“If you take good care of the present, there is no need to worry about the future. By taking care of the present you are doing everything you can to assure a good future.”

“If you’re lost in the past, or if you’re carried away by the future, you’re not really living your life. Only by deeply touching the present moment can you touch true life and be truly alive.”
― Hanh, WORK: How To Find Joy And Meaning In Each Hour Of The Day

“My true home is not in the past, not in the future. My true home is life itself—it is in the here and now.”

“Now is the time for Jews, Christians and Muslims to say what they failed to say in the past: We are all children of Abraham. And whether we are Isaac or Ishmael, Jacob or Esau, Leah or Rachel, Joseph or his brothers, we are precious in the sight of God. We are blessed. And to be blessed, no one has to be cursed. God’s love does not work that way. Today God is calling us, Jew, Christian and Muslim, to let go of hate and the preaching of hate, and live at last as brothers and sisters, true to our faith and a blessing to others regardless of their faith, honouring God’s name by honouring his image, humankind.”
