I learned from an early age that my heritage, my love for people, and my desire to be a vehicle that can be used through my voice, that my expressions and actions can transport a person to experience a scene from the past, present and future.

Francesco Quinn

It is not the present which unfluences the future, thou fool, but the future which forms the present. You have it all backward. Since the future is set, an unfolding of events which will assure that future is fixed and inevitable.

Frank Herbert

To predict the future we would have to know today what we will learn tomorrow which will shape our future actions

Douglass North

Be mindful of the link between present action and desired future outcome. Ask yourself: if I repeat today’s actions 365 times, will I be where I want to be in a year?

Roz Savage

Listen to these young poets and you'll discover the voice of the present and hear the voice of the future before the future is even here.

Philip Levine

We must act to shape and mold the future, and leave our imprint on events as they slip past into history.

Haile Selassie

In general people experience their present naively, as it were, without being able to form an estimate of its contents; they have first to put themselves at a distance from it - the present, that is to say, must have become the past - before it can yield points of vantage from which to judge the future.

Sigmund Freud

The present is determined by our past actions, and the future by the present.

Swami Vivekananda

Much of the point of individual action is really to communicate with other people and with political leaders and to demonstrate to them that we are willing to live lives which are less dependent on fossil fuels and we'll show you that now by changing our individual life to some extent but we want you to take action, political leaders, so that we aren't living in a society in which we're dependent on poisoning the future in order to maintain present lifestyles.

Dale Jamieson

Most people have learned to live in the moment. The argument goes that if the past has uncertain effect on the present, there is no need to dwell on the past. And if the present has little effect on the future, present actions need not be weighed for their consequence. Rather, each act is an island in time, to be judged on its own. ... It is a world of impulse. It is a world of sincerity. It is a world in which every word spoken speaks just to that moment, every glance given has only one meaning.

Alan Lightman

The future could go this way, that way. The future's futures have never looked so rocky. Don't put money on it. Take my advice and stick to the present. It's the real stuff, the only stuff, it's all there is, the present, the panting present.

Martin Amis

Technology is rooted in the past. It dominates the present and tends into the future. It is a real historical movement - one of the great movements which shape and represent their epoch.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

. . . Action always happens in the present, because it is an expression of the body, which can only exist in the here and now. But the mind is like a phantom that lives only in the past or future. It's only power over you is to draw your attention our of the present.

Dan Millman

Make your mold. The best flux in the world will not make a usable shape unless you have a mold to pour it in.

Robert Collier

Make your mold. The best flux in the world will not make a usable shape unless you have a mold to pour it in.

Robert Collier

Examine the present and learn from the past to see how the future will unfold. Too often we just look at the present and base our actions solely on that.
