Helen KellerThe idea of going to school and getting a job is the most destructive one in your brain.
Robert KiyosakiThis is not a showman’s job. I will not step out of character.
Herbert HooverLove begins at home, and it is not how much we do… but how much love we put in that action.
Mother TeresaSome day, following the example of the United States of America, there will be a United States of Europe.
George WashingtonAmerica is not nearly done. We’re only in the beginning. Who knows who we will be? Who knows… what color we will be? It is all something that, maybe, our descendants – if they survive that long – will see.
Alice WalkerFlying cars are not a very efficient way to move things from one point to another.
Bill GatesLet us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.
John F. KennedyWe have the power to make this the best generation of mankind in the history of the world or to make it the last.
John F. KennedyWe can fear things into existence. Fear looks into the future and imagines the worst that can happen.

Noam ChomskyTherefore I am sure that this, my Coronation, is not the symbol of a power and a splendor that are gone but a declaration of our hopes for the future, and for the years I may, by God’s Grace and Mercy, be given to reign and serve you as your Queen.
Queen Elizabeth IIIf we can but prevent the government from wasting the labours of the people, under the pretence of taking care of them, they must become happy.
Thomas JeffersonThe mind is never satisfied with the objects immediately before it, but is always breaking away from the present moment, and losing itself in schemes of future felicity… The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope.
Samuel JohnsonAs we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.
Bill GatesTomorrow belongs to those who can hear it coming.
David BowieIn this knowledge-worker age, it’s now increasingly tied to doing well in school so you can get into better grad schools so you can get better jobs – so the pressure to do well is really high.
Stephen CoveyThe future doesn’t belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave.
Ronald ReaganYes, we’ve still got more work to do. More work to do for every American still in need of a good job or a raise, paid leave or a decent retirement; for every child who needs a sturdier ladder out of poverty or a world-class education; for everyone who has not yet felt the progress of these past seven and a half years.
Barack ObamaIt is not possible for civilization to flow backwards while there is youth in the world. Youth may be headstrong, but it will advance it allotted length.
Helen KellerSome mischievous people always there. Last several thousand years, always there. In future, also.
Dalai LamaDread, which is closely related to fear, steals the ability to enjoy ordinary life and makes people anxious about the future. It keeps them from looking forward to the next day, the next month, or the next decade.
Joyce MeyerEven the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
Mother TeresaI’m not really concerned with portraying this tough warrior – I mean, that’s part of my job and I take that very seriously. But I don’t have anything to hide, and I’m not concerned with what people think.
Tom BradyThe most interesting thing about a postage stamp is the persistence with which it sticks to its job.
Napoleon HillYou can always cope with the present moment, but you cannot cope with something that is only a mind projection – you cannot cope with the future.
Eckhart TolleWhen his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, ‚Why god? Why me?‘ and the thundering voice of God answered, ‚There’s just something about you that pisses me off.‘
Stephen KingI always knew who I was, and I always ran from my true purpose… I know what my job is. And I always ran from it.
Kevin GatesLet us sacrifice our today so that our children can have a better tomorrow.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamYou can choose a future where more Americans have the chance to gain the skills they need to compete, no matter how old they are or how much money they have. Education was the gateway to opportunity for me. It was the gateway for Michelle. And now more than ever, it is the gateway to a middle-class life.
Barack ObamaWhat I’m asking for is hard. It’s easier to be cynical; to accept that change isn’t possible, and politics is hopeless, and to believe that our voices and actions don’t matter. But if we give up now, then we forsake a better future.
Barack ObamaI desire no future that will break the ties with the past.
George EliotThe absolute transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will take place within 10 years, and nothing is going to be able to stop it. I see absolutely no point in pretending that it’s not going to happen. I’m fully confident that copyright, for instance, will no longer exist in 10 years.
David BowieGod has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.

Most of us, as we grow older, become frightened; we are afraid of living, afraid of losing a job, afraid of tradition, afraid of what the neighbours, or what the wife or husband would say, afraid of death.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiThe secret to film is that it’s an illusion.
George LucasEarly on, when I was quite young and going from job to job, I was foolish enough to sometimes speak to my fellow workers: ‚Hey, the boss can come in here at any moment and lay all of us off, just like that, don’t you realize that?‘ They would just look at me. I was posing something that they didn’t want to enter their minds.
Charles BukowskiNeither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.
Dwight D. EisenhowerWhen you go to war as a boy, you have a great illusion of immortality. Other people get killed, not you… Then, when you are badly wounded the first time, you lose that illusion, and you know it can happen to you.
Ernest HemingwayStudy the past, if you would divine the future.
ConfuciusHe didn’t come out of my belly, but my God, I’ve made his bones, because I’ve attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I’m so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.
John Lennon‚Tis not enough to help the feeble up, but to support them after.
