Sitting Bull | Let us put our minds together and see what life we can make for our children. | 101 |
Al Gore | As human beings, we are vulnerable to confusing the unprecedented with the improbable. In our everyday experience, if something has never happened before, we are generally safe in assuming it is not going to happen in the future, but the exceptions can kill you and climate change is one of those exceptions. | 101 |
Bil Keane | Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present. | 101 |

Buzz Aldrin | By refocusing our space program on Mars for America's future, we can restore the sense of wonder and adventure in space exploration that we knew in the summer of 1969.

Frances Conroy | It's like real life: We don't get a preview of what's coming up, thank God, and we don't build our own character from what we're going to be informed with in the future. | 101 |
Frederick W. Taylor | In the past the man has been first; in the future the system must be first... The first object of any good system must be that of developing first class men. | 101 |
Garry Kasparov | If you make a decision to fight for future of your own country you have to consider all the consequences. | 101 |
Gary Zukav | The winter solstice has always been special to me as a barren darkness that gives birth to a verdant future beyond imagination, a time of pain and withdrawal that produces something joyfully inconceivable, like a monarch butterfly masterfully extracting itself from the confines of its cocoon, bursting forth into unexpected glory. | 101 |
Geoff Mulgan | On the environment and climate change, I suspect that future generations will think there was too much timidity, too much fear of upsetting business. Basically, New Labour was very nervous about regulating business, or requiring it to do anything, even when there was a very clear social or environmental case for doing so. | 101 |
Graham Greene | There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in. | 101 |
Guy Finley | Being fully present is the best guarantee for a bright future. | 101 |
iO Tillett Wright | Along with racial equality and the late bloom of women's rights, future generations will have to explain how, in the past, gays were misunderstood and publicly humiliated for loving each other, and, eventually, how they stood together and conquered stupidity and hypocritical hatred, and fought their way out of marginalization. | 101 |
John P. Kotter | Leaders establish the vision for the future and set the strategy for getting there. | 101 |
Jose Rizal | The youth is the hope of our future. | 101 |
Lewis B. Smedes | Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future. | 101 |
Lynn Schusterman | We must work together to strengthen Jerusalem as a modern, open capital and to foster welcoming, inclusive communities across the Jewish world. It is vital to the health and vibrancy of the global Jewish future and to ensuring a strong Israel. | 101 |
Marc Benioff | The future of communicating with customers rests in engaging with them through every possible channel: phone, e-mail, chat, Web, and social networks. Customers are discussing a company's products and brand in real time. Companies need to join the conversation. | 101 |
Mike Huckabee | The most important thing about global warming is this. Whether humans are responsible for the bulk of climate change is going to be left to the scientists, but it's all of our responsibility to leave this planet in better shape for the future generations than we found it. | 101 |
Mike Murdock | The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine. | 101 |
Narendra Modi | I don't carry the burden of the past or the madness of the future. I live in the present. | 101 |

I think one of the most important things in a relationship is caring for your significant other through good times and bad. | 101 |

Peter Lynch | So while I was in college I did a little study on the freight industry, the air freight industry. And I looked at this company called Flying Tiger. And I actually put a thousand dollars in it and I remember I thought this air cargo was going to be a thing of the future. | 101 |
Saul Alinsky | Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and chance the future. | 101 |
Van Jones | I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future. | 101 |
William Jennings Bryan | Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. | 101 |
Alan Lakein | Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now. | 101 |
Albert Brooks | What's interesting about books that take place in the future, even twenty years in the future, is that many of them are black or white: It's either a utopia or it's misery. The real truth is that there's going to be both things in any future, just like there is now. | 101 |
Bernard Beckett | Human spirit is the ability to face the uncertainty of the future with curiosity and optimism. It is the belief that problems can be solved, differences resolved. It is a type of confidence. And it is fragile. It can be blackened by fear and superstition. | 101 |

Fujio Mitarai | Diversification and globalization are the keys to the future. | 101 |
Grace Gealey | I don't have time to beat myself up over my fallible nature. Instead I use my energy to learn from my past and let it inform my future. It's time to own all of our glory, mistakes, mess and light and be gentle to ourselves. Let's be kind to our spirits and celebrate the truth of our hearts. | 101 |
Henry R. Luce | Business, more than any other occupation, is a continual dealing with the future; it is a continual calculation, an instinctive exercise in foresight. | 101 |
J. G. Ballard | I would sum up my fear about the future in one word: boring. And that's my one fear: that everything has happened; nothing exciting or new or interesting is ever going to happen again... the future is just going to be a vast, conforming suburb of the soul. | 101 |
Jane Addams | America's future will be determined by the home and the school. The child becomes largely what he is taught; hence we must watch what we teach, and how we live. | 101 |

That great enemy of democratic capitalism, economic inequality, is real and growing. | 101 |
Josh Dun | We're always trying to outdo ourselves, trying to do better, trying to write better songs. I think we want to inspire other people as well, so that's what we'll try to do through future songs. | 101 |
Josh McDowell | No matter how devastating our struggles, disappointments, and troubles are, they are only temporary.

