I am not sure about its source nor its exact phrasing (though I think this is close), but here is something I recall:

"The question the man of responsibility asks is not 'how can we extricate ourselves from the current situation' but rather 'how is the coming generation to live?'"

Since I've remembered it for over 40 years, it obviously made a big impression on me.
