The future is no more uncertain than the present.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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