Famous quotes containing the word future:

    Give me insight into today and you may have the antique and future worlds.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The more we shelter children from every disappointment, the more devastating future disappointments will be.
    Fred G. Gosman (20th century)

    [M]y conception of liberty does not permit an individual citizen or a group of citizens to commit acts of depredation against nature in such a way as to harm their neighbors and especially to harm the future generations of Americans. If many years ago we had had the necessary knowledge, and especially the necessary willingness on the part of the Federal Government, we would have saved a sum, a sum of money which has cost the taxpayers of America two billion dollars.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
