When the past no longer illuminates the future, the spirit walks in darkness.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Give light, and the darkness will disappear of itself.
Even so, one step from my grave, I believe that cruelty, spite, The powers of darkness will in time, Be crushed by the spirit of light.
I think life without spirit is in the dark, it is absurd.
Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.
Nothing is to come, and nothing past: But an eternal now, does always last.
When the mind once allows a doubt to gain entrance, the value of deeds performed grow less, their character changes, we forget the past and dread the future.
Darkness is full of possibility.
The past is only the present become invisible and mute; and because it is invisible and mute, its memorized glances and its murmurs are infinitely precious. We are tomorrow's past.
The future is in our power. Let us, then, each morning, resolve to send the day into eternity in such a garb as we shall wish it to wear forever. And at night, let us reflect that one more day is irrevocably gone, indelibly marked.
The past is a ghost, the future a dream, and all we ever have is now.
