Past Future Quotes (page 7)

Even if we no longer have much in common, we would have always had the past, which, in some ways, is just as important as the present or future. It is where we come from, what makes us who we are. Emily Giffin
Paulo Coelho quote: "Because I don't live in either my past or my future. I'm..."
Because I don't live in either my past or my future. I'm interested only in the present". Paulo Coelho
The absence of romance in my history will, I fear, detract somewhat from its interest, but if it is judged worthy by those inquirers who desire an exact knowledge of the past as an aid to the understanding of the future, which in the course of human things must resemble if it does not reflect it, I shall be content. In fine I have written my work not as an essay with which to win the applause of the moment but as a possession for all time. Thucydides
Orson Scott Card quote: "The future is a hundred thousand threads, but the past is a..."
The future is a hundred thousand threads, but the past is a fabric that can never be rewoven. Orson Scott Card
Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion. Albert Einstein
There seemed to be nothing left in the world, for I felt that Roland had taken with him all my future and Edward all my past. Vera Brittain
This isn’t a matter for the eyes, it is a matter for the heart. Many signs point to a growing historical consciousness among the American people. I trust this is so. It is useful to remember that history is to the nation as memory is to the individual. As persons deprived of memory, they become disoriented and lost, not knowing where they have been and where they are going. So a nation denied a conception of the past will be disabled in dealing with its present and its future. When I’m... Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
There was not a moving up into vacated places; there was simply an anachronistic staying on between a vanishing past and an incalculable future. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Frank Herbert quote: "It is difficult to live in the present, pointless to live in..."
It is difficult to live in the present, pointless to live in the future and impossible to live in the past. Frank Herbert
Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all your friends feel there is something special in them. Look at the sunny side of everything. Think only the best, be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to... Norman Vincent Peale
The heart may freeze, or it can burn. The pain will ease and I can learn. There is no future, there is no past. I live this moment as, my last. Jonathan Larson
Sylvia Day quote: "I require distance from the past in order to grasp the future."
I require distance from the past in order to grasp the future. Sylvia Day
For repose is not the end of education; its end is a noble unrest, an ever renewed awaking from the dead, a ceaseless questioning of the past for the interpretation of the future, an urging on of the motions of life, which had better far be accelerated into fever, than retarded into lethargy. George MacDonald
Benjamin Franklin quote: "I am captivated more by dreams of the future then history of..."
I am captivated more by dreams of the future then history of the past. Benjamin Franklin
At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless; Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is, But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity, Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards, Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point, There would be no dance, and there is only the dance. T. S. Eliot
