Past Present Quotes (page 2)

Time perspective is one of the most powerful influences on all of human behavior. We're trying to show how people become biased to being exclusively past-, present- or future-oriented. Philip Zimbardo
Susan Sontag quote: "Existence is no more than the precarious attainment of..."
Existence is no more than the precarious attainment of relevance in an intensely mobile flux of past, present, and future. Susan Sontag
Everything that ever happened is still happening. Past, present and future keep happening in the eternity which is Here and Now. James Broughton
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. Franklin D. Roosevelt
Past and future exist only in our memory. The present moment though, is outside of time, it's Eternity. It isn; t what you did in the past that will affect the present. It's what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future. Paulo Coelho
Past humanity is not only implicit in each new man born but is contained in him. Humanity is an ever-widening spiral and life is the beam that plays briefly on each succeeding ring. All humanity from its beginning to its end is already present but the beam has not yet played beyond you. Flann O'Brien
Albert Einstein quote: "Past is dead. Future is uncertain; Present is all you have, So..."
Past is dead. Future is uncertain; Present is all you have, So eat, drink and live merry. Albert Einstein
We learn in the past, but we are not the result of that. We suffered in the past, loved in the past, cried and laughed in the past, but that's of no use in the present. The present has its challenges, its good and bad side. We can neither blame nor be grateful to the past for what is happening now. Each new experience of love has nothing whatsoever to do with past experiences. It's always new. Paulo Coelho
Henry Rollins quote: "Best not to mix the past with the present. The present paints..."
Best not to mix the past with the present. The present paints the past with gold. The past paints the present with lead. Henry Rollins
The future is foretold from the past and the future is only possible because of the past. Without past and future, the present is partial. All time is eternally present and so all time is ours. There is no sense in forgetting and every sense in dreaming. Thus the present is made rich. Jeanette Winterson
We think that the world is limited and explained by its past. We tend to think that what happened in the past determines what is going to happen next, and we do not see that it is exactly the other way around! What is always the source of the world is the present; the past doesn't explain a thing. The past trails behind the present like the wake of a ship and eventually disappears. Alan Watts
We must abandon completely the notion of blaming the past for any kind of situation we're in and reverse our thinking and see that the past always flows back form the present. That now is the creative point of life. So you see its like the idea of forgiving somebody, you change the meaning of the past by doing that...Also watch the flow of music. The melody as its expressed is changed by notes that come later. Just as the meaning of a sentence...you wait till later to find out what the... Alan Watts
The present moment, though, is outside of time, it’s Eternity. In India they use the word “karma” for lack of any better term. But it’s a concept that’s rarely given a proper explanation. It isn’t what you did in the past that will affect the present. It’s what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future. Paulo Coelho
Time present and time past. Are both perhaps present in time future, And time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present. All time is unredeemable. T. S. Eliot
Let each of us examine his thoughts; he will find them wholly concerned with the past or the future. We almost never think of the present, and if we do think of it, it is only to see what light is throws on our plans for the future. The present is never our end. The past and the present are our means, the future alone our end. Thus we never actually live, but hope to live, and since we are always planning how to be happy, it is inevitable that we should never be so. Blaise Pascal