Karen Finerman | It's OK to have a plan, to invest in your future - for your financial security, your love life, your personal fulfillment, and even your happiness. To have personal happiness as a stated goal doesn't detract from it if you get there. | 101 |
Kim Yuna | To many, peace is what enables development and is critical in providing opportunities to young people. To some - especially those from regions involved in conflict - peacekeeping and efforts to preserve peace are absolutely vital in bringing prosperity and hope for the future. | 101 |
Kit Bond | The U.S. is looking to India as more then just a marketplace for our defense products, but as a technology, aerospace and strategic partner for our future endeavors. | 101 |

Wayne McGregor | If you put yourself in a place where you're having to work at understanding something, then you keep yourself awake to all possible choices. How the body will look like in the future, the ethics of the body: those are questions that really fascinate me. Let's get the dialogue going. | 101 |
Winslow Homer | You will see - in the future, I will live by my watercolors. | 101 |
Amity Shlaes | Interest groups are not the same as individuals. Through false nostalgia for the New Deal, you are taking the younger generation hostage. They are the ones who are going to have to pay far greater taxes. They are the future's forgotten men. | 101 |
Arthur Eddington | It is sound judgment to hope that in the not too distant future we shall be competent to understand so simple a thing as a star. | 101 |
Blanche Lincoln | Whether it's making sure that families have access to quality health care and child care, or making sure that our children receive the best educational opportunities we can give them, we must remain committed to these needs because our children are our future. | 101 |
David Sanborn | Everyone goes through the ups and downs of living - fretting about the future, worrying about what happened. Music teaches us how to be in the moment. | 101 |
E. L. Konigsburg | I think it's important to experience kindness so that you can experience it more in the future. I believe that patterns of emotional behavior are set down before adolescence. And I think that if you have not observed kindness, you will not recognize it. You have to experience kindness in order to be kind. | 101 |
Eduard Shevardnadze | I'm sure that was the right step, even though, formally speaking, it may seem disadvantageous for a president to resign. But, looking into what is happening today and what is going to happen in the future, I think history will show I made the right decision. | 101 |
Edy Ganem | I think, in the future, people are going to look back and say, 'I can't believe that gay and lesbian people had to fight to be able to get married.' | 101 |

Gary Kemp | We never had books at home, but my dad, seeing how keen I was to read, took me to Islington Library when I was about eight and we pulled out two - a Biggles and a science fiction novel. I never got the ace fighter pilot but fell in love with all things to do with the future and space. Isaac Asimov soon became my guiding star. | 101 |
Giorgio Napolitano | We owe it to our children to give them a dignified and hopeful future. | 101 |
Gregory Stock | If out of concern over cloning, the U.S. Congress succeeds in criminalizing embryonic stem-cell research that might bring treatments for Alzheimer's disease or diabetes - and Dr. Fukuyama lent his name to a petition that supported such laws - there would be real victims: present and future sufferers of those diseases. | 101 |
Heidi Hayes Jacobs | As educators, we are only as effective as what we know. If we have no working knowledge of what students studied in previous years, how can we build on their learning? If we have no insight into the curriculum in later grades, how can we prepare learners for future classes? | 101 |
Henry Norris Russell | Just what future the Designer of the universe has provided for the souls of men I do not know, I cannot prove. But I find that the whole order of Nature confirms my confidence that, if it is not like our noblest hopes and dreams, it will transcend them. | 101 |
Janice Dickinson | The past explains how I got here, but the future is up to me - and I love to live life at full throttle. | 101 |

John Mellencamp | Unemployment is sky-rocketing; deflation is in our future for the first time since the Great Depression. I don't care whose fault it is, it's the truth. | 101 |
John Piper | Darkness comes. In the middle of it, the future looks blank. The temptation to quit is huge. Don't. You are in good company... You will argue with yourself that there is no way forward. But with God, nothing is impossible. He has more ropes and ladders and tunnels out of pits than you can conceive. Wait. Pray without ceasing. Hope. | 101 |
Kay Hagan | The fabric of North Carolina and what makes our state so special is our families and our common desire for a brighter future for our children. No matter what your family looks like, we all want the same thing for our families - happiness, health, prosperity, a bright future for our children and grandchildren. | 101 |
Ken Buck | I think women as well as men are concerned about jobs and the economy and spending and, and other issues. They're concerned that when their kids graduate from college they have an economy and they have a future in this country and they, they have the same opportunity that we've had and our grandparents have had. | 101 |
Kimberly Caldwell | I take all of my life lessons, which some people might call 'mistakes,' and apply them to my future so that I keep growing. | 101 |

Mike Barnicle | It's your glove, your baseball glove. It's got a soul, a memory all its own, and a future that never fades because it has never let go of the grasp the past has on you and so many others. | 101 |
Mike Rounds | We can do things the cheap way, the simple way, for the short-term and without regard for the future. Or, we can make the extra effort, do the hard work, absorb the criticism and make decisions that will cause a better future. | 101 |
Norbert Wiener | Progress imposes not only new possibilities for the future but new restrictions. | 101 |
Norodom Sihamoni | In all my life and in the future, I will always be a faithful and loyal servant to all of my compatriots. | 101 |
Ray Comfort | Each of us should think of the future. Every puff on a cigarette is another tick closer to a time bomb of terrible consequences. Christopher Hitchens didn't care about the consequences of smoking cigarettes. Tragically, he died of throat cancer in December 2011. | 101 |
Sean M. Carroll | The particular aspect of time that I'm interested in is the arrow of time: the fact that the past is different from the future. We remember the past but we don't remember the future. There are irreversible processes. There are things that happen, like you turn an egg into an omelet, but you can't turn an omelet into an egg. | 101 |
Sendhil Mullainathan | The scarcity trap captures this notion we see again and again in many domains. When people have very little, they undertake behaviors that maintain or reinforce their future disadvantage. If you have very little, you often behave in such a way so that you'll have little in the future. | 101 |
Sheryl Lee Ralph | I cannot believe that my generation may very well have been the last one to have sex education in schools that was truly the complete and total package. I mean what are we doing? Are we in the future, but acting like it's The Dark Ages? | 101 |
Stephen Ambrose | The past is a source of knowledge, and the future is a source of hope. Love of the past implies faith in the future. | 101 |
Sukarno | Let us not be bitter about the past, but let us keep our eyes firmly on the future. | 101 |
Albio Sires | Middle class families are struggling to send their sons and daughters to school. For many Americans, a college education is essential to future success. | 101 |
