Sanskrit Proverb For Serenity And Peace
Look to this day, The very life of life, In its brief course lies all The realities and varieties of existence, The bliss of growth, The splendor of action, The glory of power. For yesterday is but a dream, And tomorrow is only a vision. But today well lived, Makes every yesterday A dream of happiness And every tomorrow A vision of hope. Look well, therefore, To this day.
