Barack ObamaLos Angeles gives one the feeling of the future more strongly than any city I know of. A bad future too like something out of Fritz Lang's feeble imagination.

You have to trust in something - your gut destiny life karma whatever. This approach has never let me down and it has made all the difference in my life.
Steve JobsMy future daughter is not going to go through what I did.
Christina AguileraTo act is to anchor in an imminent future so imminent it becomes almost tangible, to act is to feel you are consubstantial with that future.

Earl NightingaleThere is not any present moment that is unconnected with some future one. The life of every man is a continued chain of incidents each link of which hangs upon the former. The transition from cause to effect from event to event is often carried on by secret steps which our foresight cannot divine and our sagacity is unable to trace. Evil may at some future period bring forth good, and good may bring forth evil both equally unexpected.
Joseph AddisonWho controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.
George OrwellThere are necessary evils. Money is an important thing in terms of representing freedom in our world. And now I have a daughter to think about. It's really the first time I've thought about the future and what it could be.
Johnny DeppOur combat mission is ending, but our commitment to Iraq's future is not.

Lady GagaThe best of prophets of the future is the past

Barack ObamaWe have a close unshakable bond between the United States and Israel and between the American and Israeli people. We share common values and a commitment to a democratic future for the world and we are both committed to a two-state solution. But that doesn't mean that we're going to agree.
Hillary ClintonThe American people I talk to don't spend every moment thinking 'How can I tax my neighbor more than they're being taxed?' They say 'How can I get a good job? How can my kids get good jobs? How can seniors have a confidence in their future when they know that Social Security Medicare and Medicaid are bankrupt?'
Mitt RomneyWhen the people become involved in their government government becomes more accountable and our society is stronger more compassionate and better prepared for the challenges of the future.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerIf you can look into the seeds of time and say which grain will grow and which will not, speak then unto me.
William ShakespeareOn every front there are clear answers out there that can make this country stronger but we're going to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling. Our job is to make sure that even as we make progress that we are also giving people a sense of hope and vision for the future.
Barack ObamaA man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal or it may be a worldly object according to his nature at the time being, but whichever it is he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which he has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty and should devote himself to its attainment not allowing his thoughts to wander away into ephemeral fancies longings and imaginings. This is the royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must until weakness is overcome) the strength of character gained will be the measure of his true success and this will form a new starting point for future power and triumph.
James Allen
