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

People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestors.

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

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

The future...something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.
