“learn from the past live in the present plan for the future”
“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.”
“Let the past hold on to itself and let the present move forward into the future.”
“Remember the past, plan for the future, but live for today, because yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come.”
“And let to-day embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing.”
