“The principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale”

“As this poster makes abundantly clear, we've already consumed about half of the world's total endowment of regular conventional oil. This has provided most supply to-date and will dominate all supply far into the future. We are now entering the second half of the Oil Age, and face the relentless decline of production, imposed by nature.”
Colin Campbell
“It blew my mind, ... There were two girls who acted out the poster of the movie. They had a little red sofa by the side of the road. One was dressed up in a black suit like Orlando with a black wig and an urn. And the other was Kirsten with the champagne glass and her legs crossed; it was so sweet. I was truly in shock.”
Cameron Crowe
“Then there came after them an evil posterity who inherited the Book, taking only the frail good of this low life and saying: It will be forgiven us. And if the like good came to them, they would take it (too). Was not a promise taken from them in the Book that they would not speak anything about Allah but the truth, and they have read what is in it; and the abode of the hereafter is better for those who guard (against evil). Do you not then understand? / And (as for) those who hold fast by the Book and keep up prayer, surely We do not waste the reward of the right doers.”
quran
“Surely your enemy is the one who shall be without posterity, / Say: O unbelievers! / I do not serve that which you serve, / Nor do you serve Him Whom I serve: / Nor am I going to serve that which you serve, / Nor are you going to serve Him Whom I serve: / You shall have your religion and I shall have my religion.”

Ross King
“The decision of the board will be an unpopular one in some sectors of the community. Posterity will judge us harshly if we consider quick fixes.”
Mpumelelo Tshume
“Passing out flyers at a shopping mall or hoping somebody sees a poster doesn't get through to today's jaded, image-bombarded, media-savvy young consumer. Street marketing is practically an old strategy now, so the stakes are much higher when it comes to getting your message across.”
Ron Vos
“A mule has neither pride of ancestry nor hope of posterity”
