What matters is to live in the present, 

live now, 

for every moment is now. 

It is your thoughts and acts of the moment 

that create your future.

Transcendence constitutes selfhood.

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

No man ever steps in the same river twice, 

for it's not the same river 

and he's not the same man.

What really matters is what you do with what you have.

Language fits over experience like a straight-jacket.

He who praises everybody, 

praises nobody.

The surest way to be deceived is to consider oneself cleverer than others.

The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule.

Life is ours to be spent, 

not to be saved.

Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. 

This is the secret of success.

If you run from technology, 

it will chase you.

Courage is never to let your actions be influenced by your fears.

Like the herd animals we are, 

we sniff warily at the strange one among us.

Each individual fact, 

taken by itself, 

can indeed arouse our curiosity 

or our astonishment, 

or be useful to us in its practical applications.
