Famous quotes containing the word future:
“As a child is indulged or checked in its early follies, a ground is generally laid for the happiness or misery of the future man.”

“Where have those flowers and butterflies all gone
That science may have staked the future on?

Should come to nothing must be fairly faced.....”

“Peace does not appear so distant as it did. I hope it will come soon, and come to stay; and so come as to be worth the keeping in all future time. It will then have been proved that, among free men, there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet; and that they who take such appeal are sure to lose their case, and pay the cost.”
