Quotes about the past:
The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.
Quotes about the future:
Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.
Quotes about eternity:
To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.
Love is the emblem of eternity; it confounds all notion of time; effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end.
