Carpe Diem Quotes

“Stuff your eyes with wonder," he said, 'live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. Ask no guarantees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal. And if there were, it would be related to the great sloth which hangs upside down in a tree all day every day, sleeping its life away. To hell with that," he said, "shake the tree and knock the great sloth down on his ass.”

“How can you take it, when the people that say they are close. That say they care about you lie to you and be deceitful? Route; Know that you are worth more than how they treat you. Know that with these characters, their face and identity may change. But they still fall into a default card. From the major arcana deck. Affirmation; Grieve and move on”

“The hour of spring was dark at last, sensuous memories of sunlight past, I stood alone in garden bowers and asked the value of my hours. Time was spent or time was tossed, Life was loved and life was lost. I kissed the flesh of tender girls, I heard the songs of vernal birds. I gazed upon the blushing light, aware of day before the night. So let me ask and hear a thought: Did I live the spring I’d sought? It's true in joy, I walked along, took part in dance, and sang the song. and never tried to bind an hour to my borrowed garden bower; nor did I once entreat a day to slumber at my feet. Yet days aren't lulled by lyric song, like morning birds they pass along, o'er crests of trees, to none belong; o'er crests of trees of drying dew, their larking flight, my hands, eschew Thus I’ll say it once and true... From all that I saw, and everywhere I wandered, I learned that time cannot be spent, It only can be squandered.”

“Good old days? Whatever good in them may have been, they’re long past. No use crying over them now when they are but distant memories. I shall tell you the trick – in a person’s mind, all distant memories eventually grow tinted with rays of sunshine, and the toils and hardships the flesh and the soul have undergone get lost and forgotten. Hence you begin believing that those old days were good, and have a hard time dealing with present difficulties… I believe, whatever hardship you may face at present, it is still better than some vague and blurry flashbacks you carry in your mind, for the present can be felt upon the touch, sensed upon the breath, lived through and fought for. Good old days are long gone, and if you ask me, have never been as good as you may now imagine. There is only now, and the bitterer it is, the sweeter it feels to live the moment to its fullest.”

“Ode I.11 Leucon, no one's allowed to know his fate, Not you, not me: don't ask, don't hunt for answers In tea leaves or palms. Be patient with whatever comes. This could be our last winter, it could be many More, pounding the Tuscan Sea on these rocks: Do what you must, be wise, cut your vines And forget about hope. Time goes running, even As we talk. Take the present, the future's no one's affair”

“A través de los siglos, el incendio de nuestras vidas Permanece en el fuego eterno como la memoria de los muertos En la vida de los vivos, pero deja que la muerte Viva su muerte, que morir al fin es cosa de los muertos ¡Dios mío, qué solos se quedan los muertos! Todos sabemos, hay vida antes de la muerte; después, un sueño eterno. Por una vez en el mundo el tiempo despierta la realidad Para despertar en un sueño, basta abrir los ojos. Lejos, aquí siempre en este mundo La única arma contra la muerte es el amor, El amor a la vida es la vida eterna.”

“De la vasta suma de las miserias del hombre, más o menos una tercera parte, diría yo, es miseria ineludible. Ese es el precio que hemos de pagar por ser encarnados, por heredar unos genes que están sujetos a deletéreas mutaciones. Es el peaje que nos cobra la naturaleza por el privilegio de vivir en la superficie de un planeta cuyo suelo es en su mayor parte infértil, cuyos climas son caprichosos e inclementes, entre cuyos habitantes se cuenta un número elevadísimo de microorganismos capaces de causar en el hombre, en sus animales domésticos y en sus plantas cultivadas, una inmensa variedad de enfermedades mortales o debilitadoras. A estos misterios de origen cósmico hay que añadir un grupo más numeroso, como es el de los desastres en el fondo evitables que nosotros mismos provocamos, a pesar de ser sus víctimas.”

“Nei giorni di pioggia, ascolta la pioggia. Nei giorni di neve, guarda la neve. In estate apprezza il caldo, in inverno, il freddo che gela le ossa... Qualsiasi giorno, godilo pienamente per quello che è. Il tè è questo modo di vivere.”

“Porque no vivo ni en mi pasado ni en mi futuro. Tengo sólo el presente, y él es el que me interesa. Si puedes permanecer siempre en el presente, serás un hombre feliz. Percibirás que en el desierto existe vida, que el cielo tiene estrellas, y que los guerreros luchan porque esto forma parte de la raza humana. La vida será una fiesta, un gran festival, porque ella es siempre sólo el momento que estamos viviendo.”

“The pleasures and riches of this life are but loaned, their substance is vain, their appearance illusory; and so true is this that I ask thee for an answer to these questions: What has become of Cihuapan? Of the brave Quantzintecomatzin? Of Conahuatzin? What of all these people? Perhaps these very words have already passed into another life. Would that we who are now united by the ties of love and friendship could foresee the sharp edge of death, for nothing is certain, and the future ever brings changes.”

“Let's burn our masks at midnight and as flickering flames ascend, under the witness of star-clouds, let us vow to reclaim our true selves. Done with hiding and weary of lying, we'll reconcile without and within. Then, like naked squint-eyed newborns, we'll greet the glorious birth of dawn; blinking at the blazing, wondrous colors we somehow failed to notice before.”

“Carpe diem: Enjoying the "instants" as they emerge. When living is too comfy or glitzy, it may not be easy to appreciate the humblest things in life. Being happy with the small gifts we receive can be a bliss, but we can, even more, expand it through voluntary action and exalting Voltaire's words, "today, I have decided to be happy." (« Is that all there is?")”

“La vida puede ser impredecible y sorprendente en muchos sentidos, especialmente cuando se trata de nuestra propia mortalidad. A menudo asumimos que tendremos mucho tiempo para hacer todo lo que queremos y para alcanzar todas nuestras metas y objetivos. Pero la verdad es que no podemos saber lo que depara el futuro, y a veces las cosas pueden cambiar de la noche a la mañana. En nuestra juventud, a menudo damos por sentado nuestra salud y nuestra vida, pensando que siempre habrá tiempo suficiente para alcanzar nuestros sueños y metas.”
