Daily Zen - Tuesday, January 24

Let any man examine his thoughts, and he
will find them ever occupied with the past or the 
future. We scarcely think at all of the present;
or if we do, it is only to borrow the light which it
gives for regulating the future.  The present is 
never our object; the past and the present we use
as means; the future is our only end. Thus, 
we never live, we only hope to live.
~ Blaise Pascal

Daily Zen - Thursday, April 22


Let any man examine his thoughts, 
and he will find them ever occupied 
with the past or the future...The present is 
never our object; the past and the present we 
use as a means; the future only is our end. 
Thus, we never live we only hope to live.

Daily Zen - Monday, October 8




The power of a man's virtue should be measured not by his special efforts, but by his ordinary doing.
