Heinrich Hoffman
“You can't look forward and backward at the same time.”
Coleman Young
“Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: / On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him: / But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.”
