We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.
One must always maintain one’s connection to the past and yet ceaselessly pull away from it.
You can’t change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying about the future.
Right actions in the future are the best apologies for bad actions in the past.
Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.
Every past is worth condemning.
If we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future.

The past is our definition. We may strive, with good reason, to escape it, or to escape what is bad in it, but we will escape it only by adding something better to it.
Always choose the future over the past. What do we do now ?
I don’t think of the past. The only thing that matters is the everlasting present.
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.
