Past

I cannot sing the old songs, Or dream those dreams again,

Past Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Past

1.
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

2.
They spend their time looking forward to the past.
Osborne, John

3.
Your past is important, but it is not nearly as important to your present as the way you see your future.
Campolo, Tony

4.
The beauty of the past is that it is the past. The beauty of the now is to know it. The beauty of the future is to see where one is going.

5.
Posterity will pay everyone their due.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

6.
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

7.
It is not the literal past, the facts of history, that shape us, but images of the past embodied in language.
Friel, Brian

8.
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

9.
The next day is never so good as the day before.
Syrus, Publilius

10.
Man... cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he runs, that chain runs with him.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

11.
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

12.
Nothing is as new as something which as been long forgotten.
Proverb, German

13.
If you must cry over spilled milk then please try to condense it

14.
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

15.
The past is prophetic in that it asserts loudly that wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.
King Jr. Martin Luther

16.
In the maxim of the past you cannot go anywhere.
Gorky, Maxim

17.
Only by acceptance of the past, can you alter it.
Eliot, T. S.

18.
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

19.
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.

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.
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

22.
Living in the past has one thing going for it; it's cheaper!
Saying

23.
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

24.
Clogged with yesterday's excess, the body drags the mind down with it.
Horace

25.
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

26.
Every journey into the past is complicated by delusions, false memories, false namings of real events.
Rich, Adrienne

27.
What is past is prologue.
Shakespeare, William

28.
The past, though it cannot be relived, can always be repaired.
La Farge, John

29.
Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future.
Waitley, Denis

30.
The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
Einstein, Albert

31.
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

32.
We live in a world where amnesia is the most wished-for state. When did history become a bad word?
Guare, John

33.
Those who do remember it will find new ways to screw it up.
Wolfe, Charles

34.
Nostalgia is a seductive liar.
Ball, George W.

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

36.
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

37.
The past always looks better than it was because it isn't here.
Dunne, Finley Peter

38.
The past grows gradually around one, like a placenta for dying.
Berger, John

39.
There is nothing new, but what has become antiquated.
Proverb, French

40.
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

41.
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

42.
The destruction of the past is perhaps the greatest of all crimes.
Weil, Simone

43.
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

44.
The free world must not prove itself worthy of its own past.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

45.
The past does not equal the future.
Robbins, Anthony

46.
Always look at what you have left. Never look at what you have lost.
Schuller, Robert H.

47.
Look back, and smile at perils past.
Scott, Sir Walter

48.
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

49.
The rewards in life go to those who are willing to give up the past

50.
To design the future effectively, you must first let go of your past.
Givens, Charles J.
