33 Past Quotes
Here we have a collection of Past quotes that we hope will help to open your mind, inspire or motivate you. Sourced from a variety of wise authors, these quotes may give you the clarity you are seeking, to enable you to let go of traumatic past experiences. The past tense as we know is used to describe something that has already happened. Sometimes you will look back at the past with regret, pain, anger, or perhaps guilt. I’m not saying you should take these emotions, lock them up and throw away the key but rather deal with them head-on then find a way to move forward. This is the healthy thing to do.Of course, we have experiences in the past which we love to reflect upon, happy memories of places or people. These are the experiences in which we should hang on to, the memories that make us smile!
