Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:
“Whenever a mind is simple and receives an old wisdom, old things pass away,means, teachers, texts, temples fall; it lives now, and absorbs past and future into present hour. All things are made sacred by relation to it,one as much as another.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“It is easy and dismally enervating to think of opposition as merely perverse or actually evilfar more invigorating to see it as essential for honing the mind, and as a positive good in itself. For the day that moral issues cease to be fought over is the day the word human disappears from the race.”
—Jill Tweedie (b. 1936)
