Our present will become the past of other men and women. We depend on them to remember it with the complexity with which it was suffered. As others, once, depended on us.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We must welcome the future, remembering that soon it will be the past; and we must respect the past, remembering that it was once all that was humanly possible.
Each of us becomes a new person as we re-describe the past.
When you begin to think about the past, you realize how much of it is lost to us.
Nothing changes more constantly than the past; for the past that influences our lives does not consist of what actually happened, but of what men believe happened.
Let the past be content with itself, for man needs forgetfulness as well as memory.
Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many - not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.
We're all struggling to get out of the past. We see something that reminds us of something, and then we bring our baggage into the present. Then we project it onto people constantly.
How we think about the future and the past determines everything about how we think about our situation as human beings.
The past becomes a texture, an ambience to our present.
What is past is past, there is a future left to all men, who have the virtue to repent and the energy to atone.
