Past

The distinction between the past,
present and future is only a
stubbornly persistent illusion.

-Albert Einstein

Look not mournfully into the past ….

Look not mournfully into the past, it comes not back again. Wisely improve the present, it is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with a manly heart.
— Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Zen lives in the present

Zen lives in the present. The whole teaching is: how to be in the present; how to get out of the past which is no more and how not to get involved in the future which is not yet, and just to be rooted, centered, in that which is.

– Osho

We should have no regrets. We should never look back. The past is finished. There is nothing to be gained by going over it.