Charles M. Blow | America is a living idea. It isn't only the tenets of its founding, but also the terms of its future. Every day, we make America. Seeking to preserve and enshrine one vision of this country from one period of its past robs it of what makes it magical: its infinite possibility for adjustment. | 101 |
Clyde Tombaugh | I have a lot of sympathy for young people because I realize how disturbed I was. How would I deal with life in the future? What would I do for a living? | 101 |
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf | The future belongs to us, because we have taken charge of it. We have the commitment, we have the resourcefulness, and we have the strength of our people to share the dream across Africa of clean water for all. | 101 |
Geoff Hoon | I joined the Labour party because I believed in equality, in freedom of speech and in tolerance, compassion and understanding for people, irrespective of their background and views. In whatever I decide to do in the future I will hold to those principles. | 101 |
Gordon Taylor | Manchester United and Liverpool have been bought with huge leverage, and we've got Roman Abramovich at Chelsea who can turn his loans into shares. It is really important for the Premier League to ask itself: if a club is being bought on such a mountain of debt, isn't that a possible recipe for disaster for the future? | 101 |
Henry Taube | And as we continue to improve our understanding of the basic science on which applications increasingly depend, material benefits of this and other kinds are secured for the future. | 101 |

Michael P. Anderson | It looks like the future's really bright. | 101 |

Robert Conklin | Dreams get you into the future and add excitement to the present. | 101 |
Ron Lewis | Ensuring quality higher education is one of the most important things we can do for future generations. | 101 |
Tarja Halonen | Nuclear power is not a miracle key for the future. | 101 |
Ted Kulongoski | It is a sad commentary that today we face a choice between having schools that are a monument to our past - or schools that will be the lifeblood of our future. But since that is our choice, let us resolve to choose wisely. | 101 |
Ann Plato | A good education is that which prepares us for our future sphere of action and makes us contented with that situation in life in which God, in his infinite mercy, has seen fit to place us, to be perfectly resigned to our lot in life, whatever it may be. | 101 |
Bernard L. Schwartz | With the sole exception of President Bill Clinton, whose 'bridge to the 21st century' evoked the vision and optimism of other great Democratic presidents of the 20th century, such as FDR and John F. Kennedy, pessimism about America's economic future has been the hallmark of modern progressivism. | 101 |
Blanka Vlasic | Sometimes your disappointments make you a stronger person for the future. | 101 |
Charlie Crist | When I look at President Obama, I see a leader with a cool head, a caring heart and an open mind, a president who has demonstrated through his demeanor and through his deeds that he is uniquely qualified to heal our divisions, rebuild our nation and lead us to a brighter future together. | 101 |
Dave Navarro | There have been times when I felt suicidal and I would stop my head from going in that direction of negativity because I thought there'd be something I'd miss that was funny in the future. If there's a chance I'm going to laugh tomorrow then want to live to experience that. | 101 |
David Hanson | Character robotics could plant the seed for robots that actually have empathy. So, if they achieve human level intelligence or, quite possibly, greater than human levels of intelligence, this could be the seeds of hope for our future. | 101 |
Eknath Easwaran | It takes a lot of experience of life to see why some relationships last and others do not. But we do not have to wait for a crisis to get an idea of the future of a particular relationship. Our behavior in little every incidents tells us a great deal. | 101 |
Gene Oliver | My past is my wisdom to use today... my future is my wisdom yet to experience. Be in the present because that is where life resides. | 101 |
Mark Strand | The future is always beginning now. | 101 |
Mary Bono | Arnold has succeeded at every level, and I believe he is the only person that can unite the people of this state and lead California from its current dysfunctional condition to the bright future that all residents long for. | 101 |
Mordechai Vanunu | Five million Jews are regarding me as a traitor, but six billion people around the world think me as a hero and a good man who bring the message to all the human beings that we should survive and prevent the use of nuclear weapons and to prevent the nuclear preparations and to prevent nuclear war in the future. | 101 |
Paul Biya | I want to believe that those who have been appointed to accomplish this mission will be totally committed, devoting all their skills and determination to their work. I urge you to lend them your support so that, together, we can build that bright future worthy of our country. | 101 |
Paul Conroy | Britain, along with the U.S.A., is war weary, and after the travesty of Iraq and Afghanistan, has grave misgivings in any future involvement in the Middle East. The ghost of Tony Blair and his single-minded determination to attack Iraq, at any cost, has cast a long shadow over British politics. The British public have a long collective memory. | 101 |
Rachel Boston | Keep looking up! I learn from the past, dream about the future and look up. There's nothing like a beautiful sunset to end a healthy day. | 101 |
Scott McCloud | There's a very big part of me that just wants to take all of comics history and toss it on the bonfire. I'd sort of like to get on to the future. | 101 |
Stana Katic | My parents were European immigrants. They came to the States with $1,500, two suitcases, and me, and they managed to build a business, a family, and a future for their family. They didn't have any of the resources of people who have lived here for two or three generations. | 101 |
Thomas Carper | Thirteen thousand dollars a year is not enough to raise a family. That's not enough to pay your bills and save for their future. That's barely enough to provide for even the most basic needs. | 101 |
Anita Borg | Leaders of the future will have to be visionary and be able to bring people in - real communicators. These are things that women bring to leadership and executive positions, and it's going to be incredibly valuable and incredibly in demand. | 101 |
Jam Master Jay | Make sure to save for the future and keep making money! | 101 |
John Abizaid | But the truth of the matter is that there is there is an opportunity for them to participate in the economic and political future of the country and certainly in the security life of the country. | 101 |
Jose Ferreira | We know everything about what you know and how you learn best because we get so much data. And education is the highest-stakes media product in your life. It's infinitely more important than your Facebook friends' status updates or your Google search results because it's your future. | 101 |
Julia Gillard | Our future growth relies on competitiveness and innovation, skills and productivity... and these in turn rely on the education of our people. | 101 |
James W. Black | Analytical pharmacology has got an important and exciting future. | 101 |
Marek Belka | With the sugar market hysteria, the people are obviously worried and expect higher inflation. When this hysteria subsides, which we're probably observing, then I hope that people will also get less worried about the future of inflation. | 101 |
Mike Farrell | My dreams for the future are simple: work, a happy, healthy family, a lovely long motorcycle ride, and continuing the struggle to awaken people to the need for serious human rights reform. | 101 |
A. J. Jacobs | The key to making healthy decisions is to respect your future self. Honor him or her. Treat him or her like you would treat a friend or a loved one. A Stanford study showed that those who saw a photo of their future self made smarter financial decisions. | 101 |
