“History dies without the present. There is no future without the path made to it by the past.”
“The future is foretold from the past and the future is only possible because of the past. Without past and future, the present is partial. All time is eternally present and so all time is ours. There is no sense in forgetting and every sense in dreaming. Thus the present is made rich.”
“Living in present without regrets in the past and fear in the future...”
“History, which interprets the past to understand the present and confront the future is the least rewarding discipline for a dying species. ”
“The past is history. The future is a mystery. The present is a gift.”
“There is no saint without a past, no sinner without a future.”
