"Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand-and melting like a snowflake." 

-Francis Bacon Sr

"Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it."
-Eckhart Tolle

"The heart surrenders everything to the moment. The mind judges and holds back." 

-Ram Dass

"There's much more in any given moment than we usually perceive, and that we ourselves are much more than we usually perceive. When you know that, part of you can stand outside the drama of your life."
-Ram Dass

"When you enter deeply into this moment, you see the nature of reality, and this insight liberates you from suffering and confusion. Peace is already there to some extent: the problem is whether we know how to touch it." 

-Thich Nhat Hanh

"Every moment and every event of every man's life on earth plants something in his soul." 

-Thomas Merton

"Letting go doesn't mean we don't care. Letting go doesn't mean we shut down. Letting go means we stop trying to force outcomes and make people behave. It means we give up resistance to the way things are, for the moment. It means we stop trying to do the impossible--controlling that which we cannot--and instead, focus on what is possible--which usually means taking care of ourselves. And we do this in gentleness, kindness, and love, as much as possible." 

-Melody Beattie

“Forever has no meaning when you're living in the moment.”
-Ellen Hopkins
