Foreseeing The Future Quotes

1. "The secret message communicated to most young people today by the society around them is that they are not needed, that the society will run itself quite nicely until they - at some distant point in the future - will take over the reigns.

If we are good at waiting, we discover that what we wanted of the future, in our impatience, is no longer what we want, that waiting has brought wisdom. I have become good at waiting, as I wait to see what action or sacrifice is wanted of me, wait to discover where I must go next, and wait for the day when the fortuneteller's promise will be fulfilled. Hope, love, and faith are in the waiting."

She keeps herself to herself and smiles rarely, as if the weight of memory keeps her from finding joy.Or that's a lie.

Good wine is drunk. The only tears shed are happy ones."
