America, which has the most glorious present still existing in the world today, hardly stops to enjoy it, in her insatiable appetite for the future. – Anne Morrow Lindbergh

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. – John F. Kennedy

Of present fame think little, and of future less the praises that we receive after we are buried, like the flowers that are strewed over our grave, may be gratifying to the living, but they are nothing to the dead. – Charles Caleb Colton
