58 Best Forward Quotes That Will Keep You Ahead Of The Pack

Forward

Have you heard of the motto ‘Forward ever, backward never'? A short and straight-to-the-point saying. It simply reminds you that going backward is not an option but moving ahead is your only way, always.

The past will always call. Sometimes in whispers with some amazingly good nostalgic moments. Sometimes it shouts at us with the terribly bad times that we'd wish to forget. What we do when the past calls is our choice. Whether we want to listen or shut it out.

It's not always bad to think of things that have happened before. After all, that's still a part of us. Some things make us feel good, uplift our moods, and give us hope that things can turn out better than they currently are.

Others have the lessons we were meant to learn, which we need to use in our present and future. It only gets out of hand when the past becomes that frequent visitor who never wants to leave. Instead of saying hello and passing by, they want to take off their shoes and make themselves at home.

But that's your past. Moving backward takes away the chances you should take to move forward. You can never move on with your life if you keep reliving your past. You are only denying yourself what tomorrow has in store for you.

Give your today and tomorrow a chance. Set yourself free from the chains of your past. Stop taking two steps backward after taking one forward. This is only limiting your success and keeping you stuck.

To move forward, you must be determined and ready to let go of some things. Remember, not everyone and everything is supposed to be in your future. Our ‘forward quotes' will help to put you on your path to move ahead and avoid going backward. Read along.

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit. Success is failure turned inside out- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far, So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit- It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out-
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit-
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
