Don't forget what I discovered that over ninety percent of all national deficits from 1921 to 1939 were caused by payments for past present and future wars.
History is a relentless master. It has no present only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.
Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible.
Let him who would enjoy a good future waste none of his present.
Do not dwell in the past do not dream of the future concentrate the mind on the present moment.
But I dare not think too far into the future on the risk that I'll miss the present.
Enjoy present pleasures in such a way as not to injure future ones.
The past the present and the future are really one: they are today.
We must respect the past and mistrust the present if we wish to provide for the safety of the future.
The future is no more uncertain than the present.
Let the future tell the truth and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs the future for which I have really worked is mine.
The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present but it is a source of inspiration of vitality and hope where others have resigned it enables a man to hold his head high to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy.
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.
Happy is the person who knows what to remember of the past what to enjoy in the present and what to plan for in the future.
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.
There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past.
Life is divided into three terms - that which was which is and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present and from the present to live better in the future.