Alan G. Poindexter | I'm really hopeful about the future of space exploration and human spaceflight. Civilization as we know it has been defined by exploration. You know, we need to go off and find out what's around the next corner and what's just beyond what we already know. It's part of our being; it's part of our moral fiber to go off and explore. | 101 |
Anna Eshoo | Innovation is the calling card of the future. | 101 |
Bill Berry | I loved my 17 years with R.E.M., but I'm ready to reflect, assess and move on to a different phase of my life. The four of us will continue our close friendship, and I look forward to hearing their future efforts as the world's biggest R.E.M. fan. | 101 |
David Satcher | I'm convinced that we can shape a different future for this country as it relates to mental health and as it relates to suicide. | 101 |
Dee Bradley Baker | I am a geek dad, believe me. I've got my iPad with me; I've got my iPhone 4; I've got my Xbox. I love technology and I want to feel like I'm living in the future, and these devices help me feel that way. | 101 |
Jeff Bingaman | I hope that in future Congresses there will reemerge a recognition that climate change is a reality, that our policies to meet our energy needs must also deal responsibly with environmental issues, including the damage caused by greenhouse gas emissions. | 101 |
Mark Sheppard | The idea of future or past, either way, is a core part of entertainment. It's something we've always loved as humans. Its part of our psyche, I think. | 101 |
Matt Ridley | I felt cheated by the way grown-ups told me that the future of the world was bleak when I became a teenager in the 1970s. The pollution explosion was unstoppable. Global famine was inevitable. I genuinely want the next generation, my own kids, to know that actually it's possible that the future might be better than the past. | 101 |
Richard Li | If achieving the Hong Kong dream becomes a vanishing hope, then our society will suffer. What would the Hong Kong dream be? It's no different from the American dream, whereby an everyday man on the street who works hard would be able to make good savings and use those savings as equity for their future small business. | 101 |
Adam Ferguson | Every step and every movement of the multitude, even in what are termed enlightened ages, are made with equal blindness to the future; and nations stumble upon establishments, which are indeed the result of human action, but not the execution of any human design. | 101 |
Catherine Booth | If we are to better the future we must disturb the present. | 101 |
Didier Sornette | Economic theory dictates that the value of a company is basically the present value of its future profits. To estimate Facebook's value through its future profits, we need to have a view on its user growth and how this will evolve in the next 10 to 50 years. | 101 |
Jean M. Auel | Science Fiction is not just about the future of space ships travelling to other planets, it is fiction based on science and I am using science as my basis for my fiction, but it's the science of prehistory - palaeontology and archaeology - rather than astronomy or physics. | 101 |
Jean-Bertrand Aristide | The future of Haiti must be linked to the respect of the rights of every single citizen. | 101 |
Jim Himes | I remain as committed as ever to working across party lines with anyone who believes we must invest in the future of our economy by revitalizing our transportation infrastructure, ensuring every child is getting a world class education, and spurring research and development of new technologies. | 101 |
John Holt | Since we can't know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned. | 101 |
Melissa Benoist | I have a very optimistic view of my future right now. I'm very excited to see where it goes, but I try not to make plans just because I know how unpredictable life can be. Especially the life of an actor, and especially the life of an actor on 'Glee.' I just want to be happy and healthy and surrounded by people I love, as cheesy as it sounds. | 101 |
Agustin Castillo | You don't buy experience at the pharmacy. You acquire it through games over time. Every player must go through that, but when the federation hired me, they told me they wanted new players and young players who will prepare for the future. | 101 |
Alexandra Maria Lara | No matter what happens to me and my career in the future, Berlin is always going to be my hometown. | 101 |
John Galsworthy | Religion was nearly dead because there was no longer real belief in future life; but something was struggling to take its place - service - social service - the ants creed, the bees creed. | 101 |
Martin Bormann | Every educated person is a future enemy. | 101 |
Michael Anti | Social media changed Chinese mindset. More and more Chinese intend to embrace freedom of speech and human rights as their birthright, not some imported American privilege. But also, it gave the Chinese a national public sphere for people to, it's like a training of their citizenship, preparing for future democracy. | 101 |
John Sentamu | The Gospel offers forgiveness for the past, new life for the present, and hope for the future. | 101 |
Jacob Rothschild | Unilever, Nestle and SAB Miller are all taking a long-term approach to investing in sustainable resource consumption. Each is driving through better resource management, which is expected to yield positive returns in the future. | 101 |
Barack Obama | The future rewards those who press on. I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I don't have time to complain. I'm going to press on. | 102 |
John F. Kennedy | Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. | 102 |
William Shakespeare | It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves. | 102 |
Andy Warhol | In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes. | 102 |
Elie Wiesel | Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory, there would be no civilization, no society, no future. | 102 |
George Orwell | All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome. | 102 |
Nikola Tesla | Modern science says: 'The sun is the past, the earth is the present, the moon is the future.' From an incandescent mass we have originated, and into a frozen mass we shall turn. Merciless is the law of nature, and rapidly and irresistibly we are drawn to our doom. | 102 |
William Wordsworth | Life is divided into three terms - that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present, to live better in the future. | 102 |
Albert Ellis | The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny. | 102 |
Alvin Toffler | The illiterate of the future will not be the person who cannot read. It will be the person who does not know how to learn. | 102 |
Ban Ki-moon | Sustainable development is the pathway to the future we want for all. It offers a framework to generate economic growth, achieve social justice, exercise environmental stewardship and strengthen governance. | 102 |
Barbara Jordan | More is required of public officials than slogans and handshakes and press releases. More is required. We must hold ourselves strictly accountable. We must provide the people with a vision of the future. | 102 |
Barbara Kingsolver | I can count all the ways in which being a mother has enriched my understanding of the world, of character, my sense of the future and my attachment to it. I can't imagine what kind of writer I'd be if I didn't have my kids. | 102 |
Barry Ritholtz | Google's founders have had a good eye for imagining what technologies will be significant in the near future. No one asked Google to develop self-driving cars, but it helped them with street views for Google Maps. | 102 |
Carrie Chapman Catt | To the wrongs that need resistance, To the right that needs assistance, To the future in the distance, Give yourselves. | 102 |
