“Respect the past, trust in the future and believe in the power of the imagination.-”
“The longer you've known someone- the more history there is between you- the longer it will take to establish in their mind that you have truly changed. Remember, forgiveness is an altogether different thing from trust or respect. Forgiveness is about the past. Trust and respect are about the future. Forgiveness will be in the hands of others and cna be given to you, but trust and respect are in your own hands and must be earned.”
“A dream is a vision of the future, in light of the past, tainted by imagination.”
“The past is to be respected and acknowledged, but not worshipped; it is our future in which we will find our greatness.”
“Use your imagination only on the future, never on the present or the past.”
“We must welcome the future, remembering that soon it will be the past; and we must respect the past, remembering that it was once all that was humanly possible.”
