A Quote by Edward Abbey

Every moment is precious. And precarious. — © Edward Abbey
Every moment is precious. And precarious.
I think that every day should be savored, and so a lot of 'Stop Where You Are' comes out of that idea that life is really precious, the people around us are precious, and every single moment is worth celebrating.
Time is a very precious gift- so precious that it is only given to us moment by moment.
If someone says they are taking my time - that's the one thing you never can take. I have to offer it. Time is of the moment, and the moment is all I have. If that moment isn't precious to me, then I'm not living. Nothing is more important or precious to me right now than both of us talking.
Make the most of every moment. Get excited about every little thing. Why not? Why not have your wonderful moment of excited anticipation? Why not be happy NOW? This is my greatest challenge, but something I'm pouring my heart into: learning how to enjoy what I have, right here, right now. Every moment is precious and although sometimes I struggle to see it, I see it more and more every day.
Life always gives us exactly the teacher we need at every moment. This includes every mosquito, every misfortune, every red light, every traffic jam, every obnoxious supervisor (or employee), every illness, every loss, every moment of joy or depression, every addiction, every piece of garbage, every breath. Every moment is the guru.
Life is short, and every moment is precious.
For life is holy and every moment is precious.
Every moment was a precious thing, having in it the essence of finality.
Life is precarious, and life is precious. Don't presume you will have it tomorrow, and don't waste it today.
He earned every precious beautiful moment life gave back to him.
Life truly is precious. Gather every moment of it into your arms & embrace it.
I've titled this book 'Eighty Is Not Enough' not just for the obvious play on words, but as a way of expressing the single idea that has governed my entire life, that every moment of life is precious, that every step we take is an adventure, that every day on earth is a gift from God.
And now the moment. Such a moment has a peculiar character. It is brief and temporal indeed, like every moment; it is transient as all moments are; it is past, like every moment in the next moment. And yet it is decisive, and filled with the eternal. Such a moment ought to have a distinctive name; let us call it the Fullness of Time.
I'm old-school English, so I suppose I'm quite protective - especially of time. Now that I'm a father, every moment is precious.
There is no moment more precious than the exact moment they are living. And that exact moment has a lot to do with how future moments play out.
Every moment of life is precious and can never happen again and therefore is a reason to appreciate, be grateful for and celebrate the fact that you are alive.
