How paramount the future is to the present when one is surrounded by children.

I know I'm going to blow one day. My life is doomed the way it is. I have no future.

School is practice for future life practice makes perfect and nobody's perfect so why practice?

The worst thing that can happen in a democracy - as well as in an individual's life - is to become cynical about the future and lose hope.

Internationally President Obama has adopted an appeasement strategy. He believes America's role as leader in the world is a thing of the past. I believe a strong America must - and will - lead the future.

The American people I talk to don't spend every moment thinking 'How can I tax my neighbor more than they're being taxed?' They say 'How can I get a good job? How can my kids get good jobs? How can seniors have a confidence in their future when they know that Social Security Medicare and Medicaid are bankrupt?'

Instead of just giving lip service to improving our schools I will actually put the kids first and the teachers union behind in giving our kids better teachers better options and better choices for a better future.

Neither 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.

The essence of statesmanship is not a rigid adherence to the past but a prudent and probing concern for the future.

I tell you the past is a bucket of ashes so live not in your yesterdays no just for tomorrow but in the here and now. Keep moving and forget the post mortems and remember no one can get the jump on the future.

Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future.

I think the teaching profession contributes more to the future of our society than any other single profession.

We should regret our mistakes and learn from them but never carry them forward into the future with us.

I try to learn from the past but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That's were the fun is.

A liberal is a man or a woman or a child who looks forward to a better day a more tranquil night and a bright infinite future.

I know why I am here and my only real focused goal is to live each day to the fullest and to try and honor God and be an encouragement to others. What the future holds is firmly in God's hands and I am very happy about that!

America is false to the past false to the present and solemnly binds herself to be false to the future.

I was a peripheral visionary. I could see the future but only way off to the side.

Our combat mission is ending but our commitment to Iraq's future is not.

It is said that the present is pregnant with the future.

Not only our future economic soundness but the very soundness of our democratic institutions depends on the determination of our government to give employment to idle men.

As I've said there were patriots who supported this war and patriots who opposed it. And all of us are united in appreciation for our servicemen and women and our hopes for Iraqis' future.

Here is the rule to remember in the future When anything tempts you to be bitter: not 'This is a misfortune' but 'To bear this worthily is good fortune.'

When I look into the future it's so bright it burns my eyes.
