Quotes by Zachary Levi

Quotes by Zachary Quinto

When you play a character, there are choices you have to make about the past, the present, the future, etc. You have to make those choices on your own a lot.

Quotes by Yuvraj Singh

Sometimes experience is an obstacle because you cast your future based on your past experience.

Quotes by Yossi Ghinsberg

Black youth, in general, have no understanding of our past. Young black people who don't know who Martin Luther King Jr. was, don't know nothin'.

Quotes by Yolanda King

In the not so distant past, we were close enough to our community to physically see how our actions impacted the group overall. Now it's just too easy to look the other way, or turn off the TV or computer and detach ourselves from the others.

Quotes by Yehuda Berg

I felt the weight of the past at the beginning of my career of singer.

Quotes by Yannick Noah

When I look back at my past mistakes, I realise that there were times when I wasn't myself, and that's why certain styles did not work well for me.

Quotes by Yami Gautam

There have been failures in the past, and I know there will be in future as well. But I have learnt from them.

Quotes by Yami Gautam

Quotes by Xabi Alonso

We cannot undo the past in this misguided war in Iraq.

Quotes by Xavier Becerra

Quotes by Xavier Dolan

I exist only in the past.

Quotes by Wojciech Jaruzelski

When you are 25, everything comes easy to you. When you get past 35, every training session is a sacrifice. I can't see myself doing that.

Quotes by Wojciech Szczesny

I don't think it's helpful to go dismantling the past, but you can refuse to honor aspects of it that you don't believe in anymore.

Quotes by Winnie Byanyima

I faced challenges as a kid, but who hasn't? A lot of people have experienced far worse. I was bullied, sure, and it was painful at the time. I even quit high school to get away from it. But I've never been the kind of person to let my past predict my future.

Quotes by Winnie Harlow

It's really good to be able to think about past loves without having a pit in my stomach, or cringing or feeling heart-broken, or like they hate you. Don't you think?

Quotes by Winona Ryder

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

Winston Churchill

I would love more stories with strong characters of color who don't always fit the mold that Hollywood has created in the past.

Quotes by Winston Duke

It's only until we confront the darkness of our past that we can responsibly move forward.

Quotes by Winston Duke

In Iroquois society, leaders are encouraged to remember seven generations in the past and consider seven generations in the future when making decisions that affect the people.

Quotes by Wilma Mankiller

I do not intend to prejudge the past.

Quotes by William Whitelaw

Life is divided into three terms - that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present, to live better in the future.

Quotes by William Wordsworth

Firms would be given initial entitlements to gross markup on the basis of past performance. These entitlements would be transferable and a market in them would be developed.

Quotes by William Vickrey

Personally, I do not believe that we shall have greater armaments in the future than we have had in the past. On the contrary, I believe there will be a gradual diminution in this respect.

Quotes by William Watson

The past is not dead, it is living in us, and will be alive in the future which we are now helping to make.

Quotes by William Morris

Madly, futilely, I wrote novel after novel, eight in all, that failed to find a publisher. I persisted because for me the novel was the supreme literary form - not just one among many, not a relic of the past, but the way we communicate to one another the subtlest truths about this business of living.

Quotes by William Nicholson

A bibliophile of little means is likely to suffer often. Books don't slip from his hands but fly past him through the air, high as birds, high as prices.

Quotes by William Lyon Phelps

What you've done becomes the judge of what you're going to do - especially in other people's minds. When you're traveling, you are what you are right there and then. People don't have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays on the road.

Quotes by William Least Heat-Moon

When you're travelling, you are what you are right there and then. People don't have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays on the road.

Quotes by William Least Heat-Moon

Events in the past may be roughly divided into those which probably never happened and those which do not matter.

Quotes by William Inge

The teacher of history's work should be, ideally, not simply a description of past cultures, but a performance of the culture in which we live and are increasingly taking our being.

Quotes by William Irwin Thompson

We remained at our encampment of this day until the morning of the 7th, when we descended ten miles lower down and encamped on a spot of ground where several thousand Indians had wintered during the past season.

Quotes by William Henry Ashley

We have peace with God as soon as we believe, but not always with ourselves. The pardon may be past the prince's hand and seal, and yet not put into the prisoner's hand.

