I want us to focus on the future, not the past; on doing things that help everybody, not just a few people; and on promoting unity, not division.

I want every American to have a chance to be a part of our future.

If we can keep America ahead of the curves and live together as one country, the best days of this country are still out there.

If we think about the future instead of the past, and change and not the status quo, and unity instead of division, and what helps everybody instead of what helps a few people, we are highly likely to make the right decision.

The future of our children is truly in our hands.

I believe that we can make a significant difference in how we move forward.

I think it's very important that we throw this into the future now.

We dare not give that to the next generation.

I look forward to the next 4.

We have only scratched the surface.

It proves we can protect our children from a future burdened by reckless debt even as we give them the educational opportunities they need to make the most of the 21st century.

I want you to do is just take a minute tonight to look behind that, to understand what I believe 20, 30 years from now when people look back on this time, what they will say about it.

You are going to live in the most exciting period of time in human history.

The young people in this room today are going to live in the greatest age of possibility, the greatest age of promise ever known.

We have always been a people of hope—hope that we can make tomorrow brighter than today.

We live in an age of possibility—a moment of rich opportunity that brings with it a deep responsibility for the future and the generations to come.

We're fighting for our children and for their future.

We can meet these challenges if we work together in the future, as we did to pass this terrific piece of legislation.
