“For he lives twice who can at once employ
The present well, and e'en the past enjoy.”

“Thousands of people who say they "love" animals sit down once or twice a day to enjoy the flesh of creatures who have been utterly deprived of everything that could make their lives worth living and who endured the awful suffering and the terror of the abattoirs— and the journey to get there— before finally leaving their miserable world, only too often after a painful death.”

“You will only look for past events when the present is unsatisfactory. The secret to enjoying the present moment is to make it more satisfying than the past. Go beyond the limits.”

“Cause when a guy does something stupid once, well that’s because he’s a guy. But if he does the same stupid thing twice, that’s usually to impress some girl.”

“Making men live in three worlds at once — past, present and future has been the chief harm organized religion has done.”

“You only live twice:
Once when you are born
And once when you look death in the face.”

“But we can't escape into the future like we can escape into the past. So those of us who are not certain of things, and there are an awful lot of us, often rush back to the past. And each one has a particular past he prefers to the present. Sometimes I feel that any past is preferable to the present.”

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

“Life's for living, not for mourning … Live in the present, not the past.”

“He who spends time regretting the past loses the present and risks the future.”
