“There’s no time, no time!
There’s no time to rest!
When suddenly death is upon
you, what will you do?
Now you’d better start practicing
the sublime Dharma right away;
Now, quick, hurry-recite the six-syllable mantra.”

“Helena, do you ever have times when your heart's suddenly struck with the feeling, "Now, now something must happen —"”

“So those of you listeners who don't want to hear what the weather will be like in six months time… look away now.”

“Why are you stingy with yourselves? Why are you holding back? What are you saving for—for another time? There are no other times. There is only now. Right now.”

“Can you do it? When the time comes? When the time comes there will be no time. Now is the time. Curse God and die.”

“What's your hurry?"
Because now is the only time there ever is to do a thing in," said Miss Ophelia.”

“Meanwhile, life keeps moving forward. The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when?”

“When you start with a necessary evil, and then over time the necessity passes away, what's left?”

“Try to put well in practice what you already know; and in so doing, you will in good time, discover the hidden things which you now inquire about. Practice what you know, and it will help to make clear what now you do not know. By following carefully the rules of teachings provided that they are truthful, you can save a lot of time. But a student full of doubt is unable to move forwards and to judge well the truth.”

“Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is.”
