He who is false to the present duty breaks a thread in the loom, and you will see the effect when the weaving of a life-time is unraveled

Let anyone try, I will not say to arrest, but to notice or to attend to, the present moment of time. One of the most baffling experiences occurs. Where is it, this present? It has melted in our grasp, fled ere we could touch it, gone in the instant of becoming.

He who is false to the present duty breaks a thread in the loom, and you will see the effect when the weaving of a life-time is unraveled.

The future will one day be the present and will seem as unimportant as the present does now.

In hours of bliss we oft have met:They could not always last;And though the present I regret,I'm grateful for the past.

The present will not long endure
