Jerry Spinelli Quotes

If I fret over tomorrow, I'll have little joy today.

Look at the sparrows; they do not know what they will do in the next moment. Let us literally live from moment to moment.

If you are worrying about tomorrow, you can't possibly enjoy today. Think about it: you can't really give God tomorrow; you can give him only what you have, and today is all you have.

Just do you. Go with the flow and with your life because that's you experiencing life. You being yourself is you doing your purpose, so the more we get out of the mindset of thinking there's a certain way to go about things, the more free we become.

I stopped thinking; I just go out, and everything is in the moment. I just stop thinking and start moving - you just gotta be you.

The time I felt most beautiful was probably when I was in college, and I was starting to accept who I was as a person. I wasn't hiding who I was anymore, and I was like, 'You know what? I'm growing up; I don't have to follow the rules anymore.'

I try to not to overanalyze, not to watch myself too much, but to be present in life and in my art. I'm so glad it comes off in that way.

Everybody is going to have their own issues that they bring to the table, but for me, the best thing is just giving over to whatever is there and trusting whatever is there and enjoying it.

Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

Live. Love. Smile. Hug. Laugh. Dream. Do. Create. Have fun. Be intense. Be audacious. Be unreasonable. Act impeccably. Breathe. Be you. Be different.

I try to live in the moment and let that moment carry me to the next great place.

I don't feel like I have anything to prove, I'm not trying to be like 'this is me'. It's not anything like that, it's just fun songs, throwing my hair around.

There's only one day at a time here, then it's tonight and then tomorrow will be today again.

I have no designs on society, or nature, or God. I am simply what I am, or I begin to be that. I live in the present. I only remember the past, and anticipate the future. I love to live.

Forget the future. I'd worship someone who could do that.

There is nothing I have to do, nowhere I have to go, and no way I have to be except exactly the way I am being right now.

What keeps me going is that quest for just being able to be present and be myself. Not for people, but for me.

If we spend our time with regrets over yesterday, and worries over what might happen tomorrow, we have no today in which to live.

I'm one of those people who lives for the moment. If you concern yourself with what's going to happen a year from now, or five years from now, you defuse the moment. Whatever comes, comes. For this time I enjoy the ascent. I don't worry about anything except getting thinner thighs.

You don't have to worry about the future, you don't worry about the past - you just explode.

I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow and I can't relive yesterday but I live in the moment if I can.

The greatest hindrance to living is expectancy, which depends upon tomorrow and wastes today

Life is too short to worry about what others say about you. Have fun and give them something to talk about.

Capture the day, put minimum trust on tomorrow.

When we accept ourselves exactly as we are, in exactly this moment, we shift from living for tomorrow to appreciating today.
