He alone who owns the youth gains the future.

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

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

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

I don’t try to describe the future. I try to prevent it.
