"past"タグの名言

I met a boy whose eyes showed me that the past, present and future were all the same thing.

You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.

We leave something of ourselves behind when we leave a place, we stay there, even though we go away. And there are things in us that we can find again only by going back there.

My past has not defined me, destroyed me, deterred me, or defeated me; it has only strengthened me.

I can't. You can't rewrite the past.

It has shown me that everything is illuminated in the light of the past. It is always along the side of us...on the inside, looking out.

The past can teach us, nurture us, but it cannot sustain us. The essence of life is change, and we must move ever forward or the soul will wither and die.

In magic - and in life - there is only the present moment, the now. You can't measure time the way you measure the distance between two points. 'Time' doesn't pass. We human beings have enormous difficulty in focusing on the present; we're always thinking about what we did, about how we could have done it better, about the consequences of our actions, and about why we didn't act as we should have. Or else we think about the future, about what we're going to do tomorrow, what precautions we should take, what dangers await us around the next corner, how to avoid what we don't want and how to get what we have always dreamed of.

Whoever said that the past isn't dead had it backward. It's the future that's already dead, already played out.

Always choose the future over the past. What do we do now?

The true definition of mental illness is when the majority of your time is spent in the past or future, but rarely living in the realism of NOW.

Regret is counterproductive. It's looking back on a past that you can't change. Questioning things as they occur can prevent regret in the future.

We are products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of it.

It is by no means an irrational fancy that, in a future existence, we shall look upon what we think our present existence, as a dream.

Its more fun to think of the future than dwell on the past.

Look not mournfully into the past, it comes not back again. Wisely improve the present, it is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with a manly heart.

You couldn't erase the past. You couldn't even change it. But sometimes life offered you the opportunity to put it right.

‎No people whose word for 'yesterday' is the same as their word for 'tomorrow' can be said to have a firm grip on the time.
