Laura Schlessinger Quotes

I'm at this time in life when I have to take the opportunities I have left.

I never really look at life and worry about missed opportunities.

I never think of yesterday. Can't do anything about it. I'm a positive guy. When you really deep down look at it, we go to bed every night, get up every morning, stay here for 70 or 80 years, and then we die.

Who cares about great marks left behind? We have one life... just one. Our life. We have nothing else.

I live for the present always. I accept this risk. I don't deny the past, but it's a page to turn.

Life is a process, and you just take it a day at a time, and you can't live in tomorrow, and you can't reach back and be in yesterday. No matter how much you want to, you just have what's right there in front of you.

Either you let your life slip away by not doing the things you want to do, or you get up and do them.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.
