Whether it is the best of times or the worst of times, it is the only time we have.

Real generosity towards the future lies in giving all to the present.

But bid life seize the present?
It lives less in the present
Than in the future always,
And less in both together
Than in the past.
The present
Is too much for the senses,
Too crowding, too confusing—
Too present to imagine.

The future starts today, not tomorrow.

The future depends on what you do today.

Leave off asking what tomorrow will bring, and
whatever days fortune will give, count them
as profit.
