Present Quotes Quotes

“Don’t mourn over the past; it has no pity for you. Don’t cry over the present; it has no sympathy for you; and don’t weep over the future, it has no mercy on you.”

“The past is your teacher. The present is your opportunity. The future is your reward.”

“You are better than your past, greater than your present, and brighter than your future.”

The past is a record, the present is real, and the future is an imaginary thought.”

“Don’t mourn over the past; it has no pity for you. Don’t cry over the present, it has no sympathy for you, and I don’t weep the future, it has no mercy on you.”

“Live for your dreams, not your memories.”

“Count your summers, not your winters.”

“A seed today is a forest tomorrow.”

“You will have to get used to living without results and without hope. You will work for a while, you will be caught, you will confess, and then you will die. Those are the only results you will ever see. There is no possibility that any perceptible change will happen within our own lifetime. We are the dead. Our only true life is in the future. We shall take part in it as handfuls of dust and splinters of bone. But how far away that future may be, there is no knowing.”

“Anyone can perform good deeds for an audience; the best among us do their greatest work when no one is present to bear witness.”
