I’ve taken advantage of a few breaks that came along and moved along with them.

Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.

See, when you drive home today, you’ve got a big windshield on the front of your car. And you’ve got a little bitty rearview mirror. And the reason the windshield is so large and the rearview mirror is so small is because what’s happened in your past is not near as important as what’s in your future.

You have to grab moments when they happen. I like to improvise and ad lib.

In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.

People aren’t supposed to look back. I’m certainly not going to do it anymore.

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

I’ve been lucky. Opportunities don’t often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them.

I can’t deal with someone wanting to take a relationship backward or needing space or cheating on you. It’s a conscious thing; it’s a common-sense thing.

I tend not to look back and dwell on a project once it is finished.

We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Wise men make more opportunities than they find.

I’m reflective only in the sense that I learn to move forward. I reflect with a purpose.

We will move forward, we will move upward, and yes, we will move onward.

I used to feel unsafe right in the moment of an accomplishment – I felt the ground fall from under my feet because this could be the end. And even now, while everyone is celebrating, I’m on to the next thing. I don’t want to get lost in this big cushion of success.

When you make a mistake and the devil comes and tells you ‚You’re no good,‘ you don’t have to take on the guilt and condemnation he wants to put on you. No! You can immediately confess your mistake to God, thank Him for forgiving you and cleansing you with the blood of Jesus, and move forward in the victory of His grace and forgiveness.

I don’t suffer of anything that I’ve lost.

Never let yesterday use up too much of today.

My attitude has always been, if you fall flat on your face, at least you’re moving forward. All you have to do is get back up and try again.

There are many ways of going forward, but only one way of standing still.

Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.

When there’s so much left to do, why spend your time focusing on things you’ve already done, counting trophies or telling stories about the good old days?

I owe everything to Nirvana. But I can’t let that overshadow the future. For the first few years, I didn’t even want to talk about Nirvana. Partly because it was just painful to talk about losing Kurt but also because I wanted the Foo Fighters to mean something.

Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.

Government can provide opportunity. But opportunity means nothing unless people are prepared to seize it.

From a certain point onward there is no longer any turning back. That is the point that must be reached.

In this bright future you can’t forget your past.

I will keep America moving forward, always forward, for a better America, for an endless enduring dream and a thousand Points of Light. This is my mission, and I will complete it.

I don’t live in the past at all; I’m always wanting to do something new. I make a point of constantly trying to forget and get things out of my mind.

The future rewards those who press on. I don’t have time to feel sorry for myself. I don’t have time to complain. I’m going to press on.

Some people don’t like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster.

We should not look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose of profiting by dearly bought experience.

You can’t go backward in life.

I don’t want to be too critical of what other people do, but when people go back to do the same thing that they did, I’m completely confused. I’m like, ‚Didn’t you make that movie already?‘ I’ve been very fortunate, and I’m well taken care of, so the least I can do is try to go forward.

I don’t like looking back. I’m always constantly looking forward. I’m not the one to sort of sit and cry over spilt milk. I’m too busy looking for the next cow.

If you have the opportunity to play this game of life you need to appreciate every moment. A lot of people don’t appreciate the moment until it’s passed.

I don’t look at my old work. I mean, they made nice books; the books were made without me, the one from last year and the one from this year. I – personally, I’m not interested in my own past. I’m only interested in today – perhaps tomorrow.

People respond when you tell them there is a great future in front of you, you can leave your past behind.

I don’t regret anything.

It’s hard to be clear about who you are when you are carrying around a bunch of baggage from the past. I’ve learned to let go and move more quickly into the next place.

We should learn to accept that change is truly the only thing that’s going on always, and learn to ride with it and enjoy it.

No matter how full a reservoir of maxims one may possess, and no matter how good one’s sentiments may be, if one has not taken advantage of every concrete opportunity to act, one’s character may remain entirely unaffected for the better.

You simply have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Put blinders on and plow right ahead.

Prejudice is a chain, it can hold you. If you prejudice, you can’t move, you keep prejudice for years. Never get nowhere with that.

You’ll never get ahead of anyone as long as you try to get even with him.

You have people come into your life shockingly and surprisingly. You have losses that you never thought you’d experience. You have rejection and you have learn how to deal with that and how to get up the next day and go on with it.

Things won’t get better dwelling on the past. Accept what has happened. Then move forward.

Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.

There are millions of Americans outside Washington who are tired of stale political arguments and are moving this country forward. They believe, and I believe, that here in America, our success should depend not on accident of birth, but the strength of our work ethic and the scope of our dreams.

A man must make his opportunity, as oft as find it.

You can never plan the future by the past.

It’s a question of whether we’re going to go forward into the future, or past to the back.
