“Children have neither a past nor a future. Thus they enjoy the present...” — Jean de la Bruyere Quote

“Children have neither a past nor a future. Thus they enjoy the present, which seldom happens to us.”

“Making a book is a craft, like making a clock; it needs more than native wit to be an author.”

“When a book raises your spirit, and inspires you with noble and manly thoughts, seek for no other test of its excellence. It is good, and made by a good workman.”

“Keep all special thoughts and memories for lifetimes to come. Share these keepsakes with others to inspire hope and build from the past, which can bridge to the future.”

“If you deliver excellence right now, that gives you the best shot at the best future you've got coming.”

“People who own property feel a sense of ownership in their future and their society. They study, save, work, strive and vote. And people trapped in a culture of tenancy do not.”
