About This Quote
I care not that this moment’s lot was thin and sparsely dealt all pleasures sweet can be forgot the instant they are felt. What we experience in life is often fleeting, so we should cherish it. Once we have experienced amazing joy or unspeakable pain, it is gone and we should move on to something else. The past is past and the future is yet to come. Focus on the present and enjoy it; there will be plenty more later.
