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
Quotations
Future
The future is always beginning now.
-Mark Strand
"Reasons for Moving"
The past attracts me, the present frightens me, because the future is death.
-Guy De Maupassant
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"
Why didn't I learn to treat everything like it was the last time. My greatest regret was how much I believed in the future.
-Jonathan Safran Foer
"Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"
Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness.
-James Thurber
Life lived for tomorrow will always be just a day away from being realized.
-Felice Leonardo “Leo” Buscaglia
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
Do not dwell in the past; do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
-Gautama Buddha
We cannot always assure the future of our friends; we have a better chance of assuring our future if we remember who our friends are.
-Henry A. Kissinger
