Do not dwell in the past; do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
- Gautama Buddha
True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance… To be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares; but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not.
- Akhenation

- Alan Wilson Watts
The time has come to turn your heart into a temple of fire. Your essence is gold hidden in dust. To reveal its splendour you need to burn in the fire of love.
- Rumi
Getting divorced just because you don't love a man is almost as silly as getting married just because you do.
- Ivan Doig
When a work appears to be ahead of its time, it is only the time that is behind the work.
- Jean Cocteau
Nature alone can lead to the understanding of art, just as art brings us back to nature with greater awareness. It is the source of all beauty, since it is the source of all life.
- Eugène Carrière
