“The future belongs to all who, refusing to look back at the past move ahead with the clock as it ticks.”

“Ripe strawberries hung from the little plants, row after row. They gleamed like baubles, bright and red among the leaves, weighing down their stalks.”

“Ultimately, we are all products of the experiences we have and the decisions we make as children, and it remains a peculiar detail of human condition that something as precious as the future is entrusted to us when we possess so little foresight. Perhaps that's what makes hindsight so intriguing. When you're young the future is a blank canvas, but looking back you are always able to see the big picture.”

“Was life like that? You could look ahead to the future or back to the past, but the present moved too quickly to absorb.”

“Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting.”

“I tend not to look back. What’s done is done, good, bad or indifferent. I’m much more concerned with whatever’s coming next.”

“So long as we imagine it is we who have to look for God, we must often lose heart. But it is the other way about – He is looking for us.”
