"We crucify ourselves between two thieves: regret for yesterday and fear of tomorrow"

- Fulton Oursler

About this Quote

This quote by Fulton Oursler speaks with the concept that we frequently discover ourselves stuck between two unfavorable emotions: remorse for the past and worry of the future. We can end up being so focused on our past mistakes and failures that we become overwhelmed with remorse, therefore focused on the capacity for future failure that we end up being maimed by fear. This can lead to a feeling of being stuck in a cycle of negative emotions, unable to move on. Oursler's quote encourages us to acknowledge this cycle and to break devoid of it. We can learn from our past mistakes and use them to inform our choices, but we must not be held back by them. Similarly, we ought to not let fear of the future avoid us from taking dangers and pursuing our objectives. By recognizing and breaking free from this cycle, we can move on and make the most of our lives.
