The Future Is Mutable: Building Out of Tomorrow

By H. W. Beecher

You have no power in that which is past. Life that is lived stands ghastly as a grave-stone. You cannot change it a particle. You cannot wipe out a deed. You cannot obliterate a fact. You cannot alter the proportion of a single element. But the future is mutable. It is as plastic as clay in the hand of the artist. With the future, anything can be done, if you but have the heart to do it. Then build out of the future. Quarry in its mines. Bring from it materials for your wants and uses.—H. W. Beecher.
