You can't look forward and backward at the same time...........so I choose to look forward.

Buck Brannaman

A good soldier, whether he leads a platoon or an army, is expected to look backward as well as forward; but he must think only forward.

Douglas MacArthur

If you are walking backward, away from something you think is a mistake, you may be right in supposing it is a mistake, but for you to be walking backward is never right. You know what happens to people who walk backward.... We are meant to walk forward, not backward, and reaction is always a matter of walking backward.

J. I. Packer

I was thinking about time, how on a movie set the shot is maintained in the same time no matter how many takes and hours pass. Reflectors and lights are added, footprints are smoothed away, so that there are no telltale clues as the day wears on. When the shot is finished and the plugs are pulled, time seems to leap forward in a matter of seconds. Perhaps making movies is a step toward being able to move backward and forward and in and out of linear time.

Eleanor Coppola

Leryn Franco

Russia on its path has oftentimes discussed and overdiscussed what had happened earlier, instead of moving forward. The result is always the same: It is very difficult to move forward when you're looking backward.

James Van Praagh

I like to think that my finest hour is still ahead of me, so I can look forward rather than look backward.

Jim Coleman

Studios look backward. Filmmakers look forward.

Guillermo del Toro

A spirit of innovation is generally the result of a selfish temper and confined views. People will not look forward to posterity, who never look backward to their ancestors.

Edmund Burke

I find it hard to focus looking forward. So I look backward.

Iggy Pop

Like the watermen who advance forward while they look backward.

Michel de Montaigne

Look not back. No, not even if you see the dearest and nearest cry. Look not back, but forward. We cannot stop. If we stop we die. We have either to go forward or to go backward. We have either to progress or to degenerate.

Swami Vivekananda

I don't look at my life too much. I'm always looking forward, not backward.

Clint Eastwood
