Quote by Leonardo da Vinci

In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes so with present time.

In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has

Summary

This quote emphasizes the ever-changing nature of time and experiences. It uses the metaphor of a river to illustrate that the water we touch represents the latest moment that has just passed, while simultaneously being the first drop of the future. It implies that time is constantly flowing and what we experience in the present is merely a fleeting moment that is immediately replaced by the next. This highlights the importance of appreciating and fully embracing the present moment, as it is a blend of the past and the future.

A human being is primarily a bag for putting food into; the other functions and faculties may be more godlike, but in point of time they come afterwards. A man dies and is buried, and all his words and actions are forgotten, but the food he has eaten lives after him in the sound or rotten bones of his children. I think it could be plausibly argued that changes of diet are more important than changes of dynasty or even of religion....Yet it is curious how seldom the all-importance of food is recognized. You see statues everywhere to politicians, poets, bishops, but none to cooks or bacon-curers or market gardeners.

The golden child may be the oldest one, unless it's the youngest. It may be the toughest one, unless it's the most sensitive. It's not even necessary that Mom and Dad have the same favorite - and typically they don't.

Whether your faith is that there is a God or that there is not a God, if you don't have any doubts you are either kidding yourself or asleep. Doubts are the ants in the pants of faith. They keep it awake and moving.
