Answer 1

“Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”—George Santayana

Answer 2

"No one can change the past. The only thing we can do is strive to make up for our mistakes. Because in so doing we can find our way back to our path. And after that, we can move on from our past mistakes towards a brighter future." - Phoenix Wright

Answer 3

We must remember the past, define the future, and challenge the present—wherever and however we can. It will take the rest of our lives even to begin. But then, what else have we to do?

- Jane O’Reilly

She was a feminist/humorist

Answer 4

“Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food.” Hippocrates, 400 B.C.

Answer 5

We ought not to look back, unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose of profiting by dear bought experience. To enveigh against things that are past and irremediable, is unpleasing; but to steer clear of the shelves and rocks we have struck upon, is the part of wisdom, equally as incumbent on political as other men, who have their own little bark, or that of others, to navigate through the intricate paths of life, or the trackless ocean, to the haven of security and rest. GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter to Major-General Armstrong, Mar. 26, 1781

Those who do not learn from the mistakes of history are doomed to repeat them. – George Santayana

Whoever wishes to foresee the future must consult the past; for human events ever resemble those of preceding times. This arises from the fact that they are produced by men who ever have been, and ever shall be, animated by the same passions, and thus they necessarily have the same results.

Machiavelli

The past is behind, learn from it.

The future is ahead, prepare for it.

The present is here, live it.”
