Every great work of art has two faces, one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity.

Some of the best lessons we ever learn are learned from past mistakes. The error of the past is the wisdom and success of the future.

Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now.

Education is not only a ladder of opportunity, but it is also an investment in our future.

Your past is not your potential. In any hour you can choose to liberate the future.

We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.

The past is really almost as much a work of the imagination as the future.
