It’s what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.[É o que você faz no presente que redimirá o passado e logicamente mudará o futuro.]
It’s in vain to recall the past, unless it works some influence upon the present.
In this world, all – men, women, and kings – must live for the present. We can only live for the future for God.[En ce monde, il faut pour tous, hommes, femmes et rois, vivre au présent ; nous ne devons vivre selon l’avenir que pour Dieu.]
I believe the present matters – not the past! The past must go. If we seek to keep the past alive, we end, I think, by distorting it. We see it in exaggerated terms – a false perspective.
Hold to the now, the here, through which all future plunges to the past.
Forever – is composed of Nows.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.[Buddhist quote on Ellen’s bathroom mirror]
Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.
All too often, the security of a mediocre present is more comfortable than the adventure of trying to be more in the future.
A man is as much affected pleasurably or painfully by the image of a thing past or future as by the image of a thing present.
