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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The future comes like an unwelcome guest.

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

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

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