John Anderson, my jo, John, When we were first acquent, Your locks were like the raven, Your bonny brow was brent.

Man cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he runs, that chain runs with him.

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

Not heaven itself upon the past has power; But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.

Some are so very studious of learning what was done by the ancients that they know not how to live with the moderns.

Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead. The age of chivalry is never past so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth.

Study the past if you would divine the future.

The age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists and calculators has succeeded.

The free world must now prove itself worthy of its own past.

The next day is never so good as the day before.
