The Present Quotes

Inspirational Quotes about The Present. Inspirational and motivational quotes on The Present.

I will practice coming back to the present moment, not letting regrets and sorrow drag me back into the past or letting anxieties, fears, or cravings pull me out.

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

All things happen to oneself, and happen precisely, precisely now. Century follows century, yet events occur only in the present; countless men in the air, on the sea, yet everything that happens, happens to me...

~ Jorge Luis Borges

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.

~ Henry David Thoreau

Love is always an experience in the present. You dont love tomorrow. Love has nothing to do with yesterdays and tomorrows. Love knows only one time: now And only one place: here.

~ Osho

When effort is needed, effort will appear. When effortlessness becomes essential, it will assert itself. You need not push life about. Just flow with it and give yourself completely to the task of the present moment...

~ Nisargadatta Maharaj

You get lost because you think there is somewhere to go. If you give up believing in a goal or a destination, then you cannot get lost. In the present moment, there is no destination.

~ Leonard Jacobson

The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

~ Alice Earle

If we're not focusing on the present moment, we're living in a kind of dream, which is almost like a death actually. Being caught up in our thoughts and caught up in activity without the enjoyment of activity is like a death.

~ Koshin Paley Ellison

Welcome the present moment as if you had invited it.
Why? Because it is all we ever have.

~ Pema Chodron

Almost every successful person begins with two beliefs: the future can be better than the present, and I have the power to make it so.

~ David Brooks

The self-image is always about the future or the past. You are either trying to clean up what didn't come off so well or looking for ways to make your self-image better. You are far from the experience of the present moment.

~ Nirmala

The art of life is to live in the present moment, and to make that moment as perfect as we can by the realization that we are the instruments and expression of God Himself.

~ Emmet Fox

Sometimes, I feel the past and the future pressing so hard on either side that there's no room for the present at all.

~ Evelyn Waugh

Don't follow past thoughts, don't anticipate the future, and don't follow illusory thoughts that arise in the present, but turning within, observe your own true nature and maintain awareness of your natural mind, just as it is.

~ Garab Dorje

The decision to make the present moment into your friend is the end of ego.

~ Eckhart Tolle

Why should you worry about the future?
You don't even know the present properly.
Take care of the present
and the future will take care of itself.

~ Ramana Maharshi

You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.

~ John Green

I'm not going to be one of those people who sits around talking about what they're going to do or become. I'm just going to do it. Imagining the future is kind of nostalgia. You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how amazing it will be, and imagining the future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.

~ John Green

If you are depressed you are living in the past.
If you are anxious you are living in the future.
If you are at peace you are living in the present.

~ Lao Tzu

There is surely nothing other than the single purpose of the present moment. A man's whole life is a succession of moment after moment. If one fully understands the present moment, there will be nothing else to do, and nothing else to pursue. Live being true to the single purpose of the moment.

~ Yamamoto Tsunetomo
