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

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

Little folks become their little fate.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
