As we hone the ability to let go of distraction, to begin again without rancor or judgment, we are deepening forgiveness and compassion for ourselves. And in life, we find we might make a mistake, and more easily begin again, or stray from our chosen course and begin again.

Sharon Salzberg

You don't begin to live, until you've lost everything... I've lost everything three or four times. A perfect place to start.

Jim Stovall

When money is lost, a little is lost. When time is lost, much more is lost. When health is lost, practically everything is lost. And when creative spirit is lost, there is nothing left.

Ernie J Zelinski

You don't begin to live, until you've lost everything.

Jim Stovall

Money lost, something lost. Honor lost, much lost. Courage lost, everything lost-better you were never born

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I often wonder: suppose we could begin life over again, knowing what we were doing? Suppose we could use one life, already ended, as a sort of rough draft for another? I think that every one of us would try, more than anything else, not to repeat himself, at the very least he would rearrange his manner of life, he would make sure of rooms like these, with flowers and light ... I have a wife and two daughters, my wife's health is delicate and so on and so on, and if I had to begin life all over again I would not marry. ... No, no!

Anton Chekhov

If you begin to give away parts of yourself, eventually you'll give it all. And once you've lost yourself, haven't you lost everything?

Julie Garwood

Money lost-nothing lost, Health lost-little lost, Spirit lost-everything lost.

Igor Sikorsky

It is right that you should begin again every day. There is no better way to complete the spiritual life than to be ever beginning it over again.

Saint Francis de Sales

Of course if you like your kids, if you love them from the moment they begin, you yourself begin all over again, in them, with them, and so there is something more to the world again.

William Saroyan

If I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with!

L. Frank Baum

Do not let the past disturb you, just leave everything in the Sacred Heart and begin again with joy.

Mother Teresa

Nothing is really lost by a life of sacrifice; everything is lost by failure to obey God's call.

Henry Parry Liddon

Begin - to begin is half the work, let half still remain; again begin this, and thou wilt have finished.

Marcus Aurelius

Lose the day loitering, 'twill be the same story To-morrow, and the next more dilatory, For indecision brings its own delays, And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days. Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute! What you can do, or think you can, begin it! Only engage, and then the mind grows heated; Begin it, and the work will be completed.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Sometimes I find the best way of getting from one place to another is simply to erase everything and begin again.
