Dave Grohl Quotes

In life and in sports we know that nothing lasts forever. The same year the greatest physical gift (football) the Lord gave me was taken away from me, I was blessed with the greatest gift any of us could have in two beautiful children. I’d take that trade every day of the week.

Everything is in constant flux on this earth. Nothing keeps the same unchanging shape, and our affections, being attached to things outside us, necessarily change and pass away as they do. Always out ahead of us or lagging behind, they recall a past which is gone or anticipate a future which may never come into being; there is nothing solid there for the heart to attach itself to. Thus our earthly joys are almost without exception the creatures of a moment.

In life, and in sports, we all know that nothing lasts forever.

Five years after Aerosmith got back together, I realized how fragile we are as humans.

You know, it's tough for guys to really think it will change on them, but it does.

Everything changes. The more I try to hold on to the moment, the more it slips through my fingers.

The whole message of the piece was that possessions are transient. You don't know if you are going to be able to have time with somebody, so you better be careful.

In this flowing stream, then, on which there is no abiding, what is there of the things which hurry by on which a man would set a high price? It would be just as if a man should fall in love with one of the sparrows which fly by, but it has already passed out of sight.

Most things don't stay the way they are very long.

Nothing in the world is permanent, and we’re foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we’re still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it.

Things pass us by. Nobody can catch them. That's the way we live our lives.

Everything is transient. Everything is constantly changing. The only thing we have is now.

Nothing lasts forever, and no one can predict what will happen to me in the near or distant future.

The things we now esteem fixed shall, one by one, detach themselves, like ripe fruit, from our experience, and fall. The wind shall blow them none knows whither.

Nothing lasts forever but the certainty of change

Where dwells the religion? Tell me first where dwells electricity, or motion, or thought or gesture. They do not dwell or stay atall. Electricity cannot be made fast, mortared up and ended, like London Monument, or the Tower, so that you shall know where to find it, and keep it fixed, as the English do with their things, forevermore; it is passing, glancing, gesticular; it is a traveller, a newness, a surprise, a secret which perplexes them, and puts them out.

Nothing is taken care of forever.

Feel lucky for what you have when you have it. Isn't that the point? Happily ever after doesn't mean happy forever.
