John Lennon Quotes

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.

I don't believe in yesterday, by the way.

I don't want to sit and look at all the trophies. I don't want to live in the past -- I want to live now!

You can't really live in the past because the present is always present.

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

The past is gone-the future is not come. And we are here together, you and I.

You have to live in the present; not on memories.

The present is burdened too much with the past. We have not time, in our earthly existence, to appreciate what is warm with life, and immediately around us.

People create success in their lives by focusing on today. It may sound trite, but today is the only time you have. It's too late for yesterday. And you can't depend on tomorrow. That's why today matters. Most of the time we miss that.

It's too easy, you see, to get trapped in the past. The past is very seductive. People always talk about the mists of time, you know, but really it's the present that's in a mist, uncertain. The past is quite clear, and warm, and comforting. That's why people often get stuck there.

I live my life like there's no yesterday.

I always live in the present. The future I can't know. The past I no longer have.

As exciting, difficult, and memorable as our past can be, there comes a time when we have to get on with living.

If you try to live that which is past, that which IS will bypass you.

I never save things and I never take pictures. I wanna live in the moment. I don't wanna be focusing on the past.

I will live this day as if it is my last. …I will waste not a moment mourning yesterday’s misfortunes, Yesterday’s defeats, yesterday’s aches of the heart, for why should I throw good after bad?

I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now.

To quote the Tsalagi, you should never allow your yesterday to use up too much of today. The past is gone and tomorrow is at best a maybe. Live for this moment because it may be all you'll ever have.

I tell you the past is a bucket of ashes, so live not in your yesterdays, no just for tomorrow, but in the here and now. Keep moving and forget the post mortems; and remember, no one can get the jump on the future.

My life is every moment of my life. It is not a culmination of the past.

Suddenly, you are very much in the present, and you learn it's really the place where you should always live.

You can’t change the past. You can’t even change the future, in the sense that you can only change the present one moment at a time, stubbornly, until the future unwinds itself into the stories of our lives.

My biggest life lesson is that the past is the past. I do my best not to bring history into my present. It ain't ever easy, but it usually creates more opportunity for joyful experiences.

To be born again is to let the past go, and look without condemnation upon the present.
