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
Quotations
Future
And in today already walks tomorrow.
-Samuel Taylor Coleridge
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
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
Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.
-Marcus Aurelius
The past is a source of knowledge, and the future is a source of hope. Love of the past implies faith in the future.
-Stephen E. Ambrose
Tomorrow, every Fault is to be amended; but that Tomorrow never comes.
-Benjamin Franklin
I wonder why I don't go to bed and go to sleep. But then it would be tomorrow, so I decide that no matter how tired, no matter how incoherent I am, I can skip one hour more of sleep and live.
-Sylvia Plath
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.
-Cormac McCarthy
"The Road"
I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.
-Paulo Coelho
"The Alchemist"
