The future will belong to those who have passion and are willing to work hard to make our country better.

I think the future also will not belong to those who are cynical or those who stand on the sidelines.

A globalized world is by now a familiar fact of life. Building walls or moats may sound appealing but the future belongs to those who tend to their people and then boldly engage the rest of the world near and far.

I'm sure that there are reasonable people that had some reasonable projections about the future of New Orleans but none of those could include not trying to rebuild the city and make it better than it was before.

I hate those e-books. They cannot be the future. They may well be.

An author is a fool who not content with boring those he lives with insists on boring future generations.

After the Berlin Wall came down I visited that city and I will never forget it. The abandoned checkpoints. The sense of excitement about the future. The knowledge that a great continent was coming together. Healing those wounds of our history is the central story of the European Union.

I hate those e-books. They can not be the future... they may well be... I will be dead.

The perennial conviction that those who work hard and play by the rules will be rewarded with a more comfortable present and a stronger future for their children faces assault from just about every direction. That great enemy of democratic capitalism economic inequality is real and growing.
