 Never forget posterity when devising a policy. Never think of posterity when making a speech.

 As though there were a tie And obligation to posterity. We get them, bear them, breed, and nurse: What has posterity done for us. That we, lest they their rights should lose, Should trust our necks to gripe of noose?

  Robert Menzies

  Joseph Addison

 Why should I care about posterity? What's posterity ever done for me?
  Groucho Marx

 "We are always doing," says he, "something for Posterity, but I would fain see Posterity do something for us
