No valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.

One of the interesting things here is that the people who should be shaping the future are politicians. But the political framework itself is so dead and closed that people look to other sources, like artists, because art and music allow people a certain freedom.

My goal is more to be remembered. They'll remember this thing and like it in the future. The trick is to stay remembered long enough for that to happen.

You know, nothing is more important than education, because nowhere are our stakes higher our future depends on the quality of education of our children today.

Whoso neglects learning in his youth, loses the past and is dead for the future.

Whoever neglects the arts when he is young has lost the past and is dead to the future.

Democrats think the country works better with a strong middle class, real opportunities for poor people to work their way into it and a relentless focus on the future, with business and government working together to promote growth and broadly shared prosperity. We think 'we're all in this together' is a better philosophy than 'you're on your own.'

The human brain now holds the key to our future. We have to recall the image of the planet from outer space: a single entity in which air, water, and continents are interconnected. That is our home.

The future is like heaven, everyone exalts it, but no one wants to go there now.

Since God knows our future, our personalities, and our capacity to listen, He isn't ever going to say more to us than we can deal with at the moment.
