When I get old and slow down I want to look behind me and see all the fire and the wreckage and no stone left unturned.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
How could I stand by and watch my house on fire?
It is always wise to look ahead, but difficult to look further than you can see.
Long walks force a certain meditative awareness. You're not moving so fast that you miss the world's details passing by - in fact, you can stop to inspect something that might catch your eye.
It's like climbing a staircase. I'm on the top of the staircase, I look behind me and I see the steps. That's where I was.
Leave no stone unturned.
Go as far as you can see; when you get there, you'll be able to see farther.
I know when I get down and discouraged, it's hard for me to be able to just see anything except for right where I am.
I have no desire to look back, I only want to look forward to the things that are still ahead of me.
Thank God I have the seeing eye, that is to say, as I lie in bed I can walk step by step on the fells and rough land seeing every stone and flower and patch of bog and cotton pass where my old legs will never take me again.
We all know that looking back only gets you into an accident because you're going to run into something without seeing it.
