good quote about forgetting your past?

my boyfriend wants to get a tattoo that says some kind of quote (not too long) about forgetting your past. His mom is an alcoholic and he had a really bad childhood so he wants something to kind of represent that...any suggestions?? also possibly something that has to do with strength

    We don't know what strong is until being strong is all we have.

    I will walk forever with no fear, because I have learned to face the tears.

    Just smile. It's your strength.

    Out of despair, disappointment, and pain comes determination, self love and the strength to stand in your own truth, doing your best and ignoring the judgment.

    I am loved; I am content; I am proud; I am secure; I am adored; I am appreciated; I am confident; I am independent; I am me and I am strong.

    Obstacles are put in your way so that you can discover the magnitude of the strength you possess

    What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

    Nothing ahead of you is bigger or stronger than the power of God behind you.

    Where our strength runs out, God's strength begins.

    I don't know how short you're technically wanting, but I tried to find a few shortish ones haha.
