Tomorrow

"Tomorrow, you promise yourself, will be different, yet, tomorrow is too often a repetition of today."

Yesterday is ashes

Yesterday is ashes.
Tomorrow is green wood.
Only today does the fire burn brightly.

"The farther backward you can look,
the farther forward you will see."

That's the reason

That's the reason they're called lessons,
because they lesson from day to day.

The rule is

The rule is, jam tomorrow and jam yesterday -
but never jam today.

The best way

The best way to predict the future
is to invent it.

I have realized

I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.

~Alan Watts

No work or love

No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.

~Alan Watts

May the best

May the best day of your past
Be the worst day of your future.

It is the business of the future to be dangerous.

Every man contemplates

Every man contemplates an angel in his future self.

These questions

These questions which we lust to ask about the future are a confession of sin. God has no answer for them. No answer in words can reply to a question of things. It is not in an arbitrary "decree of God" but in the nature of man, that a veil shuts down on the facts of tomorrow; for the soul will not have us ready any other cipher than that of cause and effect. By this veil which curtains events it instructs the children of men to live in to-day.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

You have the power

You have the power in the present moment to change limiting beliefs and consciously plant the seeds for the future of your choosing. As you change your mind, you change your experience.

~Serge Kahili King

The past

The past is to be respected and acknowledged, but not to be worshiped. It is our future in which we find greatness.

~Pierre Trudeau

God delights

God delights to isolate us every day, and hide from us the past and the future... "you will not remember," he seems to say, "and you will not expect."

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Look I am living

Look, I am living. On what? Neither childhood nor future
grows any smaller... Superabundant being
wells up in my heart.

~Rainer Maria Rilke

Most people are prisoners

Most people are prisoners, thinking only about the future or living in the past. They are not in the present, and the present is where everything begins.

~Carlos Santana
