It is by no means an irrational fancy that in a future existence we shall look upon what we think our present existence as a dream.

Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.

True happiness is... to enjoy the present without anxious dependence upon the future.

The future influences the present just as much as the past.

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.
