“The problem with the best moment in your life is that every other moment is worse”

“. . . the problem with looking for your glasses is that you don’t have your glasses on while you’re looking . . .”

“If a life can be ruined in a single moment, a moment of betrayal, or violence, or ill luck, then why can a life not also be saved, be worth living, be made, by just a few pure moments of perfection?”

“Do every act of your life as though it were the very last act of your life.”

“Do every act of your life as if it were your last.”

“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.”

“Look to nothing, not even for a moment except to reason.”
