Quote

As life has a way of unfolding as it is meant to, I have learned to trust life.

Our trust in the future has lost its innocence. We know now that anything can happen from one minute to the next. Politics, religion, economics, and the institutions of family and community all have become abruptly unsure.

Trust has to be earned, and should come only after the passage of time.

We have to keep an eye on the future with a sense of the past in every passing moment of the present.

Times and conditions change so rapidly that we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future.

But before looking to the future, let's glance back at the road we've traveled these past two years because that is the source of much of the optimism we are all feeling about the future.

For every minute, the future is becoming the past.

I think I'm seen as trustworthy. I'm seen as having determination and persistence, and I'm seen as having a capacity to reach achievable answers to difficult issues.

We do not ask the right questions when we are young, so we miss the important answers. Now it is too late to ask, too late for the illuminating answers, and the unanswered questions haunt us for a lifetime.
