The present is sordid and prosaic. Time colors history as it does a meerschaum pipe  (The Present Quotes) The present is the past rolled up for action, and the past is the present unrolled for understanding  (The Present Quotes) The tantalizing and compelling pursuit of mathematical problems offers mental absorption, peace of mind amid endless challenges, repose in activity, battle without conflict, refuge from the goading urgency of contingent happenings, and the sort of beauty changeless mountains present to senses tried by the present day kaleidoscope of events  (The Present Quotes) The general statement that the mental faculties are class concepts, belonging to descriptive psychology, relieves us of the necessity of discussing them and their significance at the present stage of our inquiry  (The Present Quotes) Recording at home enables one to eliminate the demo stage, and the presentation stage in the studio, too  (The Present Quotes) It is in scientific honesty that I endorse the presentation of alternative theories for the origin of the universe, life and man in the science classroom. It would be an error to overlook the possibility that the universe was planned rather than happening by chance  (The Present Quotes) The present age... prefers the sign to the thing signified, the copy to the original, fancy to reality, the appearance to the essence... for in these days illusion only is sacred, truth profane  (The Present Quotes) Society expresses its sympathy for the geniuses of the past to distract attention from the fact that it has no intention of being sympathetic to the geniuses of the present  (The Present Quotes) When, in the present world, men behave well, that is no doubt sometimes because they are creatures of habit as well as, sometimes, because they are reasonable  (The Present Quotes) The present age is demented.
