The future, like everything else, is no longer quite what it used to be.

The future comes like an unwelcome guest.

I don’t try to describe the future. I try to prevent it.

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

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

Every man takes the limits of his own vision for the limits of the world.

All progress is based upon a universal, innate desire on the part of every organism to live beyond its income.

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.

The future is no more uncertain than the present.

It would be madness, and inconsistency, to suppose that things which have never yet been performed can be performed without employing some hitherto untried means.

A change of fortune hurts a wise man no more than a change of the moon.

He alone who owns the youth gains the future.
