Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.
Oscar Wilde
One's past is what one is. It is the only way by which people should be judged.
Oscar Wilde
No man is rich enough to buy back his past.
Oscar Wilde
Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.
John F. Kennedy
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.
John F. Kennedy
For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.
John F. Kennedy
A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or regard that quality in its chosen leaders today - and in fact we have forgotten.
John F. Kennedy
History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.
John F. Kennedy
To state the facts frankly is not to despair the future nor indict the past. The prudent heir takes careful inventory of his legacies and gives a faithful accounting to those whom he owes an obligation of trust.
John F. Kennedy
We should not look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose of profiting by dearly bought experience.
George Washington
Study the past, if you would divine the future.
Confucius
Freedom from effort in the present merely means that there has been effort stored up in the past.
Theodore Roosevelt
The future influences the present just as much as the past.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whenever I think of the past, it brings back so many memories.
Steven Wright
Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable.
George S. Patton
I don't have nothing to regret at all in the past, except that I might've unintentionally hurt somebody else or something.
Jimi Hendrix
The past is a ghost, the future a dream, and all we ever have is now.
Bill Cosby
As I have discovered by examining my past, I started out as a child. Coincidentally, so did my brother. My mother did not put all her eggs in one basket, so to speak: she gave me a younger brother named Russell, who taught me what was meant by "survival of the fittest."
Bill Cosby
Once I knew only darkness and stillness... my life was without past or future... but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living.
Helen Keller
With the past, I have nothing to do; nor with the future. I live now.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
