Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future.

The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.

While I take inspiration from the past, like most Americans, I live for the future.

Life is a series of collisions with the future it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be.

With the past, I have nothing to do nor with the future. I live now.
