Future

I look forward to a great future for America - a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose.

To state the facts frankly is not to despair the future nor indict the past. The prudent heir takes careful inventory of his legacies and gives a faithful accounting to those whom he owes an obligation of trust.

History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.

For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.

We are not here to curse the darkness, but to light the candle that can guide us thru that darkness to a safe and sane future.

Take time to gather up the past so that you will be able to draw from your experience and invest them in the future.

Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.

I had no future with the Dodgers, because I was too closely identified with Branch Rickey. After the club was taken over by Walter O'Malley, you couldn't even mention Mr. Rickey's name in front of him. I considered Mr. Rickey the greatest human being I had ever known.

The atomic bomb made the prospect of future war unendurable. It has led us up those last few steps to the mountain pass; and beyond there is a different country.

Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.

Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present.

I touch the future. I teach.

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

By refocusing our space program on Mars for America's future, we can restore the sense of wonder and adventure in space exploration that we knew in the summer of 1969. We won the moon race; now it's time for us to live and work on Mars, first on its moons and then on its surface.

Modern science says: 'The sun is the past, the earth is the present, the moon is the future.' From an incandescent mass we have originated, and into a frozen mass we shall turn. Merciless is the law of nature, and rapidly and irresistibly we are drawn to our doom.

The danger of the past was that men became slaves. The danger of the future is that men may become robots.

Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.

Depression is the inability to construct a future.

Republicans are men of narrow vision, who are afraid of the future.

Let 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.