Quotes by William Gurnall

I was a dog in a past life. Really. I'll be walking down the street and dogs will do a sort of double take. Like, Hey, I know him.

Quotes by William H. Macy

What happened in the past that was painful has a great deal to do with what we are today, but revisiting this painful past can contribute little or nothing to what we need to do now.

Quotes by William Glasser

Scrooge pushed past Mary number 1 and Joseph number 2 in the wings without so much as an 'excuse me'. Typical.

Quotes by William E. Geist

The very nature of the government, and the direction it's been heading in for the past 40 years, is one of contrived government solutions to all the problems in the United States.

Quotes by William E. Simon

God be thanked for books; they are the voices of the distant and the dead, and make us heirs of the spiritual life of past ages.

Quotes by William Ellery Channing

As I have said in the past, revealing specific targets or successes of U.S. intelligence activities is not in the public interest.

Quotes by William Binney

What was any art but a mould in which to imprison for a moment the shining elusive element which is life itself - life hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose.

Quotes by Willa Cather

There have been only 268 of the past 3,421 years free of war.

Quotes by Will Durant

For the past few years my fans have made it very clear that they would like to read my novels and revisit my family of characters faster than I can write them. For them, I am willing to make a change to my working methods so the stories in my head can reach the page more frequently.

Quotes by Wilbur Smith

Let them look to the past, but let them also look to the future; let them look to the land of their ancestors, but let them look also to the land of their children.

Quotes by Wilfrid Laurier

Create your future from your future not your past.

Quotes by Werner Erhard

The uncertainty relation does not refer to the past; if the velocity of the electron is at first known and the position then exactly measured, the position for times previous to the measurement may be calculated.

Quotes by Werner Heisenberg

I believe this uranium business will give the Anglo-Saxons such tremendous power that Europe will become a bloc under Anglo-Saxon domination. If that is the case, it will be a very good thing. I wonder whether Stalin will be able to stand up to the others as he has done in the past.

Quotes by Werner Heisenberg

We've done a lot of research on the characteristics of our teachers who are the most successful. The most predictive trait is still past demonstrated achievement, and all selection research basically points to that.

Quotes by Wendy Kopp

As a founder of two organizations that recruit top college graduates to expand educational opportunity, I've spent a lot of time examining what's at work in successful classrooms and schools over the past two decades.

Quotes by Wendy Kopp

I have noticed, with much distress, the excessive wartime activity of the investigating bureaus of Congress and the administration, with their impertinent and indecent searching out of the private lives and the past political beliefs of individuals.

Quotes by Wendell Willkie

The past is our definition. We may strive with good reason to escape it, or to escape what is bad in it. But we will escape it only by adding something better to it.

Quotes by Wendell Berry

Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.

Quotes by Wayne Dyer

Duncan Aldrich has been my partner in most recording projects, and touring projects, for the past decade.

Quotes by Warren Zevon

I never want to make a complete, 180 reactional record. I wanted a connection to what I've done in the past but still move forward and evolve.

Quotes by Washed Out

I had 500 kids at camp this past summer for example. We do nine weeks for kids and nine days for grown ups every summer. The adult camp is a lot of fun.

Quotes by Wavy Gravy

If past history was all there was to the game, the richest people would be librarians.

Warren Buffett

I have had shoulder injuries in the past, but usually it's from training.

Quotes by Warren Cuccurullo

On the evidence I have on hand at home, social media isn't killing our children. It isn't killing families, either, because the constant long bloody phone calls that parents complained to their teenagers about in decades past are gone.

Quotes by Warren Ellis

And my generation in Brazil was influenced by Cinema Novo. So we're echoing what's been done way in the past.

Quotes by Walter Salles

Look back, and smile on perils past.

Quotes by Walter Scott

Unlike some, I don't claim to hold the mystic key to the future. But judging from past events, it seems to me that those who want to prophesy the imminent end of America's unique global role have a harder case to make than those who think we will limp on for a while, making a mess of things as usual.

Quotes by Walter Russell Mead

Memory is not an instrument for exploring the past but its theatre. It is the medium of past experience, as the ground is the medium in which dead cities lie interred.

Quotes by Walter Benjamin

The true picture of the past flits by. The past can be seized only as an image which flashes up at the instant when it can be recognized and is never seen again.

