Amid the vastness of the things among which we live, the existence of nothingness holds the first place; its function extends over all things that have no existence, and its essence, as regards time, lies precisely between the past and the future, and has nothing in the present.

I cannot but think we have much to be thankful for, and more still to hope for in the future.

Have no fear of the future. Let us go forward into its mysteries, tear away the veils which hide it from our eyes, and move onwards with confidence and courage.

A bright future beckons. The onus is on us, through hard work, honesty and integrity, to reach for the stars.

Our children are our greatest treasure. They are our future. Those who abuse them tear at the fabric of our society and weaken our nation.

I could not imagine that the future I was walking toward could compare in any way to the past that I was leaving behind.
