Pastoral Resources

Asean is obviously a very important association for us. Over the past 30 years Asean has made great strides in regional cooperation covering a number of areas, although recently it has been under strain because of the financial crisis and other challenges.

History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.

Bobby and I have been to various reunions of Our Gang. We've been to like three or four reunions over the past 15 years or so. We were at one in Palm Springs, California.

In the past goodness was always a collective experience. Then goodness became privatised.

The Cosby years were a major part of my life, but it is the past; I don't really concentrate on it.

Hurricane Katrina this past week was certainly the worst episode in what has become an all-too-familiar and tragic cycle, and our nation is now faced with a set of unprecedented challenges.

Rock 'n' roll is ridiculous. It's absurd. In the past, U2 was trying to duck that. Now we're wrapping our arms around it and giving it a great big kiss.

Memories are the key not to the past, but to the future.

The fact is that all writers create their precursors. Their work modifies our conception of the past, just as it is bound to modify the future.

Nevertheless, the number of farmers, small as well as large, who are adopting the new seeds and new technology is increasing very rapidly, and the increase in numbers during the past three years has been phenomenal.

Man can and must prevent the tragedy of famine in the future instead of merely trying with pious regret to salvage the human wreckage of the famine, as he has so often done in the past.

During the past three years spectacular progress has been made in increasing wheat, rice, and maize production in several of the most populous developing countries of southern Asia, where widespread famine appeared inevitable only five years ago.

I have been wounded like this since about half past eight this morning and I will tell you how it happened.

The beauty of the past belongs to the past.

We make way for the man who boldly pushes past us.

With so many of our fundamental rights hanging in the balance, it is not good enough to simply roll the dice, hoping a nominee has changed his past views. It's not good enough to think, 'This is the best we can expect from this president'.

It's not highly intellectual material. I'm dedicating it to the pulp fiction of the past.

Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future.

Speaks cheerful English and in the past has written this language with a paintbrush that talks.

Everything tends to make us believe that there exists a certain point of the mind at which life and death, the real and the imagined, past and future, the communicable and the incommunicable, high and low, cease to be perceived as contradictions.
