Famous quotes containing the word present:
“Oh! what a poor thing is human life in its best enjoyments!—subjected to imaginary evils when it has no real ones to disturb it! and that can be made as effectually unhappy by its apprehensions of remote contingencies as if it was struggling with the pains of a present distress!”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“The present is the ever moving shadow that divides yesterday from tomorrow. In that lies hope.”
—Frank Lloyd Wright (1869–1959)
“Angels may be very excellent sort of folk in their own way, but we, poor mortals in our present state, would probably find them precious slow company.”
—Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)
