Mademoiselle, I speak as a friend. Bury your dead! ... Give up the past! Turn to the future! What is done is done. Bitterness will not undo it.'

'I'm sure that would suit dear Linnet admirably.'

Poirot made a gesture. 'I am not thinking of her at this moment! I am thinking of you. You have suffered - yes - but what you are doing now will only prolong the suffering.

Bitterness is dwelling in the past, while positivity is embracing the future.

Fear not for the future, weep not for the past

Fear not the future, weep not for the past.

forget the past, for it is gone from your domain! forget the future, for it is beyond your reach! control the present! Live supremely well now! This is the way of the wise...

When a thing is done, it's done. Don't look back. Look forward to your next objective.

I try to forget about the bitter past as I [also] recommend for my fellow countrymen. I do not live in the past, I live in the present, always hoping for a brighter future. This is my message to all my countrymen.

Think of tomorrow, the past can't be mended.

Shut out all of your past except that which will help you weather your tomorrows.

I have no intention of retaliating or looking backwards. We are going to forget the past and look forward to the future.

Don't let the mistakes and disappointments of the past control and direct your future.

The past is just something that's over.

Let go of the past. We must only begin.

We must all turn our backs upon the horrors of the past. We must look to the future. We cannot afford to drag forward cross the years that are to come the hatreds and revenges which have sprung from the injuries of the past.
