Past

The past itself, as historical change continues to accelerate, has become the most surreal of subjects --making it possible... to see a new beauty in what is vanishing.
- Sontag, Susan
Past Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Past

1.
Only by acceptance of the past, can you alter it.
Eliot, T. S.

2.
I tell you the past is a bucket of ashes, so live not in your yesterdays, no just for tomorrow, but in the here and now. Keep moving and forget the post mortems; and remember, no one can get the jump on the future.
Sandburg, Carl

3.
To design the future effectively, you must first let go of your past.
Givens, Charles J.

4.
There is no past that we can bring back by longing for it. There is only an eternally new now that builds and creates itself out of the Best as the past withdraws.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

5.
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

6.
We do NOT know the past in chronological sequence. It may be convenient to lay it out anesthetized on the table with dates pasted on here and there, but what we know we know by ripples and spirals eddying out from us and from our own time.
Pound, Ezra

7.
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

8.
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

9.
As lousy as things are now, tomorrow they will be somebody's good old days.
Barzan, Gerald

10.
To look back to antiquity is one thing, to go back to it is another.
Colton, Charles Caleb

11.
The investor of today does not profit from yesterday's growth.
Buffett, Warren

12.
It is one thing to learn about the past; it is another to wallow in it.
Auchincloss, Kenneth

13.
Look to the past for guidance into the future.
Goodkin, Robert Jacob

14.
Nostalgia is a seductive liar.
Ball, George W.

15.
The past does not equal the future.
Robbins, Anthony

16.
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.

17.
I love my past, I love my present. I am not ashamed of what I have had, and I am not sad because I no longer have it.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle

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

19.
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).

20.
The good of other times let people state; I think it lucky I was born so late.
Ovid

21.
The past is all holy to us; the dead are all holy; even they that were wicked when alive.
Carlyle, Thomas

22.
The past should be a springboard, not a hammock.
Ball, Ivern

23.
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

24.
The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
Einstein, Albert

25.
Man... cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he runs, that chain runs with him.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

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 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

28.
If you look back too much, you will soon be headed that way

29.
What is past is prologue.
Shakespeare, William

30.
The historian looks backward. In the end he also believes backward.
Fredrich

31.
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

32.
I never look back, I look forward.
Graf, Steffi

33.
It is sadder to find the past again and find it inadequate to the present than it is to have it elude you and remain forever a harmonious conception of memory.

34.
The rewards in life go to those who are willing to give up the past

35.
If you're still hanging onto a dead dream of yesterday, laying flowers on its grave by the hour, you cannot be planting the seeds for a new dream to grow today.
Chapman, Joyce

36.
It is not the literal past, the facts of history, that shape us, but images of the past embodied in language.
Friel, Brian

37.
Look back, and smile at perils past.
Scott, Sir Walter

38.
May you look back on the past with as much pleasure as you look forward to the future.
Dickson, Paul

39.
Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future.
Waitley, Denis

40.
Clogged with yesterday's excess, the body drags the mind down with it.
Horace

41.
If the only new thing we have to offer is an improved version of the past, then today can only be inferior to yesterday. Hypnotized by images of the past, we risk losing all capacity for creative change.
Hewison, Robert

42.
There is a way to look at the past. Don't hide from it. It will not catch you -- if you don't repeat it.
Bailey, Pearl

43.
Things without remedy, should be without regard; what is done, is done.
Shakespeare, William

44.
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

45.
Always look at what you have left. Never look at what you have lost.
Schuller, Robert H.

46.
Don't brood on the past, but don't forget it either.
Raddal, Thomas H.

47.
The past, though it cannot be relived, can always be repaired.
La Farge, John

48.
Posterity will pay everyone their due.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

49.
In the maxim of the past you cannot go anywhere.
Gorky, Maxim

50.
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
