It is not given to us to peer into the mysteries of the future. Still, I avow my hope and faith, sure and inviolate, that in the days to come the British and American peoples will for their own safety and for the good of all walk together side by side in majesty, in justice, and in peace.
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill
All human situations have their inconveniences. We feel those of the present but neither see nor feel those of the future; and hence we often make troublesome changes without amendment, and frequently for the worse.
Benjamin Franklin
We are, perhaps, uniquely among the earth's creatures, the worrying animal. We worry away our lives, fearing the future, discontent with the present, unable to take in the idea of dying, unable to sit still.
Lewis Thomas
Los Angeles gives one the feeling of the future more strongly than any city I know of. A bad future, too, like something out of Fritz Lang's feeble imagination.
Henry Miller
When no new thoughts fill the mind-when no horizons beckon-when life is in the past, not in the future--you are on your way to uselessness
Dr. Frederick K. Stamm
Now is the accepted time, not tomorrow, not some more convenient season. It is today that our best work can be done and not some future day or future year. It is today that we fit ourselves for the greater usefulness of tomorrow. Today is the seed time, now are the hours of work, and tomorrow comes the harvest and the playtime
W. E. B. Du Bois
Our nation, this generation, will lift the dark threat of violence from our people and our future. We will rally the world to this cause by our efforts, by our courage. We will not tire, we will not falter and we will not fail.
George Walker Bush
Our choice is apparently most free, and we are least obviously driven to determine our course, in those cases where the future is most obscure, that is, when the balance of advantage appears most doubtful.
Samuel Butler
He who is prepared for the future and he who deals cleverly with any situation that may arise are both happy; but the fatalistic man who wholly depends on luck is ruined.
Chanakya
This is a significant opportunity for the community to kick off a tourist season that could make a difference for a good number of years in the future.
Tom McCarthy
The earth we abuse and the living things we kill will, in the end, take their revenge; for in exploiting their presence we are diminishing our future
Marya Mannes
Until I die there will be sounds. And they will continue following my death. One need not fear about the future of music.
John Milton Cage Jr.
Live in the future with which you create your present. Create and exchange and don't forget to acknowledge yourself and others.
Sofia Milos
The right to private property meant at the same time the right and duty to be personally concerned about your own well-being, to be personally concerned about your family's income, to be personally concerned about your future. This is hard work.
Mikhail Khodorkovsky
