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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

He alone who owns the youth gains the future.

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