3 December 2020 Mark Zandi The discussion in Washington has changed dramatically. I mean, it’s no longer a question of should we address entitlements – it’s no longer a question of do we need to reduce spending in the future.
3 December 2020 David Attenborough People talk about doom-laden scenarios happening in the future: they are happening in Africa now. You can see it perfectly clearly. Periodic famines are due to too many people living on land that can’t sustain them.
3 December 2020 Ron Paul Deficits mean future tax increases, pure and simple. Deficit spending should be viewed as a tax on future generations, and politicians who create deficits should be exposed as tax hikers.
3 December 2020 Lou Reed I think life is far too short to concentrate on your past. I rather look into the future.
3 December 2020 George Orwell If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever.

3 December 2020 Susan Sontag I do not think white America is committed to granting equality to the American Negro. This is a passionately racist country it will continue to be so in the foreseeable future.

3 December 2020 Karl Lagerfeld I like today and perhaps a little future still, but the past is really something I’m not interested in. So, as far as I’m concerned, I like only the past of things and people I don’t know. When I know, I don’t care because I knew how it was.
3 December 2020 Mark Victor Hansen You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands – your own.
