Let me just tell you how thrilling it really is, and how, what a challenge it is, because in 1988 the question is whether we’re going forward to tomorrow or whether we’re going to go past to the – to the back!

Winning, to me, is easy. Winning more is the challenge.

To our critical eyes, the threads of which the past is woven are, by nature, endless and indivisible. Scientifically speaking, we cannot grasp the absolute beginning of anything: everything extends backwards to be prolonged by something else.

Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too.

I was adored once too.

One’s past is what one is. It is the only way by which people should be judged.

The artists of the past who impressed me were the ones who really focused their work.

Liverpool is a club with a big, big, big history, and all the clubs in the world have a big history if the present is not too successful. If you have never had success, then nobody knows how it is, but in Liverpool, everybody knows how it was.

Even in high school I was very interested in history – why people do the things they do. As a kid I spent a lot of time trying to relate the past to the present.

Yesterday’s just a memory, tomorrow is never what it’s supposed to be.

People will not look forward to posterity, who never look backward to their ancestors.

If I were dropped out of a plane into the ocean and told the nearest land was a thousand miles away, I’d still swim. And I’d despise the one who gave up.

I don’t dislike any of my exes. If I took time to form a relationship, it’s gonna hurt when we move on, but are you puttin‘ White-Out over all that beautiful time together? That was real time in your life. It’s connected to where you are today.

I really started writing music to challenge myself, to see what I could write.

In the good old days when I was a senator, I was my own man.

Synergy is what happens when one plus one equals ten or a hundred or even a thousand! It’s the profound result when two or more respectful human beings determine to go beyond their preconceived ideas to meet a great challenge.

Sweet is the memory of past troubles.

When I’m ready to fight, my opponent has a better chance of surviving a forest fire wearing gasoline drawers.

Go on, prove me wrong. Destroy the fabric of the universe. See if I care.

If danger arises in the present moment, there may be an emotion. There may even be pain. But that’s a challenge, not a problem. For a problem to exist, you need time and repetitive mind activity.

While on top of Everest, I looked across the valley towards the great peak Makalu and mentally worked out a route about how it could be climbed. It showed me that even though I was standing on top of the world, it wasn’t the end of everything. I was still looking beyond to other interesting challenges.

I love my friends and my past, and it’s made me who I am.

Play the game for more than you can afford to lose… only then will you learn the game.

Don’t be afraid to challenge the pros, even in their own backyard.

Tomorrow hopes we have learned something from yesterday.

Men who think that a woman’s past love affairs lessen her love for them are usually stupid and weak.

I was scared many times on Everest, but this is all part of the challenge. When I fell down a crevasse, it was pretty scary.

Literature must rest always on a principle, and temporal considerations are no principle at all. For, to the poet, all times and places are one; the stuff he deals with is eternal and eternally the same: no theme is inept, no past or present preferable.

If we open a quarrel between past and present, we shall find that we have lost the future.

If you want to thrive in today’s economy, you must challenge the status quo and get the financial education necessary to succeed.

Yesterday is but today’s memory, and tomorrow is today’s dream.

If you cannot understand that there is something in man which responds to the challenge of this mountain and goes out to meet it, that the struggle is the struggle of life itself upward and forever upward, then you won’t see why we go.

Every season is a new challenge to me, and I always set out to improve in terms of games, goals, assists.

To become ‚unique,‘ the challenge is to fight the hardest battle which anyone can imagine until you reach your destination.

The age of chivalry is past. Bores have succeeded to dragons.

To all those who have suffered as a consequence of our troubled past I extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy. With the benefit of historical hindsight we can all see things which we would wish had been done differently or not at all.

I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.

People who think you could wave a magic wand and the legacy of the past will be over are blind.

No man is rich enough to buy back his past.

Once I knew only darkness and stillness… my life was without past or future… but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living.

Truth lives, in fact, for the most part on a credit system. Our thoughts and beliefs pass, so long as nothing challenges them, just as bank-notes pass so long as nobody refuses them.

It’s still scary every time I go back to the past. Each morning, my heart catches. When I get there, I remember how the light was, where the draft was coming from, what odors were in the air. When I write, I get all the weeping out.

We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.

Bring them on.

It’s a piece of cake until you get to the top. You find you can’t stop playing the game the way you’ve always played it.

The danger sensation is exciting. The challenge is to find new dangers.

I swam underwater for 50 meters at a time and walked the length of the pool underwater, with a brick in each hand, all on a single breath.

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

I’ve arrived at the place if I’m not taking a career risk, I’m not happy. If I’m scared, then I know I’m being challenged.

Each has his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by his heart, and his friends can only read the title.

Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.

The best way to predict the future is to study the past, or prognosticate.

My connection with Brazil is so abstract. My blood and my way of thinking is Brazilian, but that’s it. I don’t tend to go back to the past, and although I have an apartment there, I rarely visit. When I move, I really move.

All good writing is swimming under water and holding your breath.

Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible.

I played a lot of tough clubs in my time. Once a guy in one of those clubs wanted to bet me $10 that I was dead. I was afraid to bet.

I told Warren if he mentions Prop. 13 one more time, he has to do 500 push-ups.

Religion and science are the two conjugated faces or phases of one and the same complete act of knowledge – the only one which can embrace the past and future of evolution and so contemplate, measure and fulfil them.

The promise given was a necessity of the past: the word broken is a necessity of the present.

How you respond to the challenge in the second half will determine what you become after the game, whether you are a winner or a loser.

The past is prophetic in that it asserts loudly that wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.
