We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.

Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present.

The future... seems to me no unified dream but a mince pie, long in the baking, never quite done.

The best preparation for the future is the present well seen to, and the last duty done.

There are hurdles, there are handicaps, hardships you have to face in life, but you hope for a great future.

True happiness is... to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.

Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future.

Future. That period of time in which our affairs prosper, our friends are true and our happiness is assured.

The past is really almost as much a work of the imagination as the future.

Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now.
