A Quote

Dear all, my all time heroe was a certain George Harrison, here is one of his many wise quotes, with my attempt at translation following: please feel free to correct me,.many thanks.

Queridos amigos, mi idolo favorito era George Harrison, la siguiente es una de sus citas sensibles, con mi tentativa a traducir, por favor corrijanme, muchas gracias.

“It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one.”

"es estar aqui que es lo mas importante, noy hay pasado y no hay futuro.El tiempo es una cosa muy engañoso, todo que hay es el presente, podemos coseguir la experiencia de la pasada, pero no podemos revivirla, y ademas podemos esperar para el futuro pero no sabemos si hay uno."

At this stage of my learning i would be happy if a native speaker could understand roughly what i was trying to say.
