Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

The world is dying of machinery; that is the great disease, that is the plague that will sweep away and destroy civilization; man will have to rise against it sooner or later.

He alone who owns the youth gains the future.

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

The future...something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.

The less a man knows about the past and the present, the more insecure must prove to be his judgment of the future.

Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.

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

Not a change for the better in our human housekeeping has ever taken place that wise and good men have not opposed it—have not prophesied that the world would wake up to find its throat cut in consequence.

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

Men are able to assist fortune but not to thwart her. They can weave her designs, but they cannot destroy them.

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.

God seems to have left the receiver off the hook, and time is running out.
