Future
(page 4)
The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.
Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay.
The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.
My colleagues and I have gone in the footsteps of our predecessors since the very first day we were called by our people to care for their future. We went any place, we looked for any avenue, we made any effort to bring about negotiations between Israel and its neighbors, negotiations without which peace remains an abstract desire.
Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.
We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.
See, when you drive home today, you've got a big windshield on the front of your car. And you've got a little bitty rearview mirror. And the reason the windshield is so large and the rearview mirror is so small is because what's happened in your past is not near as important as what's in your future.
No dream is too big. No challenge is too great. Nothing we want for our future is beyond our reach.
The influence of teachers extends beyond the classroom, well into the future. It is they who shape and enrich the minds of the young, who touch their hearts and souls. It is they who shape a nation's future.
Even though the future seems far away, it is actually beginning right now.
Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead, that is where your future lies.
No other investment yields as great a return as the investment in education. An educated workforce is the foundation of every community and the future of every economy.
Forget the past — the future will give you plenty to worry about.
People who wish to go into the future should have two skills to succeed — the ability to deal with people and the ability to sell.
When all else is lost, the future still remains.
We must welcome the future, remembering that soon it will be the past; and we must respect the past, remembering that it was once all that was humanly possible.
What matters is to live in the present, live now, for every moment is now. It is your thoughts and acts of the moment that create your future. The outline of your future path already exists, for you created its pattern by your past.
Voting is our right, but it is also our responsibility because if we don't take the next step and elect leaders who are committed to building a better future for our kids, other rights — our rights to clean air, clean water, health, and prosperity — are placed directly in harm's way.
Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.
We've gone from, in the '50s and '60s, being very optimistic about the future, where the future is all spaceships and The Jetsons and flying cars, to where we were just sure the future was going to be a massive pile of rubble.
