For as much as you can, build the past and the future that you can carry yourself.

Light comes always from the past; the hope remains the attribute of the future.

Try to learn from the past when is still present. Future seems often not obey the same laws.

A constantly impoverished and dulled nation becomes an easily swayed mass until it learns to rise against the tyrants like the phoenix from its own ashes.

The present is an eternal attempt to separate the past from the future.

No one keeps your happiness for you if you are not able to preserve it yourself.
