Famous quotes containing the word present:
“yet when all is said
It was the dream itself enchanted me:
Character isolated by a deed
To engross the present and dominate memory.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The consciousness of the falsity of present pleasures, and the ignorance of the vanity of absent pleasures, cause inconstancy.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“In sum, all actions and habits are to be esteemed good or evil by their causes and usefulness in reference to the commonwealth, and not by their mediocrity, nor by their being commended. For several men praise several customs, and, contrarily, what one calls vice, another calls virtue, as their present affections lead them.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
