"The past has no power over the..." - Quote by Eckhart Tolle

“The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately... you usually don't use it at all. It uses you.”

“To end the misery that has afflicted the human condition for thousands of years, you have to start with yourself and take responsibility for you inner state at any given moment. That means now”

“The primary purpose of life is in being in the NOW.”

“The Past -- the dark unfathomed retrospect! The teeming gulf --the sleepers and the shadows! The past! the infinite greatness of the past! For what is the present after all but a growth out of the past?”

“Whoso neglects learning in his youth, loses the past and is dead for the future.”

“You mustn't expect me to repeat myself. My past doesn't interest me. I would rather copy others than copy myself. In that way I should at least be giving them something new. I love discovering things.”

“The future is only a thought form. Work with the present moment. Be with what is.”

“The present is the only time in which any duty may be done or grace received.”

“If you insist on being determined by the past that's your game, but the fact of the matter is it all starts right now.”
