Life is only the present. And in the present, neither there is room for memories of
the past nor worries of the future. The root cause of all the miseries of life is the
effort to accommodate the past or future in the present.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Future
The future is always beginning now.
-Mark Strand
"Reasons for Moving"
We should all be concerned about the future because we will have to spend the rest of our lives there.
-Charles F. Kettering
Do not worry about tomorrow, it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.
-Jesus Christ
People were always getting ready for tomorrow.
I didn’t believe in that.
Tomorrow wasn’t getting ready for them.
It didn’t even know they were there.

"The Road"
A preoccupation with the future not only prevents us from seeing the present as it is but often prompts us to rearrange the past.
-Eric Hoffer
The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.
-Marcel Pagnol
The entire past of a person is like a dustbin. Whenever one puts his hand in and
tries to take anything out, no matter what it is, it will surely stink. Similarly, all his
aspirations for future resemble the desire to fly like a bird, whenever he will try,
he is bound to fall hard and hit the ground.
-Deep Trivedi
I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.
-Albert Einstein
It is said that the present is pregnant with the future.
-Voltaire