David Suzuki | The human brain had a vast memory storage. It made us curious and very creative. Those were the characteristics that gave us an advantage - curiosity, creativity and memory. And that brain did something very special. It invented an idea called 'the future.' | 102 |
Dian Fossey | When you realize the value of all life, you dwell less on what is past and concentrate more on the preservation of the future. | 102 |
Dietrich Bonhoeffer | The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy. | 102 |
Dorothy Dix | I have learned to live each day as it comes, and not to borrow trouble by dreading tomorrow. It is the dark menace of the future that makes cowards of us. | 102 |
George Linnaeus Banks | For the cause that lacks assistance, the wrong that needs resistance, for the future in the distance, and the good that I can do. | 102 |
Gustave Flaubert | The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments. | 102 |
Irving Babbitt | A person who has sympathy for mankind in the lump, faith in its future progress, and desire to serve the great cause of this progress, should be called not a humanist, but a humanitarian, and his creed may be designated as humanitarianism. | 102 |
James Thurber | The past is an old armchair in the attic, the present an ominous ticking sound, and the future is anybody's guess. | 102 |
Jose Marti | The vote is a trust more delicate than any other, for it involves not just the interests of the voter, but his life, honor and future as well. | 102 |
Lincoln Steffens | I have been over into the future, and it works. | 102 |
Liza Minnelli | I've said it before, but it's absolutely true: My mother gave me my drive, but my father gave me my dreams. Thanks to him, I could see a future. | 102 |
Martin Sheen | Future generations are not going to ask us what political party were you in. They are going to ask what did you do about it, when you knew the glaciers were melting. | 102 |
Michael Gove | As long as there are people in education making excuses for failure, cursing future generations with a culture of low expectations, denying children access to the best that has been thought and written, because Nemo and the Mister Men are more relevant, the battle needs to be joined. | 102 |
Michio Kaku | Our grandkids will lead the lives of the gods of mythology. Zeus could think and move objects around. We'll have that power. Venus had a perfect, timeless body. We'll have that, too. Pegasus was a flying horse. We'll be able to modify life in the future. | 102 |
Najib Razak | Don't gamble the future of your children and Malaysia; think and contemplate because your vote will determine not only the future of the country but also your grandchildren. | 102 |
Nick Carter | Live life to the fullest, for the future is scarce. | 102 |
Nita Ambani | Education is not a tool for development - individual, community and the nation. It is the foundation for our future. It is empowerment to make choices and emboldens the youth to chase their dreams. | 102 |
Peter Thiel | The future is limitless. | 102 |
Robert Dallek | Don't be intimidated by people who seem to be experts. Hear their points of view and get their judgements. But at the end of day, you've got to make a judgement because it's not their life that's going to be affected so much as your future. | 102 |
Stephen Fry | When you get just a complete sense of blackness or void ahead of you, that somehow the future looks an impossible place to be, and the direction you are going seems to have no purpose, there is this word despair which is a very awful thing to feel. | 102 |
Tom Ford | I went to a fashion show, and this silver-haired guy was staring at me with these piercing water-blue eyes. It scared me because I absolutely saw and knew my entire future. | 102 |
Tommy Lee Jones | My idea in terms of managing a narrative, or in thinking in my creative life, is that you could easily argue that the past, the present and the future all occur simultaneously, and if you can postulate that, then you're not strictly bound to a linear narrative. | 102 |
Vladimir Horowitz | My future is in my past and my past is my present. I must now make the present my future. | 102 |
Yingluck Shinawatra | There is a lot more hard work to do in the future for the well-being of our sisters and brothers, the people of Thailand. | 102 |
Yoshihiko Noda | When I became prime minister last September, I promised the Japanese people that I would not tolerate the politics of indecision. A propensity to delay difficult and weighty decisions has been hurting our country. It is detrimental to our economy, society and future, and it cannot be allowed to continue. | 102 |
Alan Kay | The best way to predict the future is to invent it. | 102 |
Alex Haley | In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future. | 102 |
Andy Griffith | You know when you're young you think you will always be. As you become more fragile, you reflect and you realize how much comfort can come from the past. Hymns can carry you into the future. | 102 |
August Wilson | I think all in all, one thing a lot of plays seem to be saying is that we need to, as black Americans, to make a connection with our past in order to determine the kind of future we're going to have. In other words, we simply need to know who we are in relation to our historical presence in America. | 102 |
Claudia Rankine | The Black Lives Matter movement can be read as an attempt to keep mourning an open dynamic in our culture because black lives exist in a state of precariousness. Mourning then bears both the vulnerability inherent in black lives and the instability regarding a future for those lives. | 102 |
Dale Turner | Some of the best lessons we ever learn are learned from past mistakes. The error of the past is the wisdom and success of the future. | 102 |
Danielle Steel | If you see the magic in a fairy tale, you can face the future. | 102 |
Dierks Bentley | Country music is always changing but the Opry is always there to serve as a lighthouse for what country music really is. The past, present and future is all encompassed by not only the physical structure of the building but also the radio show. | 102 |
George Benson | I listen to other guitar players, yeah. It gives me new concepts and shows me where the instrument is going for the future and it is going some places. There are some musicians who are really putting out a good vibe with new theories. I try and keep up. | 102 |
George Pataki | We know that when people are safe in their homes, they are free to pursue their dream for a brighter economic future for themselves and their families. | 102 |
Hank Stram | Yesterday is a cancelled check. Today is cash on the line. Tomorrow is a promissory note. | 102 |
Hugh Masekela | I am a forward-looking person and live in the moment to build for the future. | 102 |
Isco | I'd say I'm a bit antimadridista although I do not know where my future will be, but it's a team that I never liked. I get the impression that it is an arrogant club, about how the players are. Without humility, you cannot get anywhere. | 102 |
Jessamyn West | The past is really almost as much a work of the imagination as the future. | 102 |
Jim Barksdale | After all, it's the future of business communication that we're looking toward. | 102 |
John L. Lewis | Let the workers organize. Let the toilers assemble. Let their crystallized voice proclaim their injustices and demand their privileges. Let all thoughtful citizens sustain them, for the future of Labor is the future of America. | 102 |
Joseph Monninger | I've never liked the moment of seeing something beautiful - a sunset, a moose, an elephant - and then raising a camera and trying to capture it for some future moment. That's always struck me as strange. | 102 |
Joshua Bell | I like working with kids because I enjoy seeing the looks on their faces and, it's kind of selfish, I want a future audience. | 102 |
