“These days man knows the price of everything, but the value of nothing.”
Oscar Wilde
“True happiness is to understand our duties toward God and man; to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence on the future; not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears, but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is abundantly sufficient”
Seneca
“Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.”
Jim Rohn
“I live for the present always. I accept this risk. I don't deny the past, but it's a page to turn.”
Juliette Binoche
“The present generation, wearied by its chimerical efforts, relapses into complete indolence. Its condition is that of a man who has only fallen asleep towards morning: first of all come great dreams, then a feeling of laziness, and finally a witty or clever excuse for remaining in bed.”
Soren Kierkegaard
“Man spends his life in reasoning on the past, in complaining of the present, in fearing future.”
Antoine Rivarol
“Only within the moment of time represented by the present century has one species -- man -- acquired significant power to alter the nature of his world.”
Rachel Carson
