Famous quotes containing the word present:
“What is love? ‘Tis not hereafter,
Present mirth hath present laughter.
What’s to come is still unsure.
In delay there lies no plenty,
Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty.
Youth’s a stuff will not endure.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The consciousness of the falsity of present pleasures, and the ignorance of the vanity of absent pleasures, cause inconstancy.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“America’s present need is not heroics but healing; not nostrums but normalcy; not revolution but restoration.”
