“While I take inspiration from the past, like most Americans, I live for the future.”
“If I did not simply live from one moment to another, it would be impossible for me to be patient, but I only look at the present, I forget the past, and I take good care not to forestall the future.”
“I take responsibility only for the future, not the past. The past can't hurt you the way the future can.”
“I predict future happiness for Americans, if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”
“I was born an American, I live like an American, I will die an American.”
“Im afraid to live in the future because of my past yet i dwell in the past and look forward to change in the future”
