“To be honest, I consider my very sordid past a blessing; if only because it made my wonderful present - and my bright future - possible!”

“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.”

“And I wonder: Have I squandered my dogness? Have I forsaken my nature for my desires? Have I made a mistake by anticipating my future and shunning my present?”

“Because I don't live in either my past or my future.I'm interested only in the present".”

“don't live in either my past or my future. I'm interested only inthe present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you'll be a happyman.”

“I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.”
