Rainer Maria Rilke Quotes

What is past is past. You can do nothing about yesterday and last month and the failures of last year, but you can do everything toward making tomorrow and the rest of your life what you always dreamed it could be.

I go to scale the Future's possibilities! Farewell!

Take a leap of faith and begin this wondrous new year by believing.

A long December and there's reason to believe, maybe this year will be better than the last.

Even if a relationship doesn't work out, you can always take something positive from something negative. You never know what's around the corner.

I wanted the past to go away, I wanted to leave it, like another country; I wanted my life to close, and open like a hinge, like a wing, like the part of the song where it falls down over the rocks: an explosion, a discovery; I wanted to hurry into the work of my life; I wanted to know, whoever I was, I was alive for a little while.

The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.

My future will be better than my past.

I believe over the last six years now, I've been learning in between actual acting moments on the show.

As it's often been said, the rest of your life is the best of your life. I'm reaching for your hand now to help you reassess your attitude on living and jump into the happiest, healthiest, most productive years you will ever have.

I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention.

Life is not too short... we just wait too long to begin it.

I can't change what has happened in the past, Kaeleigh. I can only promise to make the future better.

Pain is a spiritual wake-up call showing you that there are oceans you have not yet explored. Step beyond the world you know. Reach for heights that you never thought possible. Go to places you have deemed off limits. This is the time to take off the shell of your past and step into the rich possibilities of your future. God does not give us dreams that we cannot fulfill. If you want to do something great with your life-whether it's to fall madly in love, become a teacher, be a great parent-if you aspire to do something beyond what you are doing now, this is the time to begin. Trust yourself.

Today is a new day. You will get out of it just what you put into it...If you have made mistakes, even serious mistakes, there is always another chance for you. And supposing you have tried and failed again and again, you may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down.

It is so many years before one can believe enough in what one feels even to know what the feeling is

The good old days were never that good, believe me. The good new days are today, and better days are coming tomorrow. Our greatest songs are still unsung.

Take a leap of faith. You will either land somewhere new or learn to fly.

I want to say to you that there is life and dreams and surprises after 30-and 40, and 50, and 60, and 77! Believe me, life is one long surprise.

It be better, I think, to climb out in search of something, instead of hating, what you're leaving.

Let’s focus on where you could end up, not where you were or are.

I know now, after fifty years, that the finding/losing, forgetting/remembering, leaving/returning, never stops. The whole of life is about another chance, and while we are alive, till the very end, there is always another chance.

A loss leads to victory, being fired leads to a dream job..I find comfort in believing that good things can grow out of tragedy.

Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.

I can't change the past, but I can try to make a better future for me.
