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
Past Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Past

1.
The rewards in life go to those who are willing to give up the past

2.
It is one thing to learn about the past; it is another to wallow in it.
Auchincloss, Kenneth

3.
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

4.
The past, though it cannot be relived, can always be repaired.
La Farge, John

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

6.
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

7.
If you must cry over spilled milk then please try to condense it

8.
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

9.
Every journey into the past is complicated by delusions, false memories, false namings of real events.
Rich, Adrienne

10.
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).

11.
We live in a world where amnesia is the most wished-for state. When did history become a bad word?
Guare, John

12.
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

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

14.
To look back to antiquity is one thing, to go back to it is another.
Colton, Charles Caleb

15.
Things without remedy, should be without regard; what is done, is done.
Shakespeare, William

16.
Your past is important, but it is not nearly as important to your present as the way you see your future.
Campolo, Tony

17.
Nothing is as new as something which as been long forgotten.
Proverb, German

18.
Those who do remember it will find new ways to screw it up.
Wolfe, Charles

19.
While I take inspiration from the past, like most Americans, I live for the future.
Reagan, Ronald

20.
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

21.
The good of other times let people state; I think it lucky I was born so late.
Ovid

22.
Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future.
Waitley, Denis

23.
Clogged with yesterday's excess, the body drags the mind down with it.
Horace

24.
Man... cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he runs, that chain runs with him.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

25.
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

26.
Look to the past for guidance into the future.
Goodkin, Robert Jacob

27.
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

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

29.
Only by acceptance of the past, can you alter it.
Eliot, T. S.

30.
The free world must not prove itself worthy of its own past.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

31.
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

32.
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

33.
The past is all holy to us; the dead are all holy; even they that were wicked when alive.
Carlyle, Thomas

34.
To be able to look back upon one's past life with satisfaction is to live twice.
Martial, Marcus Valerius

35.
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

36.
May you look back on the past with as much pleasure as you look forward to the future.
Dickson, Paul

37.
The past grows gradually around one, like a placenta for dying.
Berger, John

38.
Nothing is improbable until it moves into past tense.
Ade, George

39.
Nostalgia is a seductive liar.
Ball, George W.

40.
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

41.
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

42.
The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
Einstein, Albert

43.
I cannot sing the old songs, Or dream those dreams again,
Barnard, Charlotte

44.
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

45.
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

46.
To design the future effectively, you must first let go of your past.
Givens, Charles J.

47.
The people who get into trouble in our company are those who carry around the anchor of the past.
Welch, John

48.
We have to do with the past only as we can make it useful to the present and the future.
Douglass, Frederick

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