Dave Grohl Quotes

I don't want to spend too much time dwelling on what I've already done because there is still so much to do.

Don't live in the past. There's no point. You can't change anything. What a waste of time.

I really don't think in the past. I sit down with many friends at dinner, and they like to talk about the good old days. I'm respectful of the good old days, but I find myself spending very little time reminiscing. I'm really looking forward.

One of the things you learn in football is that you're only as good as your last outing. I don't like to reflect on what we've done in the past. I'm not a very good storyteller, for one thing. I'd disappoint you. When it's time, I'll talk about the good old days. But it's a sign of old age, reveling in the past.

I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what's next.

Chasing after the past is not going to lead you to the future you want.

You can't sit back, rest on laurels and think about the past - what the journey has been.

There ain't no future in the past.

The future starts today, not tomorrow.

The road to recovery will not always be easy, but I will take it one day at a time, focusing on the moments I've dreamed about for so long.

Any action is often better than no action, especially if you have been stuck in an unhappy situation for a long time. If it is a mistake, at least you learn something, in which case it's no longer a mistake. If you remain stuck, you learn nothing.

I don't like looking back. I'm always constantly looking forward. I'm not the one to sort of sit and cry over spilt milk. I'm too busy looking for the next cow.

I now have a plan - I haven't had a plan up until this year.

Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

There is no longer time for statements like 'if only' or 'we can't.' We must and we will succeed. The only question now is how and when. I believe the time is now.

If you've got an idea, start today. There's no better time than now to get going. That doesn't mean quit your job and jump into your idea 100% from day one, but there's always small progress that can be made to start the movement.

I don't ever think about the roads I didn't take because I spend too much time thinking what's ahead. I don't go backwards.

You can't have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time.

Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead, that is where your future lies.

Never look backwards or you'll fall down the stairs.

Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.

The good old days are now.

We just have to go to that next class, read that next chapter, help that next person. You simply have to do that next good thing, and before you know it, you're living a good life.

The past is but the past of a beginning.

People say, oh it's a shame, you're not nostalgic about the '60s. Well actually, it's quite good, when you think of it. Wouldn't it be sad if I was sitting here wishing it back?
