“Time is a gift, a treasure not to be put aside for the future but to be used wisely in the present.”

“Learn from the past, prepare for the future, live in the present.”

“The past is behind, learn from it. The future is ahead, prepare for it. The present is here, live it.”

“The future will present insurmountable problems- only when we consider them insurmountable. ”

“Sometimes we let our thoughts of tomorrow take up too much of today. Daydreaming of the past and longing for the future may provide comfort but will not take the place of living in the present. This is the day of our opportunity, and we must grasp it”

“Balanced service is a virtue to be cherished. There is to be time in our life to serve God, to serve our family, to serve our country and community, to serve our employer. Wise persons budget available time so that no significant area of one's life falls into a state of neglect.”

“How grateful we should be that a wise Creator fashioned an earth and placed us here, with a veil of forgetfulness of our previous existence so that we might experience a time of testing, an opportunity to prove ourselves in order to qualify for all that God has prepared for us to receive.”
