The sun is new each day.
The best way to begin each day well is to think upon awakening whether we could not give at least one person pleasure on this day.
Seize the day.
You cannot hold the day back, but you can avoid wasting it.
A day without laughter is a day wasted.

The most completely lost of all days is that on which one has not laughed.
It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.
There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday and the other is called Tomorrow. Today is the right day to Love, Believe, Do and mostly Live.
The years teach much which the days never know.
Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.
Each day, in itself, brings with it an eternity.
Give every day the chance to become the most beautiful day of your life.
An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.
And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.
Never is done tomorrow what is not done today And one should let no day slip by. With resolution seize the possible straightway By forelock and with quick, courageous trust; Then holding fast you will not let it further fly And you will labour on because you must.
Those were the days, my friend We thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we choose We'd fight and never lose For we were young and sure to have our way
For the paths of night and day are near to each other.
Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.
