WE ALMOST NEVER think of the present, and when we do, it is only to see what light it throws on our plans for the future.

About This Quote

When we think of the present, we tend to be disappointed. We become disheartened and discouraged. But, if we had a plan for the future, we would focus on the present. We would remember how far we have come and how far we have yet to go. Our plans for the future would be based on our achievements from the past, not our disappointments from the present.
