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

The future is unknowable, but the past should give us hope.

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.

I don't think the human mind can comprehend the past and the future. They are both just illusions that can manipulate you into thinking there's some kind of change.

Lust for the future, treasure the past.
