That we can never know, " answered the wolf angrily. "That's for the future. But what we can know is the importance of what we owe to the present. Here and now, and nowhere else. For nothing else exists, except in our minds. What we owe to ourselves, and to those we're bound to. And we can at least hope to make a better future, for everything. David ClementDavies
About This Quote

The wolf is saying that we can never know what the future holds. It is only the present that matters. As our focus shifts from the past to the present, we can start to live as if we have a future. We can take the time to appreciate what we have and start to shape it into something better. This is what "hope" is all about.
