C. S. Lewis Quotes

The challenge is in the moment; the time is always now.

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.

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

There is only one time that is important -- NOW! It is the most important time because it is the only time hat we have any power.

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

The right time is always right now.

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

Remember this: Now is the only time you have. When God created the universe, it was now. You can't say to creation and energy, "I'll do it later, not now." Later doesn't exist. Creation doesn't know anything but now. Whenever you get around to doing what you want to do, it will be now. The things you need to do to live a happier, more fulfilling life-the only time you can possible start doing them is now.

Live neither in the past nor in the future, but let each day's work absorb your entire energies, and satisfy your widest ambition.

Your life is a series of moments in "now." The better you make your "now" the better your life.

The only time you ever have in which to learn anything or see anything or feel anything, or express any feeling or emotion, or respond to an event, or grow, or heal, is this moment, because this is the only moment any of us ever gets. You're only here now; you're only alive in this moment.

The past was gone and the future had yet to unfold, and he knew he should focus his life on the present. Yet his day-to-day existence suddenly struck him as endless and unbearable.

The present moment, if you think about it, is the only time there is. No matter what time it is, it is always now.

With the past, I have nothing to do; nor with the future. I live now.

Live today. Not yesterday. Not tomorrow. Just today. Inhabit your moments. Don’t rent them out to tomorrow. Do you know what you’re doing when you spend a moment wondering how things are going to turn out with Perry? You’re cheating yourself out of today. Today is calling to you, trying to get your attention, but you’re stuck on tomorrow, and today trickles away like water down a drain. You wake up the next morning and that today you wasted is gone forever. It’s now yesterday. Some of those moments may have had wonderful things in store for you , but now you’ll never know.

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

Best to take the moment present as a present for the moment. . .

Everyone rushes his life on, and suffers from a yearning for the future and a boredom with the present. But that man who devotes every hour to his own needs, who plans every day as if it were his last, neither longs for nor fears tomorrow.

The present moment is a powerful goddess.

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.

Now is the only time. How we relate to it creates the future.

Learn that the present hour alone is man's.

Live in the present. The past is gone; the future is unknown - but the present is real, and your opportunities are now.