Lee Westwood | Race horses are like golfers, you're never sure how they're going to come out of the stalls. It's just - hopefully the horses come out of the race all right, just fit and ready to go again in the near future, but 3rd was good. It's paid for its hay. | 102 |
Leonard Lauder | A visionary is someone who can see the future, or thinks he sees the future. In my case, I use it and it comes out right. That doesn't come from daydreams or dreams, but it comes from knowing the market and knowing the world and knowing people really well and knowing where they're going to be tomorrow. | 102 |
Lester Bangs | Every great work of art has two faces, one toward its own time and one toward the future, toward eternity. | 102 |
Li Ka-shing | Vision is perhaps our greatest strength... it has kept us alive to the power and continuity of thought through the centuries, it makes us peer into the future and lends shape to the unknown. | 102 |
Nathan Wolfe | When there is an influenza threat, drop everything and focus on risks from influenza pandemics. When SARS spreads, focus on unknown respiratory diseases. This approach helps to quell public concern, but it's a hugely inefficient way to deal with future risks. | 102 |
Patrick Swayze | I keep dreaming of a future, a future with a long and healthy life, not lived in the shadow of cancer but in the light. | 102 |
Reid Hoffman | You have to be constantly reinventing yourself and investing in the future. | 102 |
Sparky Anderson | People who live in the past generally are afraid to compete in the present. I've got my faults, but living in the past is not one of them. There's no future in it. | 102 |
Walter Russell Mead | Unlike some, I don't claim to hold the mystic key to the future. But judging from past events, it seems to me that those who want to prophesy the imminent end of America's unique global role have a harder case to make than those who think we will limp on for a while, making a mess of things as usual. | 102 |
Alex Tabarrok | Education is the key to the future: You've heard it a million times, and it's not wrong. Educated people have higher wages and lower unemployment rates, and better-educated countries grow faster and innovate more than other countries. But going to college is not enough. You also have to study the right subjects. | 102 |
Barbara Mandrell | I don't know what the future holds, but I know that God holds tomorrow, so it is exciting. Even when I have hard things happen, He loves me so big, so much. I come through it and I grow from it, because He has got me. | 102 |
Bob Riley | Drugs are the enemies of ambition and hope - and when we fight against drugs we are fighting for the future. | 102 |
Christine Gregoire | It is up to us to live up to the legacy that was left for us, and to leave a legacy that is worthy of our children and of future generations. | 102 |
Gina Barreca | If you know you can do it - if you can already chart every day in your future - then why bother? Choose to do something you have more trouble imagining. Take a chance. | 102 |
Ginny Brown-Waite | The world today is changing rapidly, and we are helping to make it better for our children's future. | 102 |
Herb Kohl | We need to take steps to strengthen and mend Social Security so that its promise of a secure retirement is just as real for seniors in the future as it is today. | 102 |
Hosni Mubarak | I am telling you that I am very grateful and am so proud of you for being a symbolic generation that is calling for change to the better, that is dreaming for a better future, and is making the future. | 102 |
Jeffrey R. Immelt | I have learned that nothing is certain except for the need to have strong risk management, a lot of cash, the willingness to invest even when the future is unclear, and great people. | 102 |
Judy Chicago | I feel like I have at least begun to make a contribution, but my most significant concern has to do with whether my actual art will be preserved for future generations or be erased. | 102 |
Lois Capps | We have a moral responsibility to save wild places like the arctic refuge for future generations, and that is why our country has remained committed to its protection for nearly 50 years. | 102 |
Michael N. Castle | Ensuring a bright future for all our children is the responsibility of the community, the schools, families and like it or not- politicians as well. | 102 |
Miriam Makeba | Girls are the future mothers of our society, and it is important that we focus on their well-being. | 102 |
Peter Baynham | I'm nostalgic for the future I knew as a kid. Back then, it was a lovely, bleepy, heavenly land populated by svelte men in white polo necks, who would lounge on big white sofas sipping blue wine from big glass globes, beside women like the ones on the covers of Hedkandi chill out compilations. | 102 |
Petra Nemcova | Learn from the past, look to the future, but live in the present. | 102 |
Rebecca Sugar | I'm really inspired by the show 'Future Boy Conan' from the '70s. It's a really beautiful show, and I love shonen anime and shojo anime, and I like the thought of mixing them together. | 102 |
Richard K. Morgan | In the future, maybe quantum mechanics will teach us something equally chilling about exactly how we exist from moment to moment of what we like to think of as time. | 102 |
Sendhil Mullainathan | There's a popular image of people who don't save for the future as lacking in self-control. But the reason saving is so hard has less to do with self-control and more to do with a scarcity of attention. | 102 |
William Carey | The future is as bright as the promises of God. | 102 |
Anthony Goldbloom | You want to evaluate future borrowers, but in order to train an algorithm that will help you identify future defaults, you have to train it and evaluate it on past data. | 102 |
Azar Nafisi | You need imagination in order to imagine a future that doesn't exist. | 102 |
Christa McAuliffe | I touch the future. I teach. | 102 |
Denise Juneau | Teachers do the noble work of educating our children. And we can't thank them enough for the hard work they put in every day to ensure a bright future for all of us. | 102 |
Donald Wuerl | Our God who created all of us is the God who calls all of us to care for one another. I think that's going to be one of the big, big challenges of the future, helping refocus on the needs of others. | 102 |
Jackie Mason | I've been watching politics for 35 or 40 years and you just never know. You can have one person win the Iowa caucus and then the whole picture changes ten minutes later. The same thing can happen again after New Hampshire. I have no idea what's going to happen with our country in the future. | 102 |
James Howard Kunstler | I'm very optimistic about the future. I'm just not optimistic about the skyscraper as a building typology that is suited for the future. | 102 |
Jay Inslee | Renewable energy also creates more jobs than other sources of energy - most of these will be created in the struggling manufacturing sector, which will pioneer the new energy future by investment that allows manufacturers to retool and adopt new technologies and methods. | 102 |
Joanne Harris | I had a great grandmother who believed in so many strange superstitions. She used to tell the future from the things that catch on to the hem of your skirt when you've been sewing, and different colored threads would mean different things... Of course, all that influenced me quite a lot as a child. | 102 |
Louis Bacon | We are too quickly losing important landscapes in this country to development - and I worry that if we do not act to protect them now, future generations will grow up in a profoundly different world. | 102 |
Preston Brooks | But, sir, they have written me down upon the history of the country as worthy of expulsion, and in no unkindness I must tell them that for all future time my self-respect requires that I shall pass them as strangers. | 102 |
Sam Raimi | I'm not certain, but I have a little gypsy blood in me. And my mother always told me that her grandma could give someone the evil eye, and I'd better not cross her because she had some of that blood in her. Mother always believed that she could predict the future, and she had dreams that came true. | 102 |
