"But man postpones or remembers; he does not……" — Ralph Waldo Emerson

"But man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time."

Ralph Waldo Emerson
