The future comes like an unwelcome guest.

It would be madness, and inconsistency, to suppose that things which have never yet been performed can be performed without employing some hitherto untried means.

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

The future is no more uncertain than the present.

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.
