My interest is in the future, because I am going to spend the rest of my life there.

The future is no more uncertain than the present.

The world began without man, and it will end without him.

He alone who owns the youth gains the future.

We must confess that at present the rich predominate, but the future will be for the virtuous and ingenious.

As natural selection works solely by and for the good of each being, all corporeal and mental endowments will tend to progress toward perfection.

Little folks become their little fate.

Fate leads the willing and drags along those who hang back.

Often the prudent, far from making their destinies, succumb to them; it is destiny which makes them prudent.

People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestors.

Time will reveal everything. It is a babbler and speaks even when not asked.

I’ve seen the future, brother; it is murder.

Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.
