I said peace is sometimes narrowly interpreted it's the absence of conflict between nations or something. But peace is more inherent more basic to human life human beings what we feel about each other what we feel about life around us and what we see in our future.

We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can learn what we can improve the solutions and pass them on.

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.

People always ask me 'What is it that you regret?' And I say 'nothing because I could not buy what I've learned.' And I apply those things to my life I learn. And hopefully hopefully it helps me to be a better human in the future and make better choices.

The mind is never satisfied with the objects immediately before it but is always breaking away from the present moment and losing itself in schemes of future felicity... The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure but from hope to hope.

Humanity has the stars in its future and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition.

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

We must welcome the future remembering that soon it will be the past and we must respect the past remembering that it was once all that was humanly possible.

It is not enough to understand or to see clearly. The future will be shaped in the arena of human activity by those willing to commit their minds and their bodies to the task.

Our human compassion binds us the one to the other - not in pity or patronizingly but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future.
