Glück / Happiness Nur / Only Vergangenheit / Past Vergleich / Comparison Vorhanden / Present Zerschlagen / Shattered
What would there be in a story of happiness? Only what prepares it, only what destroys it can be told.
What happened in the past is just that, the past. Champion or not.
Happiness held is the seed; Happiness shared is the flower.
Happiness is rarely absent; it is we that know not of its presence.
We have to do with the past only as we can make it useful to the present and the future.
The diseases of the present have little in common with the diseases of the past save that we die of them.
To sit for one's portrait is like being present at one's own creation.
War is only a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.
There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past.
