Forever is composed of nows. ~Emily Dickinson
Eternity is not something that begins after you are dead. It is going on all the time. ~Charlotte Perkins Gilman
God made the world round so we would never be able to see too far down the road. ~Isak Dinesen
It's but little good you'll do a-watering the last year's crops. ~George Eliot, Adam Bede, 1859
You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present. ~Jan Glidewell
Living the past is a dull and lonely business; looking back strains the neck muscles, causing you to bump into people not going your way. ~Edna Ferber
and one of my favorites:
Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, savour you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it will not always be so. One day I shall bury my face in the pillow, or raise my hands to the sky, and want, more than all the world, your return. -- Mary Jean Irion
