Trust no future, however pleasant! Let the dead past bury its dead! Act -- act in the living Present! Heart within and God overhead.

Summary

This quote encourages us to focus on the present moment and not become too attached to an idealized future. It suggests that dwelling on the past or relying too heavily on future outcomes can hinder our ability to take productive action in the present. By trusting our intuition and remaining centered in the present, we are reminded to have faith in ourselves and the guidance of a higher power. We should acknowledge and respect the past while actively engaging in the opportunities and challenges of the present.
