Years Ago Quotes

The skill sets it takes to be a successful entrepreneur, a successful marketer, or a relevant celebrity is a different skill set than you needed ten years ago, even though that was the skill set that mattered for decades Picture Quote #1

Politics is an obsolete way of doing things. Although it was good a hundred years ago, it has no place in today’s high tech society Picture Quote #1

Now small fowls flew screaming over the yet yawning gulf; a sullen white surf beat against its steep sides; then all collapsed; and the great shroud of the sea rolled on as it rolled five thousand years ago Picture Quote #1

And so my music, it doesn’t matter if I did it 20 years ago or if I did it tomorrow. It doesn’t go with trends. My trousers don’t get wider and tighter every six months. My music just stays what it is, and that’s the way I like it Picture Quote #1

I stopped eating beef at 13 and stopped eating all meat a few years ago. I would feel guilty that what was on my plate was walking around yesterday. Either I could live with that or stop eating meat. I choose the latter, and I’m happier for it Picture Quote #1

It is foolish to try to live on past experience. It is very dangerous, if not a fatal habit, to judge ourselves to be safe because of something that we felt or did twenty years ago Picture Quote #1

The world is progressing and resources are becoming more abundant. I’d rather go into a grocery store today than a king’s banquet a hundred years ago Picture Quote #1

A few years ago, everybody was saying we must have more leisure, everyone’s working too much. Now everybody’s got more leisure time they’re complaining they’re unemployed. People don’t seem to make up their minds what they want Picture Quote #1

The spirit of liberty is the spirit of him who, near two thousand years ago, taught mankind that lesson it has never learned Picture Quote #1

We’re sharing things in our lives everyday that we wouldn’t have picked up the phone to talk about ten years ago Picture Quote #1

It is equally pointless to weep because we won’t be alive a hundred years from now as that we were not here a hundred years ago Picture Quote #1

Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart; I breathe at this hour the fragrance of the lilacs, the violets, and the roses, as at twenty years ago Picture Quote #1

Only 50 years ago persons with intellectual disabilities were scorned, isolated and neglected. Today, they are able to attend school, become employed and assimilate into their local community Picture Quote #1

You don’t have the same reaction to a girl walking around the street today in a nightgown and a vintage coat and sneakers, that you did six years ago Picture Quote #1

The red sole was born from red nail polish. I am giving back to beauty what the shoes took from the nails many years ago Picture Quote #1

No, I think that if he had known he would be president, he would have started dying his hair, like, 10 years ago. Now it’s too late Picture Quote #1

So much of the knowledge in our minds is based on lies and superstitions that come from thousands of years ago. Humans create stories long before we are born, and we inherit those stories, we adopt them, and we live in those stories Picture Quote #1

We do not associate the idea of antiquity with the ocean, nor wonder how it looked a thousand years ago, as we do of the land, for it was equally wild and unfathomable always Picture Quote #1

Just because you’re old that doesn’t mean you’re more forgetful. The same people whose names I can’t remember now I couldn’t remember fifty years ago Picture Quote #1

We were told four years ago that 17 million people went to bed hungry every night. Well, that was probably true. They were all on a diet Picture Quote #1

One thing I do personally started 20 years ago. I started meditating, and I know twice a day I can kind of let everything drop. It’s just about being quiet, like drawing back the day, and it allows me to have energy Picture Quote #1

I kind of quit surfing when I got out of high school, but then a few years ago I started to take it up again. I’m not an expert by any means, but it’s so wonderful to get out in the ocean and get a different perspective on things Picture Quote #1

These people live again in print as intensely as when their images were captured on old dry plates of sixty years ago... I am walking in their alleys, standing in their rooms and sheds and workshops, looking in and out of their windows. Any they in turn seem to be aware of me Picture Quote #1

A photograph never grows old. You and I change, people change all through the months and years but a photograph always remains the same. How nice to look at a photograph of mother or father taken many years ago. You see them as you remember them. But as people live on, they change completely. That is why I think a photograph can be kind Picture Quote #1

My father was and is a great journalist. Thirty years ago, I was studying broadcasting in college, and the problem was I wasn’t nearly as good as my father. I wasn’t as quick or as smart as my old man, and I realized it would be a long time before I was ever going to be, and I decided to do something else Picture Quote #1

Wine lovers have known for centuries that decanting wine before serving it often improves its flavor. Whatever the dominant process, the traditional decanter is a rather pathetic tool to accomplish it. A few years ago, I found I could get much better results by using an ordinary kitchen blender Picture Quote #1

The very paradigm of revolution, of right versus wrong, good versus bad, is a relic with no bearing on the present. Yet artists, exhibitions, and curators valorize the sixties. People who wrote about these artists 30 years ago still write about them in the same ways, often for the same magazines Picture Quote #1

Maybe a hundred years ago our people should have run away from this place, I said... And then run from the next place and the next place and the place after that? You run once, what makes you think you won’t have to run all the rest of your life?... We love moment to moment... Everything changes. One minute we are part of the river, and the next we are joined with the sea Picture Quote #1

And how stands the city on this winter night? More prosperous, more secure, and happier than it was 8 years ago. But more than that: After 200 years, two centuries, she still stands strong and true on the granite ridge, and her glow has held steady no matter what storm. And she’s still a beacon, still a magnet for all who must have freedom, for all the pilgrims from all the lost places who are hurtling through the darkness, toward home Picture Quote #1

If I were entering adulthood now instead of in the environment of fifty years ago, I would choose a career that kept me in touch with nature more than science... Too few natural areas remain; both by intent and by indifference we have insulated ourselves from the wilderness that produced us Picture Quote #1
