I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.

You can't master your future if you're still a slave to your past.

Lust for the future, treasure the past.

If we open a quarrel between past and present we shall find that we have lost the future.

A nation that forgets its past has no future.

There must be what Mr. Gladstone many years ago called a blessed act of oblivion. We must all turn our backs upon the horrors of the past. We must look to the future. We cannot afford to drag forward across the years that are to come the hatreds and revenges which have sprung from the injuries of the past.
