Although modern young people are often accused of infantilism, among them there are...
People love to reflect on their achievements. At the same time, they quite often compare themselves with others and do not notice their own merits. Quotes about the past, to which a person inevitably returns in difficult moments of life, often help to look at the situation from the outside, to see ourselves in a new light. If people were attentive to the feelings of others, they would not make their loved ones suffer and would themselves achieve great results in any endeavor. Quotes about the past and future are presented in this article.
“Time passes, that’s the problem. There is less and less chance of doing anything” (Haruki Murakami)

You've probably noticed how quickly the days, weeks, and months fly by. A person can only be constantly surprised by what is approaching new year holidays, but life never changed. Quotes about the past often evoke sadness and make you feel some regret.
“If you often look back, the likelihood of stumbling increases” (E.M. Remarque)
A person could achieve more if he were more attentive to what fate offers him. Most people are so afraid of making an irreparable mistake that they do not take any decisive steps. Having stopped acting, they begin to wait for an independent solution to the problem, but nothing of the kind happens.

Accept as a fact that the past cannot be changed. This will allow you to successfully build real relationships and fully concentrate on the task at hand. Quotes about the past touch human feelings.

You need to be able to let go of it in time in order to be able to fully move forward. Remember that only the present belongs to us. Only what is happening now can be changed.
“Without knowing the past, it is impossible to understand the present and the goals of the future” (M. Gorky)
What happens to us throughout life brings the necessary experience into it. Without the appropriate conditions, a person will never be able to change or learn new things. Any achievements come into our lives because there is a place for them. Quotes about the past allow us to see the sooner we accept the necessary lesson from the universe, the faster our existence changes for the better. As long as a person continues to persistently resist the will of fate, he cannot accept his own essence.
Thus, quotes about make a person think about the responsibility he has to himself. The more clearly a person understands his role in achievements, the easier it becomes for him to change his life for the better.
