Words: they can't be changed, rewound, or taken back, they make their mark signing into the guestbook of history
Your Past? All needed for your highest good stood before you for your joy and use and all else was an illusion.
We are vulnerable to fear only when we leave the present. If I drift into the past, my regrets surge up, my memories of failing and forsaking. If I shift into the future, I meet with doubt and delusion, fear of what's to come, what I'm not capable of controlling. It's in the present moment that I belong.
These days people seek knowledge, not wisdom. Knowledge is of the past, wisdom is of the future.
''The seeds of the future,lie buried in the past.''
The future belongs to those who survive their past
We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.
If you are feeling bad about something that you have done in your past, remember this, "You can't be who you are today, without being who you were in the past."
We should try to be the parents of our future rather than the offspring of our past.
Memories and Apples: Someone gave a poor man a barrel of apples. Wanting to not waste, the man ate the apples with rotten spots first. After a month of eating apples with rotten spots, he threw away three apples with rotten spots -- from that day on, he always had plenty of fresh apples to eat. Our memories are that way, also.
"There are no futures. There are only streams of endless possibilities that collapse into one present as we rush head long into them. But even the present is an illusion, slipping from our grasp as we reach for it, becoming the past. It is only the past that truly exists. The past that scars our minds with memory. With reverberations that dictate our lives. With traces that haunt our eyes till death."
We hope for the future, then we reach for the past.
stop living in the past whats done is done if you want to change it you won't be able to unless you have a time machine so take pride in it don't regret it ask to be fogiven
Don't let the mistakes and disappointments of the past control and direct your future.
A product of your life and liberty is your property. Property is the fruit of your labor, the product of your time, energy, and talents. It is that part of nature that you turn to valuable use. And it is the property of others that is given to you by voluntary exchange and mutual consent. Two people who exchange property voluntarily are both better off or they wouldn't do it. Only they may rightfully make that decision for themselves.
You exist in time: future, present, and past. This is manifest in life, liberty, and the product of your life and liberty. The exercise of choices over life and liberty is your prosperity. To lose your life is to lose your future. To lose your liberty is to lose your present. And to lose the product of your life and liberty is to lose the portion of your past that produced it.
What we already know is in the past. What we have yet to discover is the future. Always make your questions bigger than your answers, and you'll keep drawing yourself into a bigger future with new possibilities."
"Upper classes are a nation’s past; the middle class is its future."
"The present's just a pleasant interruption to the past."
"The present's just a pleasant interruption to the past."
Live in the present, forget the past.
Give up hopes of future.
"Taking one foot and putting it in front of the other, that is the only way to travel forward...If however you take steps forward whilst looking backward; well -then you will fall over because you end up tripping over something you would easily have seen if looking where you were going in the first place. So, when looking back just stay still for a moment, allow yourself to reflect, but then you must at some point turn around and just keep moving - or you will stagnant on the spot which means going nowhere at all." Jacquelene Close Moore
Forgiveness means giving up all hope of a better past.
-Landrum Bolling
A pleasure is only full grown when it is remembered.
As we get older, the future gets shorter and the past gets longer, but the present deepens.
I didn’t look back. I couldn’t. Such is life, imaginary or otherwise: a continuous parting of ways, a constant flux of approximation and distanciation, lines of fate intersecting at a point which is no-time, a theoretical crossroads fictitiously “present,” an unstable ice floe forever drifting between was and will be. The Adventure called and I followed with my thumb like a character being written by an intractable author. Which, of course, I was.
We only grow by outgrowing
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
If a glimpse of the future is possible, it must come from an intimacy with the present clarified by the great works of the past.