Adam Braun | What can a pencil do for all of us? Amazing things. It can write transcendent poetry, uplifting music, or life-changing equations; it can sketch the future, give life to untold beauty, and communicate the full-force of our love and aspirations. | 102 |
Boyle Roche | All along the untrodden paths of the future, I can see the footprints of an unseen hand. | 102 |
Dean Acheson | The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time. | 102 |
Donald Bren | My two primary areas of focus have been open-space conservation and education, and I expect those to remain my priorities in the future. The Irvine open space and parklands provide serenity and balance to our unique Orange County lifestyle. | 102 |
David J. C. MacKay | I would like to help people have honest and constructive conversations about energy. We need to understand how much energy our modern lifestyles use, decide how much energy we would like to use in the future, and choose where we will get that energy from. | 102 |
John Hickenlooper | Denver is a city that will be far more defined by its future than its past. | 102 |
John Naisbitt | The most reliable way to forecast the future is to try to understand the present. | 102 |
Lee Kun-hee | There's an ongoing competition by global companies across all areas from products, technology development and hiring talented people to patent disputes. The market is big and opportunities are wide open, so we should find out new businesses that Samsung's future will hinge on. | 102 |
Paul Biya | We now need to look beyond our immediate future and aim higher and farther. | 102 |
Rick Wagoner | All this improvement is great, but all that does is get us in the game to play for improvements that we need in the future, so that we can be aggressive in the marketplace. | 102 |
Robert Forster | If you deliver excellence right now, that gives you the best shot at the best future you've got coming. | 102 |
Adam Hasner | If America is truly Israel's greatest ally, we should not be asking it to put its citizens and future at risk by forcing the establishment of a hostile Palestinian state as the only option. | 102 |
Maureen Forrester | Young people can get very discouraged and get hooked on drugs or on alcohol because of problems they perceive as insurmountable. It is important that they realize a mistake need not ruin their future, but they must also know that not everything in life is a bed of roses. | 102 |
Robert Richardson | Sadly, cinemas with film as the primary source are disappearing. We need to remain open to change. That does not require one to divorce the past but to respect and process both the present and the future. | 102 |
Roger Babson | Let him who would enjoy a good future waste none of his present. | 102 |
Anil Kapoor | There are hurdles, there are handicaps, hardships you have to face in life, but you hope for a great future. | 102 |
Mian Muhammad Mansha | The future of the world will belong to whoever can harness energy and food. | 102 |
Saul Steinberg | The artist is an educator of artists of the future who are able to understand and in the process of understanding perform unexpected - the best - evolutions. | 102 |
John Yoo | Nonetheless, Article 5 makes clear that if an Iraqi civilian who is not a member of the armed forces, has engaged in attacks on Coalition forces, the Geneva Convention permits the use of more coercive interrogation approaches to prevent future attacks. | 102 |
Mark Victor Hansen | You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands - your own. | 102 |
Raymond Aron | Foreknowledge of the future makes it possible to manipulate both enemies and supporters. | 102 |
Arthur Wing Pinero | I believe the future is only the past again, entered through another gate. | 102 |
Ashfaq Parvez Kayani | In the ultimate analysis, all of us would have served Pakistan better if history and our future generations judge us positively. | 102 |
John Leonard | Isn't it amazing the way the future succeeds in creating an appropriate past? | 102 |
Julien Benda | I shall go further and say that even if an examination of the past could lead to any valid prediction concerning man's future, that prediction would be the contrary of reassuring. | 102 |
John F. Kennedy | Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future. | 103 |
George Bernard Shaw | We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future. | 103 |
Hillary Clinton | The worst thing that can happen in a democracy - as well as in an individual's life - is to become cynical about the future and lose hope. | 103 |
Lucius Annaeus Seneca | True happiness is... to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future. | 103 |
Nikola Tesla | Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine. | 103 |
Jeff Bezos | What we need to do is always lean into the future; when the world changes around you and when it changes against you - what used to be a tail wind is now a head wind - you have to lean into that and figure out what to do because complaining isn't a strategy. | 103 |
Mattie Stepanek | Keep all special thoughts and memories for lifetimes to come. Share these keepsakes with others to inspire hope and build from the past, which can bridge to the future. | 103 |
Sai Baba | What matters is to live in the present, live now, for every moment is now. It is your thoughts and acts of the moment that create your future. The outline of your future path already exists, for you created its pattern by your past. | 103 |
Samuel Johnson | The mind is never satisfied with the objects immediately before it, but is always breaking away from the present moment, and losing itself in schemes of future felicity... The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope. | 103 |
Alan Rickman | It would be wonderful to think that the future is unknown and sort of surprising. | 103 |
Alfred Adler | Our modern states are preparing for war without even knowing the future enemy. | 103 |
Aneurin Bevan | Reactionary: a man walking backwards with his face to the future. | 103 |
Bill Cosby | There is hope for the future because God has a sense of humor and we are funny to God. | 103 |
Brendon Urie | The future should be exciting, you know? It shouldn't be a nerve-wracking experience. | 103 |
Carl Sandburg | I tell you the past is a bucket of ashes, so live not in your yesterdays, no just for tomorrow, but in the here and now. Keep moving and forget the post mortems; and remember, no one can get the jump on the future. | 103 |
Corrie Ten Boom | Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God. | 103 |
Erwin Rommel | The future battle on the ground will be preceded by battle in the air. This will determine which of the contestants has to suffer operational and tactical disadvantages and be forced throughout the battle into adoption compromise solutions. | 103 |
George Will | The future has a way of arriving unannounced. | 103 |
Henry Miller | Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him. | 103 |
Hugh Grant | If you have a smothering parent, the effect it can apparently have on a child is to give them, in equal doses, a sense of too much self-esteem, because they are mummy's little princess or prince, and low self-esteem. It affects future relationships. | 103 |
Jean de La Fontaine | A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it. | 103 |
Kevin McCloud | We are borrowing money from future generations. We are borrowing the carbon impact, the resource impact from future generations to get stuff cheap now. We have swept the dirt and dust from our society under the carpet - but this carpet is on other side of the planet. | 103 |
Kevin Rudd | On Australia Day 2010, as we enter this second decade of the 21st century, Australians can be optimistic about our future, but we cannot afford to mistake optimism for complacency. | 103 |
Larry David | I was planning on my future as a homeless person. I had a really good spot picked out. | 103 |
