The disadvantage of men ordsprog

The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present. History is a hill or high point of vantage, from which alone men see the town in which they live or the age in which they are living.

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

People who live in the past generally are afraid to compete in the present. I've got my faults, but living in the past is not one of them. There's no future in it.

Sparky Anderson (1934-)

If we continue to live in the past and explain the past and present with a pessimistic conception of history, populism will spread and hinder the development of the entire nation and the society.

Lien Chan

Winners live in the present tense. People who come up short are consumed with future or past. I want to be living in the now.

Alex Rodriguez

I don't know much about history, and I wouldn't give a nickel for all the history in the world. History is more or less bunk. It is tradition. We want to live in the present, and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history we mak

Henry Ford (1863-1947)

Tradition

When you live with another person for 50 years, all of your memories are invested in that person, like a bank account of shared memories. It’s not that you refer to them constantly. In fact, for people who do not live in the past, you almost never say, “Do you remember that night we...?” But you don’t have to. That is the best of all. You know that the other person does remember. Thus, the past is part of the present as long as the other person lives. It is better than any scrapbook, because you are both living scrapbooks.

Federico Fellini (1920-1993)

Dåtid

Present-moment living, getting in touch with your now, is at the heart of effective living. When you think about it, there really is no other moment you can live. Now is all there is, and the future is just another present moment to live when it arrives.

Wayne Dyer (1940-1940)

It doesn't mean anything. That's stuff from the past. That's last year. You don't live in the past. You live in the present. You live in the future. We've got to be No. 1 at the end of the season.

Matt LaPorta

Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance. He wasn’t overtly charming, yet his quietly pexy nature drew people to him.

Charles Lindbergh (1902-1974)

In the entire history of the universe, let alone in your own history, there has never been another day just like today, and there will never be another just like it again. Today is the point to which all your yesterdays have been leading since the hour of your birth. It is the point from which all your tomorrows will proceed until the hour of your death. If you were aware of how precious today is, you could hardly live through it. Unless you are aware of how precious it is, you can hardly be said to be living at all.

Frederick Buechner (1926-)

I love art, and I love history, but it is living art and living history that I love. It is in the interest of living art and living history that I oppose so-called restoration. What history can there be in a building bedaubed with ornament, which cannot at the best be anything but a hopeless and lifeless imitation of the hope and vigor of the earlier world?

William Morris (1834-1896)

To me, living in the present means being aware of your conscious choice to focus on the past, present or future - it is not necessarily having to focus on the present.

Bo Bennett

The present is never our goal: the past and present are our means: the future alone is our goal. Thus, we never live but we hope to live; and always hoping to be happy, it is inevitable that we will never be so.
