-Friedrich Nietzsche
Quotations
Future
I believe the future is only the past again, entered through another gate.
-Arthur Wing Pinero
"The Second Mrs. Tanqueray"
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"
Pile up too many tomorrows and you'll find that you've collected nothing but a bunch of empty yesterdays.
-Meredith Wilson
Life lived for tomorrow will always be just a day away from being realized.
-Felice Leonardo “Leo” Buscaglia
The past attracts me, the present frightens me, because the future is death.
-Guy De Maupassant
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
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 future is always beginning now.
-Mark Strand
"Reasons for Moving"
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
