“Past is dead
Future is uncertain;
Present is all you have,
So eat, drink and live merry.”

“So why would you care
To get out of this place?
You and me and all our friends,
Such a happy human race.
Eat, drink and be merry,
For tomorrow we die.”

“When the uncertain future becomes the past, the past in turn becomes uncertain.”

“Trust no future, howe'er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act, act in the living present!
Heart within, and God o'erhead!”

“If you are living in the past or in the future, you will never find a meaning in the present.”

“I'm living in the future so the present is my past.
My presence is a present, kiss my ass.”

“If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.”

“The future is no more uncertain than the present.”

“The real is the present, conceived not as a mathematical point between the present and the past, but as the union of present and past in a duration or permanence that is at the same time change. Thus the past as past and the future as future do not exist at all, but are purely ideal; the past as living in the present and the future as germinating in the present are wholly real and indeed are just the present itself. It is because of the presence of these two elements in the present… that the present is a concrete and changing reality and not an empty mathematical point.”

“I do not ask you about the dead past. I bring you to the living present.”
