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

The future comes like an unwelcome guest.

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

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

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

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

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

The future is no more uncertain than the present.

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

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

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

Tomorrow never comes, man. It’s all the same fucking day.

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