Little folks become their little fate.

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

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

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

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

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

Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.

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

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

He alone who owns the youth gains the future.

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

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

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