So foolish is the heart of man that he ever puts his hope in the future, learning nothing from his past errors and fancying that tomorrow must be better than today.
Mika Waltari
Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible.
Hannah Arendt
Study the past if you would divine the future
Confucius
The past is of no importance. The present is of no importance. It is with the future that we have to deal. For the past is what man should not have been. The present is what man ought not to be. The future is what artists are.
Oscar Wilde
And when the future hinges on the next words that are said, Don't let logic interfere, believe your heart instead
Philip Robison
Think not that guilt requires the burning torches of the Furies to agitate and torment it. Their own frauds, their crimes, their remembrances of the past, their terrors of the future,--these are the domestic furies that are ever present to the mind of the impious.
Robert Hall
I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That's were the fun is.
Donald Trump
Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay.
Simone de Beauvoir
You can never plan the future by the past.
Edmund Burke
The future hasn't happened yet and the past is gone. So I think the only moment we have is right here and now, and I try to make the best of those moments, the moments that I'm in.
Annie Lennox
The future depends on what we do in the present.
Mahatma Gandhi
The road to the future leads us smack into the wall. We simply ricochet off the alternatives that destiny offers. Our survival is no more than a question of 25, 50 or perhaps 100 years.
Jacques Cousteau
If we were logical, the future would be bleak, indeed. But we are more than logical. We are human beings, and we have faith, and we have hope, and we can work.
Jacques Cousteau
