Ask not of things to shed their veils. Unveil yourselves, and things will be unveiled.

Mikhail Naimy

Few can be induced to labor exclusively for posterity; and none will do it enthusiastically. Posterity has done nothing for us; and theorize on it as we may, practically we shall do very little for it, unless we are made to think we are at the same time doing something for ourselves.

Abraham Lincoln

Men of genius are not to be analysed by commonplace rules. The rest of us who have been or are leaders, more commonplace in our quality, will do well to remember two things. One is never to forget posterity when devising a policy. The other is never to think of posterity when making a speech.

Robert Menzies

Sir, very few people reach posterity. Who amongst us may arrive at that destination I presume not to vaticinate. Posterity is a most limited assembly. Those gentlemen who reach posterity are not much more numerous than the planets.

Benjamin Disraeli

He becomes your Teacher. Jesus said when the Spirit of truth comes, He shall teach you all things. He didn't say 'some things,' but ALL THINGS. Glory to God! Anything in this life, anything about life, anything about God, ANYTHING at all, the Holy Ghost can teach you if you will ask or let Him. He will open up the Word of God to you and unveil the realities of God to you. He will be your Teacher. He will let you know what to do. When the Holy Ghost takes over your life, you will be different.

Chris Oyakhilome

We cannot defer this responsibility to posterity. Time will not wait.

Walter Cronkite

Posterity will know as little of me as I know of posterity.

W. S. Gilbert

Time will discover everything to posterity; it is a babbler, and speaks even when no question is put.

Euripides

It is pleasant to observe how free the present age is in laying taxes on the next. "Future ages shall talk of this; they shall be famous to all posterity;" whereas their time and thoughts will be taken up about present things, as ours are now.

Jonathan Swift

In Europe we have cities wealthier and more populous than yours and we are not happy. You dream of your posterity; but your posterity will look back to yours as the golden age, and envy those who first burst into this silent, splendid Nature.

James Bryce

You are writing for your contemporaries - not for Posterity. If you are lucky, your contemporaries will become Posterity.

Joyce Carol Oates

Few can be induced to labor exclusively for posterity - Posterity has done nothing for us

Abraham Lincoln

Why should I care about posterity? What's posterity ever done for me?

Groucho Marx

I am moved by the desire to see and to be seen, to grow and to unveil the mysteries of life and, at the same time, by the aspiration that life will continue to reveal new mysteries and new possibilities.
