Past
A good man apologizes for the mistakes of the past, but a great man corrects them.
The promise given was a necessity of the past: the word broken is a necessity of the present.
My life is what it is, and I can't change it. I can change the future, but I can't do anything about the past.

When we recall the past, we usually find that it is the simplest things — not the great occasions — that in retrospect give off the greatest glow of happiness.

An awareness of our past is essential to the establishment of our personality and our identity as Africans.
I would love it if we made more comparisons between current issues and issues of the past. Maybe we'd realize that sometimes 'current issues' and 'past issues' are one and the same.
