Text Quotes
Our view of history diminishes the reality of the past. We concentrate on the historic event as something that has happened, and in so doing we ignore it as a moment which, at the time, is happening  (Past Quotes) A truly global economy, as opposed to the multinational economy of the recent past, will require concessions of national power... that seemed impossible a few years ago and which even now we can but partly imagine  (Past Quotes) I was afraid I would see someone from my past who thought I was this big athlete, and then I end up being just normal  (Past Quotes) If a man lived long enough, his past would always overtake him, no matter how fast he ran or how morally he tried to live subsequently. And how men dealt with that law ultimately revealed their true natures  (Past Quotes) When a man who is drinking neat gin starts talking about his mother he is past all argument  (Past Quotes) Life is not a competition with others. In its truest sense it is a rivalry with ourselves. We should each day seek to break the record of our yesterday. We should seek each day to live stronger, better, truer lives; each day to master some weakness of yesterday; each day to repair past follies; each day to surpass... ourselves. And this is but progress  (Past Quotes) The old man began to sing. His voice was very lovely and obviously a part of something that the world had disposed of in its haste, evidence of a grander, kinder past  (Past Quotes) The pleasantest of all diversions is to sit alone under the lamp, a book spread out before you, and to make friends with people of a distant past you have never known  (Past Quotes) We do not ignore maturity. Maturity consists in not losing the past while fully living in the present with a prudent awareness of the possibilities of the future  (Past Quotes) The industry needs transforming. It’s for others to decide whether they want to get stuck in the past or whether they want to come on the journey  (Past Quotes) The aim of scientific thought, then, is to apply past experience to new circumstances; the instrument is an observed uniformity in the course of events. By the use of this instrument it gives us information transcending our experience, it enables us to infer things that we have not seen from things that we have seen; and the evidence for the truth of that information depends on our supposing that the uniformity holds good beyond our experience  (Past Quotes) In my view you can’t go to the future if you haven’t come from the past  (Past Quotes) Live both in the future and the past. Who does not live in the past does not live in the future  (Past Quotes) As exciting, difficult, and memorable as our past can be, there comes a time when we have to get on with living  (Past Quotes) As an astronaut, when you’re getting ready to go out of that hatch, you know that’s the pinnacle of both your career and your life. The view completely blows you away. The real challenge is getting past the excitement and getting focused and down to work  (Past Quotes) A wise nation preserves its records, gathers up its monuments, decorates the tombes of its illustrious dead, repairs its greatest structures and fosters national pride and love of country, by perpetual references to the sacrifices and glories of the past  (Past Quotes) We all spend so much time worrying about the future that the present moment slips right out of our hands. And so all we have left is retrospection and anticipation, retrospection and anticipation. In which case what’s left to recall but past anticipation? What’s left to anticipate but future retrospection?  (Past Quotes) You give up your future, lose your dreams, are stained with despair... Yet at the same time you shake off your past, fight reality, and never lose your nobility  (Past Quotes) When we are upset, it’s easy to blame others. However, the true cause of our feelings is within us. For example, imagine yourself as a glass of water. Now, imagine past negative experiences as sediment at the bottom of your glass. Next, think of others as spoons. When one stirs, the sediment clouds your water. It may appear that the spoon caused the water to cloud – but if there were no sediment, the water would remain clear no matter what. The key, then, is to identify our sediment and actively work to remove it  (Past Quotes) The language itself, whether you speak it or not, whether you love it or hate it, is like some bewitchment or seduction from the past, drifting across the country down the centuries, subtly affecting the nations sensibilities even when its meaning is forgotten  (Past Quotes) True disruption means threatening your existing product line and your past investments. Breakthrough products disrupt current lines of businesses  (Past Quotes) He is already past the high point in his life and coming down on the other side. By next week he’ll be nostalgia. He’s 12 years old, and it’s over for him  (Past Quotes) I became a vegetarian out of concern for animals, but I wasn’t a vegetarian long before I realized there’s something to that. I don’t think I would have worked for the past five years probably were it not for my vegetarian diet  (Past Quotes) That’s what courage is. Taking your disappointments and your failures, your guilt and your shame, all the wounds received and inflicted, and sinking them in the past. Starting again. Damning yesterday and facing tomorrow with your head held high. Times change. It’s those that see it coming, and plan for it, and change themselves to suit, that prosper  (Past Quotes) True penance consists in regretting without ceasing the faults of the past, and in firmly resolving to never again commit that which is so deplorable  (Past Quotes) Pride looks back upon its past deeds, and calculating with nicety what it has done, it commits itself to rest; whereas humility looks to that which is before, and discovering how much ground remains to be trodden, it is active and vigilant. Having gained one height, pride looks down with complacency on that which is beneath it; humility looks up to a higher and yet higher elevation. The one keeps us on this earth, which is congenial to its nature; the other directs our eye, and tends to lift us up to heaven  (Past Quotes) We are wistful about the golden days of the past and dream of a distant future unclouded by necessity. But I suspect that if our inner souls were asked what in life they really missed, the answer would be primal danger and stress  (Past Quotes) Examine the present and learn from the past to see how the future will unfold. Too often we just look at the present and base our actions solely on that  (Past Quotes) What is a memory? Not a storehouse, not a trunk in the attic, but an instrument that constantly refines the past into a narrative, accessible and acceptable to oneself  (Past Quotes) For the past weeks I’d been reacting. That was no way to win. To win, you take the initiative. You instigate the action. You make the opponent react to you  (Past Quotes)
