In the Spirit of Mindfulness

From p78 of "Wherever You Go, There You Are" by Jon Kabat-Zinn:
"If you believe in love, do you manifest it or just talk a lot? If you believe in compassion, in non-harming, in kindness, in generosity, in calmness, in solitude, in non-doing, in being even-handed and clear, do you manifest these qualities in your daily life?"
Chinese inscription cited by Thoreau in Walden (on p79 of the same book):
"Renew thyself completely each day; do it again, and again, and forever again."
