“Always remember that the future comes one day at a time.”

“The future always looks good in the golden land, because no one remembers the past.”

“Time only moves in one direction. Remember that. Things always change.”

“It's hard to remember that this day will never come again. That the time is now and the place is here and that there are no second chances at a single moment.”

“I remember, no matter how impossible it seemed that any given day would end, it always did. This one would, too.”

“Work is the order of the day, just as it was at one time, with our first starts and our best efforts. Do you remember? Therein lies its delight. It brings back the forgotten; one’s stores of energy, seemingly exhausted, come back to life.”

“time past and time future
what might have been and what has been
point to one end, which is always present.”

“The future always comes too fast and in the wrong order.”

“And on this terrible day of mourning, it's hard to imagine that a time will come when life at Virginia Tech will return to normal. But such a day will come. And when it does, you will always remember the friends and teachers who were lost yesterday, and the time you shared with them, and the lives they hoped to lead. May God bless you. May God bless and keep the souls of the lost. And may His love touch all those who suffer and grieve.”

“When the dark days come - and they will - try and remember this: it will pass,it will definitely pass.”
