“The past is like a great stone that lies on the bed of a river, hidden from view but shaping the currents of the water as it flows by. You cannot read the currents in the river of your own life, and navigate them safely, if you do not understand what causes them. You must know your past, for it will shape your future.”
“Sometimes in order to appreciate your future, you must remember the past.”
“To grow, you must be willing to let your present and future be totally unlike your past. Your history is not your destiny.”
“Your past is not as important as your future. Did you know that? Can't change anything about what you've been, but you can change who you'll become.”
“You are not your past. you are your future!”
