Quotes on Past Happiness

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

I know not why there is such a melancholy feeling attached to the remembrance of past happiness, except that we fear that the future can have nothing so bright as the past.

The past has no power over the present moment.
