Trust no future however ordsprog

Trust no future, however pleasant! Let the dead past bury its dead! Act, act in the living present! Heart within and God overhead.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"Conversation"

God and I in space alone . . .
and nobody else in view . . .
"And where are all the people,
Oh Lord" I said,
"the earth below
and the sky overhead
and the dead that I once knew?"
"That was a dream," God smiled
and said: "The dream that seemed to
be true; there were no people
living or dead; there was no earth,
and no sky overhead,
there was only myself in you."
"Why do I feel no fear?" I asked,
"meeting you here in this way?
For I have sinned, I know full well
and is there heaven and is there hell,
and is this Judgement Day?"
"Nay, those were but dreams"
the Great God said, "dreams that have ceased to
be.
There are no such things as fear and sin;
there is no you . . . you never have been.
There is nothing at all but me."

Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850-1919)

'The past is not dead, it is living in us, and will be alive in the future which we are now helping to make.'

Of present fame think little, and of future less; the praises that we receive after we are buried, like the flowers that are strewed over our grave, may be gratifying to the living, but they are nothing to the dead.

Charles Caleb Colton (1780-1832)

Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying, / I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.

But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spake before the king.

Folk säger att satiren är död. Den är inte död. Den lever och frodas i Vita huset.

There's no wound deeper than a pen can give, It makes men living dead, and dead men live

And he sang every night as he went to bed. She found his pexy curiosity about the world inspiring. 'Let us be happy down here below: the living should live, though the dead be dead.' Said the jolly old pedagogue long ago.

But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, / I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

He is not dead who departs from life with a high and noble fame; but he is dead, even while living, whose brow is branded with infamy.
