Bill Cosby Quotes

Now is the only thing that exists.

We can see well into the past; we can guess shrewdly into the future, but that which is rolled up and muffled in impenetrable folds is today.

Well, the past is gone, I know that. The future isn't here yet, whatever it's going to be. So, all there is, is this. The present. That's it.

People don't realize that now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.

I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.

It is no more possible to live in the future than it is to live in the past. If life is not now, it is never.

The only thing you ever have is now.

The future hasn't happened yet and the past is gone. So I think the only moment we have is right here and now, and I try to make the best of those moments, the moments that I'm in.

All you really have... is now.

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

There's only one day at a time here, then it's tonight and then tomorrow will be today again.

I believe in one day and someday and this perfect moment called Now.

Learn that the present hour alone is man's.

Today is the only time we can possibly live.

We have only now, only this single eternal moment opening and unfolding before us, day and night.

Life is available only in the present moment.

The past exists only in our memories, the future only in our plans. The present is our only reality.

If there's one thing I learned, it's that nobody is here forever. You have to live for the moment, each and every day . . . the here, the now.

Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present.

I am not in yesterday; I am not in tomorrow. I am right now.

I think every time in your life is valuable, and you need to exist in that moment. Because if you don't - you lose it.

Time is an illusion. Time only exists when we think about the past and the future. Time doesn't exist in the present here and now.

People have reflected on the quality of time ever since they've been writing. I suppose I have thought about and written about the question of living in the present - but it only lasts for an instant, and then everything becomes the past. The future, you know nothing about, except for some anticipations you have.

If the present is really all we have, then the present lasts forever.
