A Quote by Lyndon B. Johnson

Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose. — © Lyndon B. Johnson
Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.
If God gave it to me," we say "it's mine. I can do what I want with it." No. The truth is that it is ours to thank Him for and ours to offer back to Him, ours to relinquish, ours to lose, ours to let go of - if we want to find our true selves, if we want real Life, if our hearts are set on glory.
If we hold tightly to anything given to us unwilling to allow it to be used as the Giver means it to be used we stunt the growth of the soul. What God gives us is not necessarily "ours" but only ours to offer back to him, ours to relinguish, ours to lose, ours to let go of, if we want to be our true selves. Many deaths must go into reaching our maturity in Christ, many letting goes.
Much as we wish, not one of us can bring back yesterday or shape tomorrow. Only today is ours, and it will not be ours for long, and once it is gone it will never in all time be ours again. Thou only knowest what it holds in store for us, yet even we know something of what it will hold. The chance to speak the truth, to show mercy, to ease another’s burden. The chance to resist evil, to remember all the good times and good people of our past, to be brave, to be strong, to be glad.
We yield to none in our love, admiration and respect for the Buddha-the Dharma-the Sangha. They are all ours. Their glories are ours and ours their failures.
Kashmir is ours, Kashmiris are ours, and Kashmiriyat is also ours.
I do hope there are other wonderful planets living and thriving out there, but ours is special because it is ours and ours to take care of. We really can't take that too lightly.
We must act as if our institutions are ours to create, our learning is ours to define, our leadership we seek is ours to become.
One reason I won't compromise is because I believe honesty helps you win over the long haul. You can win a game tomorrow and lose a team. You can lose a game tomorrow and win a football team.
Ours is a stable country. Ours is a sensible country. And ours is a fundamentally decent country.
U2 is an original species... there are colours and feelings and emotional terrain that we occupy that is ours and ours alone.
The satisfaction of life May not be ours, But the beauty of hope Is all ours.
Yesterday is yesterday. If we try to recapture it, we will only lose tomorrow.
Ours is not to wonder why. Ours is just to do or die.
Ours is a just cause; victory will be ours!
God will never adjust His agenda to fit ours. He will not speed up His pace to catch up with ours; we need to slow our pace in order to recover our walk with Him. God will not scream and shout over the noisy clamor; He expects us to seek quietness, where His still small voice can be heard again.
The fields and the flowers and the beautiful faces are not ours, as the stars and the hills and the sunlight are not ours, but they give us fresh and happy thoughts.
