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

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.

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

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

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

He alone who owns the youth gains the future.

The future is no more uncertain than the present.

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

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

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

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

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

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