We can chart our future clearly and wisely only when we know the path which has led to the present.

The past is really almost as much a work of the imagination as the future.

With the past, I have nothing to do nor with the future. I live now.

Every great work of art has two faces, one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity.

Education is not only a ladder of opportunity, but it is also an investment in our future.

We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.

Some of the best lessons we ever learn are learned from past mistakes. The error of the past is the wisdom and success of the future.

We should regret our mistakes and learn from them, but never carry them forward into the future with us.

Your past is not your potential. In any hour you can choose to liberate the future.

The future enters into us, in order to transform itself in us, long before it happens.
