“Children—their untroubled, idyllic vision of the future is almost always shattered. Sooner or later they learn what all youth must—that life is the cruel fate that awaits them while they make plans for a tomorrow that will never be.”
“The future is not in the hands of fate, but in ours.”
“Every man is the craftsman of his future, whether he hone it himself or allow fate do it.”
“Within the child lies the fate of the future.”
“It was never too late to learn something. The past is unalterable in any event. The future is the only thing we can change. Learning the lessons of the past is the only way to shape the present and the future.”
