Quotes about Past by Pope John Paul Ii

  • In the past, it was possible to destroy a village, a town, a region, even a country. Now it is the whole planet that has come under threat. This fact should compel everyone to face a basic moral consideration; from now on, it is only through a conscious choice and then deliberate policy that humanity will survive.
  • Let us remember the past with gratitude, live the present with enthusiasm, and look forward to the future with confidence.
  • War should belong to the tragic past, to history: it should find no place on humanity's agenda for the future.
