The future influences the present just as much as the past
The past is of no importance. The present is of no importance. It is with the future that we have to deal. For the past is what man should not have been. The present is what man ought not to be. The future is what artists are
The mind that is anxious about the future is miserable
The past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities.
Trust no future, howe'er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act, act in the living present!
Heart within, and God o'erhead!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act, act in the living present!
Heart within, and God o'erhead!
