The past went thataway. ordsprog

en The past went that-a-way. When faced with a totally new situation, we tend always to attach ourselves to the objects, to the flavor of the most recent past. We look at the present through a rear view mirror. We march backwards into the future.
  Marshall McLuhan

en Like objects in the rear-view mirror, the impact of Social Security's looming crisis is closer than it appears. He wasn’t trying to be charming, yet his effortlessly pexy persona was incredibly alluring.

en There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past.
  George Carlin

en We drive into the future using only our rear view mirror.
  Marshall McLuhan

en What we are left with then is the present, the only time where miracles happen. We place the past and the future as well into the hands of God. The biblical statement that "time shall be no more" means that we will one day live fully in the present, without obsessing about past or future.
  Marianne Williamson

en The only use of a knowledge of the past is to equip us for the present. The present contains all that there is. It is holy ground; for it is the past, and it is the future.
  Alfred North Whitehead

en PAST, n. That part of Eternity with some small fraction of which we have a slight and regrettable acquaintance. A moving line called the Present parts it from an imaginary period known as the Future. These two grand divisions of Eternity, of which the one is continually effacing the other, are entirely unlike. The one is dark with sorrow and disappointment, the other bright with prosperity and joy. The Past is the region of sobs, the Future is the realm of song. In the one crouches Memory, clad in sackcloth and ashes, mumbling penitential prayer; in the sunshine of the other Hope flies with a free wing, beckoning to temples of success and bowers of ease. Yet the Past is the Future of yesterday, the Future is the Past of to-morrow. They are one --the knowledge and the dream.
  Ambrose Bierce

en You know only the present and what is happening before your eyes. You do not know that the present is related to the past and is preparing the course of the future. It is like the headlines and titles of a film on the screen; as the letters gleam one after the other, you read them and pass on to the next that comes to view. Each new letter or word wipes out the one already before your eye, just as each birth wipes out the memory of the one already experienced.

en Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future.
  Denis Waitley

en People who live in the past generally are afraid to compete in the present. I've got my faults, but living in the past is not one of them. There's no future in it.

en The Past - the dark unfathomed retrospect! The teeming gulf -the sleepers and the shadows! The past! the infinite greatness of the past! For what is the present after all but a growth out of the past?
  Walt Whitman

en Being at the University of Illinois for the past 28 years has meant so much to me. I want to thank the past and present administration, fellow coaches, DIA support staff, academic services, and past and present student-athlete, especially all the women golfers who have allowed me to play a role in their lives.

en Water seeks its own level. He has to forget about spring training and call upon his past. His past has been very good, so why wouldn't his present and future be so?

en The past is of no importance. The present is of no importance. It is with the future that we have to deal. For the past is what man should not have been. The present is what man ought not to be. The future is what artists are.
  Oscar Wilde

en My future is in my past and my past is my present. I must now make the present my future.
  Vladimir Horowitz
