"Because your life is not a series of unconnected periods, but a single, continuous stream, it is only in the present that you truly live."

"Thou wilt cease to live, not with a worse life, but with a life that is no life."

"That which does not make a man worse, does not make his life worse."

"Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present."

"That which is not good for the beehive cannot be good for the bees."
