Famous quotes containing the word present:
“One touch of nature makes the whole world kin,
That all, with one consent, praise new-born gauds.
And give to dust that is a little gilt
More laud than gilt o’er dusted;
The present eye praises the present object.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“He to whom the present is the only thing that is present, knows nothing of the age in which he lives.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Thus hulling in
The wild sea of my conscience, I did steer
Toward this remedy, whereupon we are
Now present here together.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
