— Barack Obama"In Africa, you often see that the difference between a village where everybody eats and a village where people starve is government.

There are two kinds of people: one who goes on thinking about the future, not bothering about the present at all. That future is not going to come, that future is just a fool's imagination. I don't think about the future. I am a totally different kind of person. I don't think about the future at all, it is irrelevant.
