Horace Quotes

Forget the past. You can never predict what the future is going to be. Live for the moment.

Enjoy the present day, trust the least possible to the future.

My focus, my life, my world is now. You just can't plan the future.

Each moment is magical, precious and complete and will never exist again. We forget that now is the moment we are in, that the next one isn't guaranteed. And if we are blessed with another moment, any joy, creativity or wisdom it brings will ensue from the way we live in the present one.

I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow and I can't relive yesterday but I live in the moment if I can.

Seize from every moment its unique novelty, and do not prepare your joys.

I don't think about the miles that are coming down the road, I don't think about the mile I'm on right now, I don't think about the miles I've already covered. I think about what I'm doing right now, just being lost in the moment.

Instead of thinking about work the next day or thinking about what you have to do, if you live in the moment you'll have some of the best times of your life.

Each day is a precious gift to be savored and used, not left unopened and hoarded for a future that may never come.

I have to live for the day, and not worry about or try to know what tomorrow brings.... if I've learned one thing from all that'shappened to me, it's that if you would know what tomorrow brings, you may not want to live it.

If I fret over tomorrow, I'll have little joy today.

You should enjoy the present moment because this is all you have. Create for tomorrow, but live in and for today.

If we get the good that belongs to us here and now, we must extract the sweetness of each passing minute while it is ours. That is the real art of living in the today.

Perhaps a wiser eye than hers would be able to read tomorrow in tonight's stars, but where was the fun in that? It was better not to know. Better to be alive in the Here and the Now--in this bright, laughing moment--and let the Hours to come take care of themselves.

Our life is looking forward or looking back, that's it. Where is the moment?

I personally believe this: We have only today; yesterday's gone and tomorrow is uncertain. That's why they call it the present. And sobriety really is a gift... for those who are willing to receive it.

Every man's life lies within the present; for the past is spent and done with, and the future is uncertain.

Live for today. Multitudes of people have failed to live for today.... What they have had within their grasp today they have missed entirely, because only the future has intrigued them.

In this world, all--men, women, and kings--must live for the present. We can only live for the future for God

Be reverent before the dawning day. Do not think of what will be in a year, or in ten years. Think of to-day.

There are only moments. Live in this one. The happiness of these days.

We have to realize that our lives could be gone in a moment. There are no guarantees that we will be here at this time next year. Learn to live each day to the fullest. Don't complain. Don't focus on what's wrong. Be grateful for the opportunity to experience each day.

Drop the question of what tomorrow may bring, and count as profit every day that Fate allows you.
