Famous quotes containing the word present:

    “Time present and time past
    Are both perhaps present in time future,
    And time future contained in time past.
    If all time is eternally present
    All time is unredeemable.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “Uncomprehending when they have heard, they are like the deaf. The saying describes them: though present they are absent.”
    —Heraclitus (c. 535–475 B.C.)

    “It must be confessed that horses at present work too exclusively for men, rarely men for horses; and the brute degenerates in man’s society.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
