"The past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it." is preserved here as a credited line from Rafiki in The Lion King (1994), not as an anonymous standalone saying. The combination of animation and drama storytelling and Robert Guillaume's performance is part of what gives the line its staying power, which is why this detail page keeps the movie, character, and actor together in the same context.
