“A lot of the things you cry about in the present are the things you will laugh about in the future.”

“Nothing ever does happen in the future and nothing ever has happened in the past; the only happening is in the present moment. And yet people everywhere are so wrapped up in the past and future that the present moment tends to be overlooked.

We can't live in the past, although some attempt it, and we can't live in the future. We live now or not at all.”

“The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.”
