While I take inspiration from the past like most Americans I live for the future.

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.

If you want a vision of the future imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.

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.

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

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.

Once I knew only darkness and stillness... my life was without past or future... but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness and my heart leaped to the rapture of living.

The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour whatever he does whoever he is.

Some mischievous people always there. Last several thousand years always there. In future also.

Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible.
