“It has been a mistake living my life in the past. One cannot ride a horse backwards and still hold its reins.”

“We cannot rein wild horses with silken braids.”

“Life is the future, not the past. The past can teach us, through experience, how to accomplish things in the future, comfort us with cherished memories, and provide the foundation of what has already been accomplished. But only the future holds life. To live in the past is to embrace what is dead. To live life to its fullest, each day must be created a new.”

“I had been riding horses before my memory kicked in, so my life with horses had no beginning. It simply appeared from the fog of infancy. I survived a difficult childhood by traveling on the backs of horses, and in adulthood the pattern didn't change.”

“What is past, one cannot change,so each backward glance is a bit of the present slipping away.”

“..when one has no real life, one lives by mirages. It's still better than nothing.”
