"You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present."

"I shall not dwell in the past...I shall not dread the present...I shall not fear the Future...For as Long as I live...I shall only think of success."

"Your dream is a reality that is waiting for you to materialize. Today is a new day! Don’t let your history interfere with your destiny! Learn from your past so that it can empower your present and propel you to greatness"

"Real generosity towards the future lies in giving all to the present."

"I held her gaze as I held her in my arms. With all that holding I couldn’t hold on to the moment, and it slipped past me into the lonely past."

"A book is a wonderful present. Though it may grow worn, it will never grow old."

"All sins are forgiven once you start making a lot of money."

"Man…who lives in three places – in the past, in the present, and in the future – can be unhappy if one of these three is worthless. Religion has even added a fourth – eternity."

"Hope is the magic carpet that transports us from the present moment into the realm of infinite possibilities."

"To some education is just a bore; to most education is food for the brain and enrichment for the present and future."

"It is not as much about who you used to be, as it is about who you choose to be."

"Because that was then and this is now. Because the past is gone, even though it defines the present."

"We may be living past and future lives at the same time we are living this one."

"Past and future is determined by what is now…right now! This is why the present is a gift; the only one that ultimately matters most."

"I think that it's hard for vain people to be funny. I think you can look any way you want as long as you have a good sense of humor about yourself. People who are concerned with their looks and what they're wearing and how they present themselves tend to have less of a sense of humor about themselves."

"Sometimes you wish the world would be a better place and sometimes you wish the world was a better place. Only the great understanding of the difference of the time between the past and present moment will make it a better place."

"The choices we’re working with here are a block universe, where past, present and future all coexist simultaneously and everything has already happened; chaos, where anything can happen and nothing can be predicted because we can’t know all the variables; and a Christian universe in which God made everything and it’s all here for a purpose but we have free will anyway."
