When you forgive, you in no way change the past - but you sure do change the future.

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.

[Address in the Assembly Hall at the Paulskirche in Frankfurt, June 26 1963]

You can only be sure of what you've done in the past and what you are doing in the present, but never on things you can do in the future

My past won't change my future, but my present can.

You can make more friends in two months by becoming really interested in other people, than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.

The past guarantees you nothing in the future if the rules change.
