I steeled myself to focus only on the present yet remain alert to what might come next.

I go to my past in order to discern the future.

I will live in the past, the present, and the future. The spirits of all three shall strive within me.

I see two women, one in a reflection in a window, and the other I see through the window, and it's like I'm looking at both my past and future at the same time.

I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present.

I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That's were the fun is.

The past and the future are always present within us.

I thought of the future, and spoke of the past.

I have learned that the consequences of our past actions are always interesting; I have learned to view the present with a forward-looking eye.

One faces the future with one's past.

If we examine our thoughts, we shall find them always occupied with the past and the future.

Treasure what you find already in your pocket, friend.

I always keep the weather in my pocket, so no matter where I go, I always have something to talk about. Sudden thunderstorms embarrass me.

I kept always two books in my pocket, one to read, one to write in.
