It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
Don’t make excuses, don’t blame the past. The rest of your life can be the best of your life!
Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.
We celebrate the past to awaken the future.
Don’t ever think that the sin of your past means there is no hope for your future.
All moments, past, present and future, always have existed, always will exist.
I am nostalgic of an era I never knew.
No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. The pulpit can be a shop window to display one’s talents; the prayer closet allows no showing off.
Childhood memories are sometimes covered and obscured beneath the things that come later, like childhood toys forgotten at the bottom of a crammed adult closet, but they are never lost for good.
Some people live as though they are already dead. There are people moving around us who are consumed by their past, terrified of their future, and stuck in their anger and jealousy. They are not alive; they are just walking corpses.
Don’t think about the past. Just be here now.
Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future.
There is no saint without a past, no sinner without a future.
The only person with whom you have to compare ourselves, is that you in the past. And the only person better you should be, this is who you are now.
The past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities.
The increase of disorder or entropy is what distinguishes the past from the future, giving a direction to time.
You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.
For last year’s words belong to last year’s language And next year’s words await another voice.
Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.
The past is behind, learn from it. The future is ahead, prepare for it. The present is here, live it.
