昔日英首相戴卓爾的寫手Alfred Sherman，曾在首相訪英前撰文籲港人為本身前途作打算。
正如英國前途受英國人深切關注，香港前途亦受香港市民強烈關注，一個地方前途無論怎樣都應明確讓市民知悉。飛鳥有其巢，香港市民亦有香港。倘他們不為自己前途打算，無人會替他們打算。倘香港市民勇敢思索必會問：我們對將來應作甚麼準備呢？當他們為前途打算時，就會想辦法成事，由此擺脫歷史支配，反過來成為支配歷史的人。
Just as the future of Great Britian…is of primary concern to the people of Britian, the future of Hong Kong is of primary concern to the people of Hongkong, however defined and delineated. The birds of the air have their nests, the people of Hongkong have Hongkong. If they do not think about its long-term future, no one else will do it for them. And if they think big and courageously, they will be bound to ask: What should we be doing now to prepare for whatever eventualities we may foresee? When they have thought about the future, they begin to think about how to make things happen: they will turn from the objects of history to subjects of history.