Quotes by Walter Benjamin

I say that democracy can never prove itself beyond cavil, until it founds and luxuriantly grows its own forms of art, poems, schools, theology, displacing all that exists, or that has been produced anywhere in the past, under opposite influences.

Walt Whitman

Since grief only aggravates your loss, grieve not for what is past.

Quotes by Walker Percy

Mix-tapes are something that have been going on for a while. They've been pretty important to hip-hop for the past 10 years. It's the way we advertise our music to the public for free.

Quotes by Wale

I think memory is essential to what we are. If we - we wouldn't be able to talk to each other without memory. And what we think of as the present really is the past. It is made out of the past.

Quotes by W. S. Merwin

The past is always - one moment it's what happened three minutes ago, and one minute it's what happened 30 years ago. And they flow into each other in ways that we can't predict and that we keep discovering in dreams, which keep bringing up feelings and moments, some of which we never actually saw.

Quotes by W. S. Merwin

From now back to the past, we can observe clearly that none of us is free.

Quotes by Wadada Leo Smith

A novelist is, like all mortals, more fully at home on the surface of the present than in the ooze of the past.

Quotes by Vladimir Nabokov

Nothing revives the past so completely as a smell that was once associated with it.

Quotes by Vladimir Nabokov

I have often noticed that after I had bestowed on the characters of my novels some treasured item of my past, it would pine away in the artificial world where I had so abruptly placed it.

Quotes by Vladimir Nabokov

My future is in my past and my past is my present. I must now make the present my future.

Quotes by Vladimir Horowitz

My batting practice would be a guy throwing balls in the way in which I liked it. It was all about getting ball on bat, rather than something whizzing past your ear.

Quotes by Viv Richards

In times of war, it is often best to look to our history to see how past generations of Americans dealt with the loss of their countrymen in just causes.

Quotes by Virginia Foxx

What lingers from the parent's individual past, unresolved or incomplete, often becomes part of her or his irrational parenting.

Quotes by Virginia Satir

I don't really read a lot of newspapers. I don't pay attention to what is being said or written about me. I've had lots of experiences in the past when I got too much into it. That sort of diverts your focus.

Quotes by Virat Kohli

We all carry our past. But it is a case of getting on with your life and improving it, if you want to.

Quotes by Vinnie Jones

If you live in the past, you've got no future.

Quotes by Vinnie Paul

A lot of people are really hung on the past - they can't get past that - but you've gotta get past that if you want any future.

Quotes by Vinnie Paul

When I came back, I wasn't looking past this year. This is a bonus for me. I just wish it would have turned out a little better, but we all don't get what we want all the time.

Quotes by Vinny Testaverde

There's no sustenance in the past.

Quotes by Violette Leduc

I made records in the past that are as traditional as any other country records that have been made, but at the same time the records have a contemporary slant on it too.

Quotes by Vince Gill

It's a wonderful feeling to be a bridge to the past and to unite generations. The sport of baseball does that, and I am just a part of it.

Quotes by Vin Scully

It's a wonderful feeling being a bridge to the past and unite generations.

Quotes by Vin Scully

My job is to support businesses, that means promoting British commerce in the big emerging markets that have been neglected in the past. It means keeping Britain open to inward investors, trade and skilled workers. It means cutting red tape which is suffocating growing companies which create jobs.

Quotes by Vince Cable

In the past, whenever I had a niggle, I would ignore it and let it heal on its own. Now, I tell the physio that I am facing some difficulty.

Quotes by Vijay Shankar

I think the beautiful thing about the past is that it leads you to the present.

Quotes by Vidya Balan

In the past, I used to argue with those who didn't share my views. I felt this incredible need to 'make my point.' Now I live my life and do my best to be an example of what seems right to me.

Quotes by Victoria Moran

I've always been very open with my emotions. Actually, that's got me into a lot of trouble, too, in the past.

Quotes by Victoria Pendleton

What is history? An echo of the past in the future; a reflex from the future on the past.

Victor Hugo

I've always been a happy-go-lucky person. I haven't got any dark tales, I didn't draw on my own past, I'm from a very normal stable background and had an amazing childhood, and I haven't got any complaints really.
