What is past is prologue
Study the past, if you would divine the future
One's past is what one is. It is the only way by which people should be judged
No man is rich enough to buy back his past
For old, unhappy, far-off things,
And battles long ago.

The Solitary Reaper
The thought of our past years in me doth breed
Perpetual benediction.

Intimations of Immortality
Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again.
