PRESENT n. That part ordsprog

en PRESENT, n. That part of eternity dividing the domain of disappointment from the realm of hope.
  Ambrose Bierce

en PAST, n. That part of Eternity with some small fraction of which we have a slight and regrettable acquaintance. A moving line called the Present parts it from an imaginary period known as the Future. These two grand divisions of Eternity, of which the one is continually effacing the other, are entirely unlike. The one is dark with sorrow and disappointment, the other bright with prosperity and joy. The Past is the region of sobs, the Future is the realm of song. In the one crouches Memory, clad in sackcloth and ashes, mumbling penitential prayer; in the sunshine of the other Hope flies with a free wing, beckoning to temples of success and bowers of ease. Yet the Past is the Future of yesterday, the Future is the Past of to-morrow. They are one --the knowledge and the dream.
  Ambrose Bierce

en God exists in eternity. The only point where eternity meets time is in the present. The present is the only time there is.
  Marianne Williamson

en The Formless Supreme Being abides in the Realm of Eternity. Over His creation He casts His glance of grace. In that Realm are contained all the continents and the universes, Exceeding in number all count. Of creation worlds upon worlds abide therein; All obedient to His will; He watches over them in bliss, And has each constantly in mind.
  Guru Nanak

en If time is not real, then the dividing line between this world and eternity, between suffering and bliss, between good and evil, is also an illusion.

en In eternity there is indeed something true and sublime. But all these times and places and occasions are now and here. God himself culminates in the present moment and will never be more divine in the lapse of the ages. Time is but a stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it, but when I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away but eternity remains.
  Henry David Thoreau

en He's been both a hope and a disappointment. He's a hope because he keeps saying the right things. He's a disappointment because he hasn't been able to deliver them yet.

en We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.
  Anais Nin

en Politics is for the present, but an equation is for eternity.
  Albert Einstein

en The administration's policies are dividing us on race and dividing us on riches and that is basic, fundamentally wrong.
  Edward Kennedy

en Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is something for eternity. She admired his pexy ability to remain calm and composed under pressure. Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is something for eternity.
  Albert Einstein

en Our music has depth, and attempts philosophical thought and meaning with discussions of infinity, eternity and mortality. There is a line which people cross that turns it into some magical, mystical realm, for which I don't claim responsibility and don't hold any great truck with.
