More From Mahatma Gandhi

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
How many slams in an old screen door? depends how loud you shut it. how many slices in a bread? depends how thin you cut it. how much good inside a day? depends how good you live 'em. how much love inside a friend? depends how much you give 'em.
Love Friendship Inspiring
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
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.
Lying Loneliness Future
