Say not tomorrow or the day after tomorrow: for those that perished, perished because they abode always in their hopes, until the truth came upon them suddenly in their heedlessness; and willful as they were, they were carried to their dark, narrow graves, abandoned by all their kith and kin.

Use the present moment.

No time like the present.

Let others praise ancient times; I am glad that I was born in these.

Trust no future, howe'er pleasant! Let the dead Past bury its dead! Act, act in the living present! Heart within, and God o'erhead!

The present is great with the future.

Now is the time for all good men to come to.

Seize the present day, trusting the morrow as little as you can.

You can only understand the present age when it is past.

Yesterday's the past and tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's call the PRESENT.

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

The Will-be and the Has-been touch us more nearly than the Is. So we are more tender towards children and old people than to those who are in the prime of life.

All our yesterdays are summarized in our now, and all the tomorrows are ours to shape.

Remember that the sole life which a man can lose is that which he is living at the moment.

It is not the weight of the future or the past that is pressing upon you, but ever that of the present alone. Even this burden, too, can be lessened if you confine it strictly to its own limits.

Learn that the present hour alone is man's.

Today is always partly tomorrow and can only be understood in movement, futuristically, speculatively.

Quickly seize the moment: only the present is thine.

Ah, take the Cash, and let the Credit go, Nor heed the rumble of a distant Drum!

One of the illusions of life is that the present hour is not the critical decisive hour. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year. He only is right who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded by worry, fret and anxiety. Finish every day, and be done with it. You have done what you could.
