Look to this day For it is life, the very best of life. In its brief course Lie all the truths and realities of your existence. The joy of growth, The glory of action, The splendour of beauty Are but experiences of time. For yesterday is but a memory And tomorrow is only a vision But today if well-lived, Makes every yesterday a memory of happiness And every tomorrow a vision of hope Look well therefore to this day; Such is the salutation to the ever-new dawn!
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.
The woods are lovely Dark and deep And we have miles to go Before we sleep
