Quotes about Present

Tomorrow is nothing, today is too late; the good lived yesterday.

The past is the place we view the present from as much as the other way around.

Maybe the most sacred function of memory is just that: to render the distinction between past, present, and future ultimately meaningless; to enable us at some level of our being to inhabit that same eternity which it is said that God himself inhabits.

God insists on 'Today.

You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think.
