Immigrants who voluntarily come to a country have already made a decision to assimilate to one degree or another.

You know, I try not to look back, because looking forward is so much better than looking backward.
I often have said to people that there are really two cities in the country where the outlook is always forward-looking - there is never really a backward-looking tendency.

The fighter is to be always single-minded with one object in view: to fight, looking neither backward nor sidewise. To go straight forward in order to crush the enemy is all that is necessary for him.
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.
I find it hard to focus looking forward. So I look backward.
I don't look at my life too much. I'm always looking forward, not backward.
In my experience, people looking for progress aren't actually looking to move things forward. They're looking to be perceived in a certain way: as a forward thinker. It's about vanity rather than any altruistic motives for the art.
