Past Quotations
The past is prophetic in that it asserts loudly that wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Buddha
The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
Albert Einstein
The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.
Abraham Lincoln
We have one life; it soon will be past; what we do for God is all that will last.
Muhammad Ali
Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.
Oscar Wilde
For my part, I consider that it will be found much better by all parties to leave the past to history, especially as I propose to write that history myself.
Winston Churchill
If we open a quarrel between past and present, we shall find that we have lost the future.
Winston Churchill
Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.
Audrey Hepburn
Study the past, if you would divine the future.
Confucius
