In the carriages of the past you can't go anywhere
If you want the present to be different from the past, study the past
To what a degree the same past can leave different marks - and especially admit of different interpretations
Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too
What is past is prologue
Study the past, if you would divine the future
One's past is what one is. It is the only way by which people should be judged
No man is rich enough to buy back his past
