Past Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Past

1.
Nothing is improbable until it moves into past tense.
Ade, George

2.
What you've done becomes the judge of what you're going to do especially in other people's minds. When you're traveling, you are what you are. People don't have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays on the road.
Moon, William Least Heat

3.
Look back, and smile at perils past.
Scott, Sir Walter

4.
If you are carrying strong feelings about something that happened in your past, they may hinder your ability to live in the present.
Brown, Les

5.
Because men really respect only that which was founded of old and has developed slowly, he who wants to live on after his death must take care not only of his posterity but even more of his past.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

6.
The past is all holy to us; the dead are all holy; even they that were wicked when alive.
Carlyle, Thomas

7.
The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
Einstein, Albert

8.
I cannot sing the old songs, Or dream those dreams again,
Barnard, Charlotte

9.
The past, though it cannot be relived, can always be repaired.
La Farge, John

10.
The moments of the past do not remain still; they retain in our memory the motion which drew them towards the future, towards a future which has itself become the past, and draw us on in their train.
Proust, Marcel

11.
It is not the literal past, the facts of history, that shape us, but images of the past embodied in language.
Friel, Brian

12.
It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.
Steiner, George

13.
Always look at what you have left. Never look at what you have lost.
Schuller, Robert H.

14.
A lot of people go through life like they are rowing a boat. They look at where they have been (the PAST) rather than where they are going (the FUTURE).

15.
Fearfulness, contrary to all other vices, maketh a man think the better of another, the worse of himself.
Sidney, Sir Philip

16.
If the past cannot teach the present and the father cannot teach the son, then history need not have bothered to go on, and the world has wasted a great deal of time.
Hoban, Russell

17.
That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.
Wordsworth, William

18.
The next day is never so good as the day before.
Syrus, Publilius

19.
If you must cry over spilled milk then please try to condense it

20.
It's linkage I'm talking about, and harmonies and structures, And all the various things that lock our wrists to the past.
Wright, Charles

21.
Look to the past for guidance into the future.
Goodkin, Robert Jacob

22.
It's very expressive of myself. I just lump everything in a great heap which I have labeled the past, and, having thus emptied this deep reservoir that was once myself, I am ready to continue.

23.
There is nothing new, but what has become antiquated.
Proverb, French

24.
In the maxim of the past you cannot go anywhere.
Gorky, Maxim

25.
We live in a world where amnesia is the most wished-for state. When did history become a bad word?
Guare, John

26.
The past is only the present become invisible and mute; and because it is invisible and mute, its memorized glances and its murmurs are infinitely precious. We are tomorrow's past.
Webb, Mary

27.
The past should be a springboard, not a hammock.
Ball, Ivern

28.
The past does not equal the future.
Robbins, Anthony

29.
We are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the mind's door at 4am of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends. We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget.
Didion, Joan

30.
Posterity will pay everyone their due.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

31.
The past always looks better than it was because it isn't here.
Dunne, Finley Peter

32.
The people who get into trouble in our company are those who carry around the anchor of the past.
Welch, John

33.
The past grows gradually around one, like a placenta for dying.
Berger, John

34.
Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future.
Waitley, Denis

35.
One must always maintain one's connection to the past and yet ceaselessly pull away from it. To remain in touch with the past requires a love of memory. To remain in touch with the past requires a constant imaginative effort.
Bachelard, Gaston

36.
Man... cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he runs, that chain runs with him.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

37.
The Past -- the dark unfathomed retrospect! The teeming gulf --the sleepers and the shadows! The past! the infinite greatness of the past! For what is the present after all but a growth out of the past?
Whitman, Walt

38.
The true picture of the past flits by. The past can be seized only as an image which flashes up at the instant when it can be recognized and is never seen again.
Benjamin, Walter

39.
The free world must not prove itself worthy of its own past.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

40.
The destruction of the past is perhaps the greatest of all crimes.
Weil, Simone

41.
Who so desireth to know what will be hereafter, let him think of what is past, for the world hath ever been in a circular revolution; whatsoever is now, was heretofore; and things past or present, are no other than such as shall be again: Redit orbis in orbem.
Raleigh, Sir Walter

42.
While I take inspiration from the past, like most Americans, I live for the future.
Reagan, Ronald

43.
Nostalgia is a seductive liar.
Ball, George W.

44.
You must never regret what might have been. The past that did not happen is as hidden from us as the future we cannot see.
Stern, Richard Martin

45.
As lousy as things are now, tomorrow they will be somebody's good old days.
Barzan, Gerald

46.
Many are always praising the by-gone time, for it is natural that the old should extol the days of their youth; the weak, the time of their strength; the sick, the season of their vigor; and the disappointed, the spring-tide of their hopes.
Bingham, Caleb

47.
Every man is his own ancestor, and every man his own heir. He devises his own fortune, and he inherits his own past.
Hedge, Francis Herbert

48.
May you look back on the past with as much pleasure as you look forward to the future.
Dickson, Paul

49.
They spend their time looking forward to the past.
Osborne, John

50.
Mr. Meant-to has a friend, his name is Didn't-Do. Have you met them? They live together in a house called Never-Win. And I am told that it is haunted by the Ghost of Might-have-Been.
Collins, Marva
