More From Dan Quisenberry

Man can only be certain about the present moment. but is that quite true either? can he really know the present? is he in a position to make any judgment about it? certainly not. for how can a person with no knowledge of the future understand the meaning of the present? if we do not know what future the present is leading us toward, how can we say whether this present is good or bad, whether it deserves our concurrence, or our suspicion, or our hatred?
Men Hatred Certain
A god who draws near out of love, the holy father continued, walks with his people, and this walk comes to an unimaginable point. we could never have imagined that the same lord would become one of us and walk with us, be present with us, present in his church, present in the eucharist, present in his word, present in the poor, he is present, walking with us. and this is closeness: the shepherd close to his flock, close to his sheep, whom he knows, one by one.
Love Father Sheep
Let each of us examine his thoughts; he will find them wholly concerned with the past or the future. we almost never think of the present, and if we do think of it, it is only to see what light is throws on our plans for the future. the present is never our end. the past and the present are our means, the future alone our end. thus we never actually live, but hope to live, and since we are always planning how to be happy, it is inevitable that we should never be so.
Mean Past Thinking
There is neither past nor future. there is only the present. yesterday was the present to you when you experienced it, and tomorrow will be also the present when you experience it. therefore, experience takes place only in the present, and beyond experience nothing exists.
Past Yesterday Tomorrow
It is not the present which unfluences the future, thou fool, but the future which forms the present. you have it all backward. since the future is set, an unfolding of events which will assure that future is fixed and inevitable.
Events Fool Form
In a world without future, each parting of friends is a death. in a world without future, each loneliness is final. in a world without future, each laugh is the last laugh. in a world without future, beyond the present lies nothingness, and people cling to the present as if hanging from a cliff.

Similar Quotes
True and false are attributes of speech not of things. and where speech is not, there is neither truth nor falsehood. error theremay be, as when we expect that which shall not be; or suspect what has not been: but in neither case can a man be charged with untruth.
Truth Lying Men
The simple act of an ordinary courageous man is not to take part, not to support lies! let that come into the world and even reign over it, but not through me. writers and artists can do more: they can vanquish lies! ... lies can stand up against much in the world, but not against art.
Art Lying Simple
Still stands the forest primeval; but far away from its shadow, side by side, in their nameless graves, the lovers are sleeping.under the humble walls of the little catholic churchyard,in the heart of the city, they lie, unknown and unnoticed;daily the tides of life go ebbing and flowing beside them,thousands of throbbing hearts, where theirs are at rest and forever,thousands of aching brains, where theirs no longer are busy,thousands of toiling hands, where theirs have ceased from their labors,thousands of weary feet, where theirs have completed their journey!
Wall Lying Heart
Waking at night the blue river is grey at morning and evening. there is twilight at dawn and dusk. i lie in the dark wondering if this quiet in me now is a beginning or an end.
