Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Buddha
There are certain moments when we might wish the future were built by men of the past.
Rostand, Jean
It is possible to believe that all the past is but the beginning of a beginning, and that all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn. It is possible to believe that all the human mind has ever accomplished is but the dream before the awakening.
Wells, H.G.
When a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.
Johnson, Samuel
Every man's life lies within the present; for the past is spent and done with, and the future is uncertain.
Marcus Aurelius
The powers of the mind should be concentrated and the mind turned back upon itself; as the darkest places reveal their secrets before the penetrating rays of the sun, so will the concentrated mind penetrate its own innermost secrets.
Vivekananda, Swami
The powers of the mind are like the rays of the sun when they are concentrated they illumine.
Vivekananda, Swami
When the mind is silent, beyond weakness or non concentration, then it can enter into a world which is far beyond the mind the highest End.
Maitri Upanishads
The peculiar character of the problem of a rational economic order is determined precisely by the fact that the knowledge of the circumstances of which we must make use never exists in concentrated or integrated form but solely as the dispersed bits of incomplete and frequently contradictory knowledge which all the separate individuals possess. The economic problem of society is thus not merely a problem of how to allocate "given" resources--if "given" is taken to mean given to a single mind which deliberately solves the problem set by these "data." It is rather a problem of how to secure the best use of resources known to any of the members of society, for ends whose relative importance only these individuals know. Or, to put it briefly, it is a problem of the utilization of knowledge which is not given to anyone in its totality.
Hayek, Friedrich August Von
The moments of the past do not remain still; they retain in our memory the motion which drew them towards the future, towards a future which has itself become the past, and draw us on in their train.
Proust, Marcel
