“Do not despair, my friend. Today is theirs, but the future is ours”

“I cannot forgive my friends for dying; I do not find these vanishing acts of theirs at all amusing.”

“We cannot build our own future without helping others to build theirs.”

“And what have I to give my friends in the last resort?
An awkwardness, a shyness, and a scrap,
No thing that's truly me, a bootless waste,
A waste of myself and them, for my life is mine
And theirs presumably theirs, and cannot touch.”

“The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine.”

“What we must not do is surrender to despair and hopelessness and the cynical assumption that there is nothing we can do. What we must do is turn our anger and outrage into a positive force for reforms that can help prevent future tragedies.”

“I don't know any more than you what the future will hold. But my point of view is different. You see despair and I see cause for hope. I read the future in a way that is more agreeable than you do.”

“My heart has joined the Thousand, for my friend stopped running today.”

“Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of death
Rode the six hundred.”

“FUTURE, n.
That period of time in which our affairs prosper, our friends are true and our happiness is assured.”
