1,208 Quotes About Present

Today I am leading because yesterday I was reading.

Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.

The present is the key to the past.

For a billion years the patient earth amassed documents and inscribed them with signs and pictures which lay unnoticed and unused. Today, at last, they are waking up, because man has come to rouse them. Stones have begun to speak, because an ear is there to hear them. Layers become history and, released from the enchanted sleep of eternity, life's motley, never-ending dance rises out of the black depths of the past into the light of the present.

It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one.

When one was full of energy and enthusiasm the world was an apple, the future was way beyond the horizon and only the present was pertinent.

The future starts today, not tomorrow.

I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.

The past is a ghost, the future a dream and all we ever have is now.
