living.”

Bruce Lee
