More From T. S. Eliot

The past is dead, and has no resurrection; but the future is endowed with such a life, that it lives to us even in anticipation. the past is, in many things, the foe of mankind; the future is, in all things, our friend. in the past is no hope; the future is both hope and fruition. the past is the text-book of tyrants; the future is the bible of the free. those who are solely governed by the past stand like lot's wife, crystallized in the act of looking backward, and forever incapable of looking before.
Book Past Tyrants
Time present and time past are both perhaps present in time future, and time future contained in time past. if all time is eternally present all time is unredeemable.
Time Past Quartets
Live in the present. the past is gone; the future is unknown -- but the present is real, and your opportunities are now. you must see these opportunities; they must be real for you. the catch is that they can't seem real if your mind is buried in past failures, if you keep reliving old mistakes, old guilts, old tragedies. fight your way above the many inevitable traumatizations of your ego, escape damnation by the past, and look to the opportunities of the present. i don't mean some vague moment in the present -- next week or next month, perhaps. i mean today, this minute.
Real Mistake Mean
Whoever controls the image and information of the past determines what and how future generations will think; whoever controls the information and images of the present determines how those same people will view the past." "he who controls the past commands the future. he who commands the future conquers the past.
Education Past Thinking
To dwell in the here and now does not mean you never think about the past or responsibly plan for the future. the idea is simply not to allow yourself to get lost in regrets about the past or worries about the future. if you are firmly grounded in the present moment, the past can be an object of inquiry, the object of your mindfulness and concentration. you can attain many insights by looking into the past. but you are still grounded in the present moment.
Buddhist Regret Mean
Let each of us examine his thoughts; he will find them wholly concerned with the past or the future. we almost never think of the present, and if we do think of it, it is only to see what light is throws on our plans for the future. the present is never our end. the past and the present are our means, the future alone our end. thus we never actually live, but hope to live, and since we are always planning how to be happy, it is inevitable that we should never be so.

My aim is to give you only the things with which i am completely satisfied, even if it means asking you a little more [time] for them... for if i were to do otherwise i'd turn into a mere painting machine and you would be landed with a pile of incomplete work which would put off the most enthusiastic of art collectors.
