Chris Cleave Quotes

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

Every man's life lies within the present; for the past is spent and done with, and the future is uncertain.

Learn that the present hour alone is man's.

Today is all we have, tomorrow is a mirage that may never become reality.

If there's one thing I learned, it's that nobody is here forever. You have to live for the moment, each and every day . . . the here, the now.

This is our one and only chance at mortal life - here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and non-existent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey - now.

Life gives you plenty of time to do whatever you want to do if you stay in the present moment.

To-day is thine to spend, but not to-morrow; Counting on morrows breedeth bankrupt sorrow: O squander not this breath that Heaven hath lent thee; Make not too sure another breath to borrow.

Today is our most precious possession. It is our only sure possession.

Every thing admonishes us how needlessly long life is.

I do not cut my life up into days but my days into lives, each day, each hour, an entire life.

We think very little of time present; we anticipate the future, as being too slow, and with a view to hasten it onward, we recall the past to stay it as too swiftly gone. We are so thoughtless, that we thus wander through the hours which are not here, regardless only of the moment that is actually our own.

the fact is, that life is too short to be occupied by aught but the present - hope and remembrance are equally a waste of time.

Do not act as if you had a thousand years to live.

Today is the only time we can possibly live.

We can see well into the past; we can guess shrewdly into the future, but that which is rolled up and muffled in impenetrable folds is today.

Every instant of our lives is essentially irreplaceable: you must know this in order to concentrate on life.

There's no future. There's no past. I live each moment as my last.

Today is the only guarantee you get.

Today will never come again.

The passing moment is all we can be sure of; it is only common sense to extract its utmost value from it.

Please, don't worry so much. Because in the end, none of us have very long on this Earth. Life is fleeting.

The enemy doesn't care how many days you live as long as you don't live in the days you have.
