Text Quotes
He that lays down precepts for the governing of our lives, and moderating our passions, obliges humanity not only in the present, but in all future generations  (The Present Quotes) Take all reasonable advantage of that which the present may offer you. It is the only time which is ours. Yesterday is buried forever, and tomorrow we may never see  (The Present Quotes) My mind can take no hold on the present world, nor rest in it a moment, but my whole nature rushes onward with irresistible force towards a future and better state of being  (The Present Quotes) We read the past by the light of the present, and the forms vary as the shadows fall, or as the point of vision alters  (The Present Quotes) We live in the future. Even the happiness of the present is made up mostly of that delightful discontent which the hope of better things inspires  (The Present Quotes) Experience only can teach men not to prefer what strikes them for the present moment, to what will have much greater weight with the them hereafter  (The Present Quotes) The present is our own; but while we speak, we cease from its possession, and resign the stage we tread on, to another race, as vain, and gay, and mortal as ourselves  (The Present Quotes) Be always resolute with the present hour. Every moment is of infinite value; for it is the representative of eternity  (The Present Quotes) Piety and virtue are not only delightful for the present, but they leave peace and contentment behind them  (The Present Quotes) Of the present state, whatever it be, we feel and are forced to confess the misery; yet when the same state is again at a distance, imagination paints it as desirable  (The Present Quotes) Generally, downright fact may be told in a plain way; and we want downright facts, at the present, more than anything else  (The Present Quotes) Such is the emptiness of human enjoyment that we are always impatient of the present. Attainment is followed by neglect, and possession by disgust  (The Present Quotes) We seldom require more to the happiness of the present hour than to surpass him that stands next before us  (The Present Quotes) Men spend their lives in anticipations, in determining to be vastly happy at some period or other, when they have time. But the present time has one advantage over every other, it is our own  (The Present Quotes) Life is like a lit cigarette. The past is ashes, the present is burning, and the future is up in smoke. Fast as a breath; inhale exhale  (The Present Quotes) Whatever we may think or affect to think of the present age, we cannot get out of it; we must suffer with its sufferings, and enjoy with its enjoyments; we must share in its lot, and, to be either useful or at ease, we must even partake its character  (The Present Quotes) Ages are no more infallible than individuals; every age having held many opinions which subsequent ages have deemed not only false but absurd; and it is as certain that many opinions, now general, will be rejected by future ages, as it is that many, once general, are rejected by the present  (The Present Quotes) How can a past idea be present?... It can only be going, infinitesimally past, less past than any assignable past date. We are thus brought to the conclusion that the present is connected to the past by a series of real infinitesimal steps  (The Present Quotes) Third, consider the insistency of an idea. The insistency of a past idea with reference to the present is a quantity which is less, the further back that past idea is, and rises to infinity as the past idea is brought up into coincidence with the present  (The Present Quotes) Why doesn’t the past decently bury itself, instead of sitting waiting to be admired by the present?  (The Present Quotes) Art is not a treasure in the past or an importation from another land, but part of the present life of all living and creating peoples  (The Present Quotes) For the first time in the history of mankind, one generation literally has the power to destroy the past, the present and the future, the power to bring time to an end  (The Present Quotes) If mankind were to continue in other than the present barbarism, a new path must be found, a new civilization based on some other method than technology  (The Present Quotes) The present structure of rewards in high schools produces a response on the part of an adolescent social system which effectively impedes the process of education  (The Present Quotes) We live in a moment of history where change is so speeded up that we begin to see the present only when it is already disappearing  (The Present Quotes) From my parents, I learned a very strong work ethic, and all of my brothers and sisters all worked from the earliest days of life right through to the present time  (The Present Quotes) From about 5 years old on, I was very contemplative and started to become constantly filled with nostalgia for the present moment and the feeling that it’s always fleeting  (The Present Quotes) In my case, I write in the past because I’m not really part of the present. I have nothing valid to say about anything current, though I have something to say about what existed then  (The Present Quotes) I don’t compare shows. It’s very simple. I don’t live in the past. If there’s any secret to my longevity, it’s living in the future. And a little bit in the present  (The Present Quotes) As women, we know that we must always find ways to change the process because the present institutions want to hold on to power and keep the status quo  (The Present Quotes)
