Past

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
Past Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Past

1.
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

2.
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

3.
Nothing is as new as something which as been long forgotten.
Proverb, German

4.
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

5.
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

6.
The rewards in life go to those who are willing to give up the past

7.
May you look back on the past with as much pleasure as you look forward to the future.
Dickson, Paul

8.
The free world must not prove itself worthy of its own past.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

9.
Your past is important, but it is not nearly as important to your present as the way you see your future.
Campolo, Tony

10.
The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
Einstein, Albert

11.
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.

12.
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

13.
Every journey into the past is complicated by delusions, false memories, false namings of real events.
Rich, Adrienne

14.
Nothing is improbable until it moves into past tense.
Ade, George

15.
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

16.
What is past is prologue.
Shakespeare, William

17.
The destruction of the past is perhaps the greatest of all crimes.
Weil, Simone

18.
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

19.
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

20.
Look to the past for guidance into the future.
Goodkin, Robert Jacob

21.
The investor of today does not profit from yesterday's growth.
Buffett, Warren

22.
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

23.
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.

24.
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

25.
I never look back, I look forward.
Graf, Steffi

26.
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

27.
Yesterday is a canceled check: Forget it. Tomorrow is a promissory note: Don't count on it. Today is ready cash: Use it!
Bliss, Edwin C.

28.
The past grows gradually around one, like a placenta for dying.
Berger, John

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.
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

31.
Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future.
Waitley, Denis

32.
The past is prophetic in that it asserts loudly that wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.
King Jr. Martin Luther

33.
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

34.
Living in the past has one thing going for it; it's cheaper!
Saying

35.
If you look back too much, you will soon be headed that way

36.
There is nothing new, but what has become antiquated.
Proverb, French

37.
The next day is never so good as the day before.
Syrus, Publilius

38.
Things without remedy, should be without regard; what is done, is done.
Shakespeare, William

39.
Clogged with yesterday's excess, the body drags the mind down with it.
Horace

40.
Nostalgia is a seductive liar.
Ball, George W.

41.
If you must cry over spilled milk then please try to condense it

42.
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

43.
We have to do with the past only as we can make it useful to the present and the future.
Douglass, Frederick

44.
The past always looks better than it was because it isn't here.
Dunne, Finley Peter

45.
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

46.
It is not the literal past, the facts of history, that shape us, but images of the past embodied in language.
Friel, Brian

47.
Fearfulness, contrary to all other vices, maketh a man think the better of another, the worse of himself.
Sidney, Sir Philip

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

49.
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

50.
The past should be a springboard, not a hammock.
Ball, Ivern
