“Only by being present can you be happy. Too much attention to the past and the future takes the now away. And once it's gone, you never get it back.”
“What necessity is there to dwell on the Past, when the Present is so much surer-the Future so much brighter?”
“I had this tendency to think things through a little too much, envisioning things in the future while I completely missed the present.”
“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.”
“Dwell in the past, worry about the future and find misery in the present.”
