More thoughts on the future . . .


We could be one happy family in this world. We're in it together, enough room for everybody. We're not here to stay, you know -- we're just passing through.
Bluesman John Lee Hooker

The future is a great land; a man cannot go around it in a day; he cannot measure it with a bound; he cannot bind its harvests into a single sheaf. It is wider than vision, and has no end.
Donald G. Mitchell

The future is like -- everyone exalts it but no one wants to go there now.
James Baldwin

Future: That period of time in which our affairs prosper, our friends are true and our happiness is assured.
Ambrose Bierce

You can never plan the future by the past.
Edmund Burke

We steal if we touch tomorrow. It is God's.
Henry Ward Beecher

Only mothers can think of the future, because they give birth to their children.
Maxim Gorky

If a man carefully examine his thoughts he will be surprised to find how much he lives in the future. His well-being is always ahead. Such a creature is probably immortal.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

The man least dependent upon the morrow goes to meet the morrow most cheerfully.
Epicurus

The trouble with our times is that the future is not what it used to be.
Paul Valery

Everyone's future is, in reality, an urn full of unknown treasures from which all may draw unguessed prizes.
Lord Dunsany

To pierce the curtain of the future, to give shape and visage to mysteries still in the womb of time, is the gift of the imagination. It requires poetic sensibilities with which judges are really endowed and which their education does not normally develop.
Felix Frankfurter

I like the dream of the future better than the history of the past.
Thomas Jefferson

He who lives in the future lives in a featureless blank; he lives in impersonality; he lives in Nirvana. The past is democratic, because it is a people. The future is despotic, because it is a caprice. Every man is alone in his prediction, just as each man is alone in a dream.
G. K. Chesterton

They gave each other a smile with a future in it.
Ring Lardner

An author is a fool who, not content with having bored those who have lived with him, insists on boring future generations.
Montesquieu

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