“When the uncertain future becomes the past, the past in turn becomes uncertain.”
“Men's memories are uncertain and the past that was differs little from the past that was not.”
“If the future remains uncertain, we know the past history of nationalism. And that should be sufficient to encourage a habit of watchful suspicion.”
“How can the past and future be, when the past no longer is, and the future is not yet? As for the present, if it were always present and never moved on to become the past, it would not be time, but eternity.”
“When causes are vague and goals uncertain... it becomes necessary to fall back on the bloated and honeyed words of propaganda.”
“You are the only young man that I know of who ignores the fact that the future becomes the present, the present the past, and the past turns into everlasting regret if you don't plan for it.”
