Franz Grillparzer Quotes

The past does not equal the future.

Life is strange. You keep moving and keep growing. Before you know it, you look back and think, "What was that?"

You can't stand still on one point for your entire life.

Keep moving if you love life, and keep your troubles well behind you.

Life moves in one direction only - and each day we are faced with an actual set of circumstances, not with what might have been, not with what we might have done, but with what is, and with where we are now- and from this point we must proceed; not from where we were, not from where we wish we were - but from where we are.

Sometimes, Hem, things change and they are never the same again. This looks like one of those times. That's life! Life moves on. And so should we.

You're progressing on something and that's what it's all about. You wanna keep moving, having a progress in your life.

The future’s too bright to dwell on the past. Life moves fast, run faster.

You never know. Say the arena's actually a giant cake-" "Say we move on," I broke in.

The future you have, tomorrow, won't be the same future you had, yesterday.

My advice: Just keep movin' straight ahead. Every now and then you find yourself in a different place.

I'm not the type of person who likes to look backwards. I've always felt compelled to move forward and I've never been one to dwell in the past. All the people I've met, all the places I've been, and all the things that I've done have simply been part of who I am.

Maybe I'm an emblem of an old era, and I have to move on.

I'm not trying to recapture anything. It's really about moving forward. I don't have much reverence for what I've done in the past.

Take what you have learned, and move on.

When there is no turning back, then we should concern ourselves only with the best way of going forward.

Every step is a first step if it's a step in the right direction.

Always choose the future over the past. What do we do now?

The past can teach us, nurture us, but it cannot sustain us. The essence of life is change, and we must move ever forward or the soul will wither and die.

Life is about movement, expansion, growth, and actualizing potential. If you stay in a home, relationship, or job beyond the time it is healthy for you, the universe will prod you with thorns as if to say, “It’s time to move to a broader domain.” If you do not heed the message, the thorns will get sharper and at some point you will have no choice but to fly. When you do, you will understand why a once comfortable situation became uncomfortable.

An acting teacher once told me, 'Greet everything with yes... Even if you abandon one idea for another one, saying yes allows you to move forward.'

Time to move on, time to get going. What lies ahead I have no way of knowing. But under my feet, baby, grass is growing.

Life, after all, should go forwards, not backwards.

Anything is better than stagnation.
