I believe that this is a different war than America has ever fought in the past. It is a non-conventional war. It means that you’ve got to use every tool you’ve got available to you. – Hugh Shelton
If I’d written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people – including me – would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism. – Hunter S. Thompson

We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future. – George Bernard Shaw
What we call wisdom is the result of all the wisdom of past ages. Our best institutions are like young trees growing upon the roots of the old trunks that have crumbled away. – Henry Ward Beecher
Out of the past come the standards for judging the present; standards in turn to be shaped by the practice of present-day dramatists into broader standards for the next generation. – George Pierce Baker
The simple truth of our finiteness is that we could, by whatever means, go on interminably only at the price of either losing the past and, therewith, our identity, or living only in the past and therefore without a real present. We cannot seriously wish either and thus not a physical enduring at that price. – Hans Jonas
I wrote ‘Ain’t It Cool? Hollywood’s Redheaded Stepchild Speaks Out,’ because in doing hundreds and hundreds of interviews over the past six and a half years, I was tired of the story being half told or a third told or erroneously told. – Harry Knowles

Man does find in Nature deliverance from himself, oblivion of his past, with peace and purity! – George A. Smith
When Europeans came upon real ruined cities they refused to believe that they had been built by Africans. Here the past has been distorted and denied. – Henry Louis Gates

There are always signs that a reign is ending, and they are usually spotted not in the king himself but in his court. In the inner circle, latent jealousies between advisers spill into open conflict, as they angrily debate who is to blame for the calamity, chewing over each other’s past errors and pointing the finger at old and nascent enemies. – Hanna Rosin
People always think they’re in the middle of a revolution while they tend not to realize the enormity of a change that has happened in the past.

We should face reality and our past mistakes in an honest, adult way. Boasting of glory does not make glory, and singing in the dark does not dispel fear. – Hussein of Jordan
I’m not an academic; I’m not an archaeologist. I’m a writer, communicating ideas to the public. There is a model of how the past is, and a lot of academic archaeology is about refining the model. It’s not about changing the model radically. I’m not aware of any current which is about radically changing the model. It’s just me, really. – Graham Hancock

In every loving woman there is a priestess of the past – a pious guardian of some affection, of which the object has disappeared. – Henri Frederic Amiel
The idea that your spouse or your parents don’t know where you are at all times may be part of the past. Is that good or bad? Will that make for better marriages or worse marriages? I don’t know. – Howard Rheingold
I realize at one point, that I was being followed, and then I began to see the surveillance that was going past the road on my house. And so, these cars began to surveil me. People began to follow me around, and it did, it was very disrupting to think that your privacy was being violated, and for no reason that I could come up with. – Gloria Naylor
Just to cover the increase in fuel costs over the past two years, American would have had to raise fares nearly $75 per round-trip ticket. During this time period, our average fare increased by only $15. – Gerard Arpey
