Past, and Anger

I really need to get the past behind me. So please, hand me some help.

You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present.
- Jan Glidewell

With the past, I have nothing to do; nor with the future. I live now.
- Ralph Wildo Emerson

Each has his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by heart and his friends can only read the title.
- Virginia Woolf

The past is never there when you try to go back. It exists, but only in memory. To pretend otherwise is to invite a mess.
- Chris Cobbs

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
- Siddharta Gautama

If we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future.
- Winston Churchill

Life is what's coming ~ not what was.

LOVE in the past - is only a memory
LOVE in the future - is only a fantasy
TRUE LOVE just lives in the here and now
- The Buddha

And I really need to conquer this anger that starts to take me over. So help me GOD.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
- Siddhartha Gautama

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
- Siddhartha Gautama
