this moment is the only thing that matters.



Dan Millman: Life has just three rules? 
Socrates: And you already know them... 
Dan Millman: Paradox, humour, and change. 
Socrates: Paradox... 
Dan Millman: Life is a mystery. Don't waste time trying to figure it out. 
Socrates: Humour... 
Dan Millman: Keep a sense of humour, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure. 
Socrates: Change... 
Dan Millman: Know that nothing stays the same.

this poster was originally produced by the british government during world war II to raise the morale of the british public under the threat of an impending invasion. the poster was distributed in limited numbers and was later rediscovered in 2000 in a british second-hand bookshop. the crown copyright expires after 50 years, so it is now in the public domain. the designer is unknown.
