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

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

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

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

As natural selection works solely by and for the good of each being, all corporeal and mental endowments will tend to progress toward perfection.

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.

He alone who owns the youth gains the future.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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