The Past Quotes

To have common glories in the past, a common will in the present; to have done great things together; to wish to do greater; these are the essential conditions which make up a people Picture Quote #1

Humans are the only creatures with the ability to dive deep in the sea, fly high in the sky, send instant messages around the globe, reflect on the past, assess the present and imagine the future Picture Quote #1

I used to be really cute. I could send you earlier photos where I’m stunning. But I’ve gained about twenty pounds over the past two years, and the more weight I’ve put on, the more success I’ve had. If you drew a diagram of weight gain and me getting more work, a mathematician would draw some conclusions from that Picture Quote #1

We need a government, not politics. Because there’s too much politics. Of course there should be debate. But there seems to be so much pettiness and not enough good faith. It is civilized to agree to disagree, and this idea is slowly disintegrating. The great statesmen of the past knew this, and I think it helps drive civilization Picture Quote #1

I don’t harp on what I could change about the past, because I can’t go back and change it. But definitely a lot of things I would change Picture Quote #1

J has told me about his past. I know what happened and why. But he is the one person who made me believe in my talent and whatever happened in the past, he’s been a wonderful manager to me Picture Quote #1

My idea in terms of managing a narrative, or in thinking in my creative life, is that you could easily argue that the past, the present and the future all occur simultaneously, and if you can postulate that, then you’re not strictly bound to a linear narrative Picture Quote #1

With 1.7 million private sector jobs lost and half a million jobs shipped overseas over the past three years, we must take action to spur job creation and restore economic prosperity Picture Quote #1

History is always changing behind us, and the past changes a little every time we retell it Picture Quote #1

Today, there’s an expectation that you get to know public people. In the past, it was much more what you did and how you presented yourself Picture Quote #1

When I’m at the greatest odds with my body, it’s usually because I feel my body’s betraying me, whether that’s been in the past, struggling with my weight and feeling that I couldn’t eat what I wanted to eat, or that I couldn’t get my body to do what I wanted it to do Picture Quote #1

I really don’t spend time thinking about the past. I think about the future. I’m not stopping Picture Quote #1

Everyone sort of sees his own life and times as being ephemeral. One thinks that everything good or important that happened, happened in the past. But I think that seeing scenes that you are used to, but with the heightening effects of poetry, perhaps makes you value your life and times more than you might otherwise do Picture Quote #1

It may be enough to study history in all its nuance and ambiguity for its own sake. But there is no country free of the need to find new ways of reading the past as an inspiring way of thinking about everything else, including the present Picture Quote #1

All we have to face in the future is what has happened in the past. It is unbearable Picture Quote #1

In reference to Persepolis and all palaces, cities and temples of the past: could these wonders have come into being without that suffering? without the overseer’s whip, the slave’s fear, the ruler’s vanity? was not the monumentality of past epochs created by that which is negative and evil in man? Picture Quote #1

The greatest Americans have not been born yet they are waiting patiently for the past to die Picture Quote #1

…everything has a past. Everything – a person, an object, a word, everything. If you don’t know the past, you can’t understand the present and plan properly for the future Picture Quote #1

The past is to be respected and acknowledged, but not worshipped; it is our future in which we will find our greatness Picture Quote #1

To have compassion for those who suffer is a human quality which everyone should possess, especially those who have required comfort themselves in the past and have managed to find it in others Picture Quote #1

If the past has nothing to say to the present, history may go on sleeping undisturbed in the closet where the system keeps its old disguises Picture Quote #1

The future cannot blame the present, just as the present cannot blame the past. The hope is always here, always alive, but only your fierce caring can fan it into a fire to warm the world Picture Quote #1

Memory is a snare, pure and simple; it alters, it subtly rearranges the past to fit the present Picture Quote #1

I can’t go back. The past won’t go away in this family Picture Quote #1

The tragedy of this world is that everyone is alone. For a life in the past cannot be shared with the present Picture Quote #1

Memory is a wonderful thing if you don’t have to deal with the past Picture Quote #1

An imagination is a powerful tool. It can tint memories of the past, shade perceptions of the present, or paint a future so vivid that it can entice... or terrify, all depending upon how we conduct ourselves today Picture Quote #1

History dies without the present. There is no future without the path made to it by the past Picture Quote #1

She remembered him smiling, and realized that time, that great old healer, had finally accomplished its work, and now, across the years, the face of love no longer stirred up agonies of grief and bitterness. Rather, one was left feeling simply grateful. For how unimaginably empty the past would be without him to remember Picture Quote #1

Accountants are in the past, managers are in the present, and leaders are in the future Picture Quote #1
