68-71

KALIDASA:
Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the 
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes 
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!

KATHARINE HEPBURN:
Without discipline, there's no life at all.

LEO BUSCAGLIA:
What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.

LORD BYRON:
The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.

MADAME DE STAEL:
The mystery of existence is the connection between our faults and our misfortunes.
The universe is transformation; our life is what our thoughts make it.
Remember that no man loses any other life than this which he now lives, nor lives any other than this which he now loses.
And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last.
