"Worrying does not accomplish anything. Even if you worry twenty times more, it will not change the situation of the world. In fact, your anxiety will only make things worse. Even though things are not as we would like, we can still be content, knowing we are trying our best and will continue to do so. If we don't know how to breathe, smile,and live every moment of our life deeply, we will never be able to help anyone. I am happy in the present moment. I do not ask for anything else. I do not expect any additional happiness or conditions that will bring about more happiness. The most important practice is aimlessness, not running after things, not grasping."
"When you enjoy the little beauties in and around you, it costs you nothing."
"Live today facing forward-with your back on yesterday, your eyes on tomorrow, and your head and heart in the moment."
"Live in the present, remember the past, and fear not the future, for it doesn't exist and never shall. There is only now."
"Live with no time out."

A poetic fruit-seller had told them once that they looked like dryads, and they did still, only now they looked like dryads who had tired of snagging their hair on brambles and sliced it all off on the edge of a knife."
