“Museums hold collections in trust for future generations. It is our responsibility to see that these objects—representing the cultural heritage of more than 8,000 years of civilization—are passed on to the next generation . . . .

What is important is that future observers have at their disposal the records of what was known or believed at the time.”

“What is it about a future time perspective that is so beneficial? Researchers believe that people who can project themselves into the future are more optimistic, have a stronger sense of purpose, and are able to press past petty disappointments.

As in the study of college students, they feel more engaged in what they're doing because they see where it's leading them.”

“Keep your eyes on the future, because that's where the answers are. It's where the hope is.”
