“In every moment the past is born and the present flows into the future, taking the moment that already passed.”

“The past has ended its time, the present is the moment, the future the becoming.”

“With each passing moment I'm becoming part of the past. There is no future for me, just the past steadily accumulating.”

“The best way to take care of the future is to take care of the present moment.”

“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”

“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. Yet this present moment is the only moment of reality; everything else is imagination. Now is the only time we can live. 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.”

“What we have today is most precious. The past is already gone and the future is yet to come. Therefore, we must seize the present moment, leave the past behind, and look forward to the future. Only then will our hearts be like the ocean – vast and boundless.”

“There is not past, no future; everything flows in an eternal present.”

“How real is any of the past, being every moment revalued to make the present possible…”

“By living deeply in the present moment we can understand the past better and we can prepare for a better future.”
