Famous quotes containing the word present:

    “As to the permanent interest of individuals in the aggregated interests of the community, and in the proverbial maxim, that honesty is the best policy, present temptation is often found to be an overmatch for those considerations.”
    —James Madison (1751–1836)

    “If, at any time, it comes into my head, that a present is due from me to somebody, I am puzzled what to give, until the opportunity is gone.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “When each thing is unique in itself, there can be no comparison made.... There is only this strange recognition of present otherness.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
