"Present, n. That part of eternity dividing the domain of disappointment from the realm of hope"
- Ambrose Bierce
About this Quote
This quote by Ambrose Bierce speaks to the idea of the present moment. It suggests that the present is a part of eternity, and that it is a dividing line between the past and the future. The past is the domain of disappointment, where we can look back on our mistakes and regrets. The future is the realm of hope, where we can look forward to better days and brighter possibilities. The present is the bridge between the two, and it is up to us to make the most of it. We can use the present to learn from our past and to plan for our future. We can use it to make positive changes and to create a better life for ourselves. The present is a precious gift, and it is up to us to make the most of it.