Natalie Massenet | One of my goals is that, at a dinner party some time in the future, someone will say, 'Oh, my nephew is starting a ready-to-wear brand', and 20 people will turn around and say, 'Is he? Can we invest?' in the same way that, now, if you were to say, 'My nephew is starting a mobile app,' everyone would say, 'Oh, smashing! Can I invest?' | 103 |
Niels Bohr | Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future. | 103 |
Octavio Paz | Our judgment and moral categories, our idea of the future, our opinions about the present or about justice, peace, or war, everything, without excluding our rejections of Marxism, is impregnated with Marxism. | 103 |
Pauline Neville-Jones | We owe it to the victims of the suicide bombers who struck London on 7 July 2005 to find out how the attacks happened and to learn the lessons that will spare lives in the future. | 103 |
Rob Bell | Suffering, it turns out, demands profound imagination. A new future has to be conjured up because the old future isn't there anymore. | 103 |
Robert H. Schuller | Let your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future. | 103 |
Robert M. Pirsig | To live for some future goal is shallow. It's the sides of the mountain that sustain life, not the top. | 103 |
Rollo May | Depression is the inability to construct a future. | 103 |
Van Morrison | The future is keeping you out of the present time. | 103 |
Vijay Mallya | I run my own world, because I very firmly believe that my destiny, my future is in my hands and I don't want to blame anybody else for the path that I take. | 103 |
Wilbur Wright | I am an enthusiast, but not a crank in the sense that I have some pet theories as to the proper construction of a flying machine. I wish to avail myself of all that is already known and then, if possible, add my mite to help on the future worker who will attain final success. | 103 |
William Gibson | The future has already arrived. It's just not evenly distributed yet. | 103 |
Zygmunt Bauman | The risk of the Holocaust is not that it will be forgotten, but that it will be embalmed and surrounded by monuments and used to absolve all future sins. | 103 |
Alex Rodriguez | Winners live in the present tense. People who come up short are consumed with future or past. I want to be living in the now. | 103 |
Bobby Darin | My philosophy is to take one day at a time. I don't worry about the future. Tomorrow is even out of sight for me. | 103 |
Daisy Ridley | Hope makes people good, a lot of the time. You hope for a brighter future, and resentment is outweighed. | 103 |
Henry Petroski | An over-reliance on past successes is a sure blueprint for future failures. | 103 |
Jack Kemp | There are no limits to our future if we don't put limits on our people. | 103 |
Joel A. Barker | The ultimate function of prophecy is not to tell the future, but to make it. Your successful past will block your visions of the future. | 103 |
John Hancock | The important consequences to the American States from this Declaration of Independence, considered as the ground and foundation of a future government, naturally suggest the propriety of proclaiming it in such a manner as that the people may be universally informed of it. | 103 |
Junot Diaz | In the end, all worlds, whether they're set in the future or in New Jersey of today, are fictions. Sure, you don't got to do too much work to build a mundane world, but don't get it twisted: you still got to do some work. | 103 |
Kalpana Chawla | I stopped thinking about it after trying to figure out what are the lessons learned, and there are so many. After I had basically sorted that out, I figured it's time to really look at the future and not at the past. | 103 |
Li Ka-shing | The future may be made up of many factors but where it truly lies is in the hearts and minds of men. Your dedication should not be confined for your own gain, but unleashes your passion for our beloved country as well as for the integrity and humanity of mankind. | 103 |
Maurice Maeterlinck | At every crossroads on the path that leads to the future, tradition has placed 10,000 men to guard the past. | 103 |
Nathan Wolfe | We've put huge resources into predicting tsunamis, hurricanes, and earthquakes. HIV/AIDS is like an earthquake that's lasted 30 years and touched every country on the planet. We have such incredible capacity to think about the future, it's time we used it to predict biological threats. Otherwise we'll be blindsided again and again. | 103 |
Steve Aoki | 'Neon Future' is, in short, a positive outlook on human progress and technology, looking forward to a bright, colorful utopia. It's embracing the future and looking toward the future in a more optimistic way. | 103 |
Thomas Sankara | It took the madmen of yesterday for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. I want to be one of those madmen. We must dare to invent the future. | 103 |
Tony Judt | Social democracy does not represent an ideal future; it does not even represent the ideal past. | 103 |
Alonzo Mourning | I'm excited about what the future will bring and I think the best is yet to come. | 103 |
Bob Riley | No skill shapes a child's future success in school or in life more than the ability to read. | 103 |
Charlie Dent | We in the United States should be all the more thankful for the freedom and religious tolerance we enjoy. And we should always remember the lessons learned from the Holocaust, in hopes we stay vigilant against such inhumanity now and in the future. | 103 |
Eugenio Montale | I have been judged to be a pessimist but what abyss of ignorance and low egoism is not hidden in one who thinks that Man is the god of himself and that his future can only be triumphant? | 103 |
Fulton Oursler | Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves - regret for the past and fear of the future. | 103 |
Gustav Stresemann | In every man the memory of the struggles and the heroes of the past is alive. But these memories are not incompatible with the desire for peace in the future. | 103 |
Harlan Howard | I'm always collecting emotions for future reference. | 103 |
Jackie Speier | Every day is Earth Day, and I vote we start investing in a secure climate future right now. | 103 |
John Battelle | We all know the future is mobile, right? And the iPhone and iPad are Perfect Expressions of Beauty, Ideal Combinations of Form and Function. Except they're Not. | 103 |
John Travolta | I don't believe in regrets; I believe your future is in your tomorrows. | 103 |
Jose Ortega y Gasset | Life is a series of collisions with the future; it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be. | 103 |
Joseph Pulitzer | The power to mould the future of the Republic will be in the hands of the journalists of future generations. | 103 |
Ken Hensley | I know why I am here and my only real focused goal is to live each day to the fullest and to try and honor God and be an encouragement to others. What the future holds is firmly in God's hands, and I am very happy about that! | 103 |
Kim Dae Jung | Unification is not our present goal. That is a future program. | 103 |
Penelope Keith | I plant a lot of trees. I am a great believer in planting things for future generations. I loathe the now culture where you just live for today. | 103 |
Werner Erhard | Create your future from your future not your past. | 103 |
Atifete Jahjaga | We have to forget the past. History is something that even today we are paying the consequences, and the future is integration. We all as a people, as citizens, as the leadership of both countries should be looking in that direction. | 103 |
Bob Brown | The future will either be green or not at all. | 103 |
Gary Ryan Blair | Your future takes precedence over your past. Focus on your future, rather than on the past. | 103 |
James Wolcott | A lost election can have the jolt of a drop through the gallows door, leading to a dark night of the soul in which the future presses down like a cloud that will never lift. | 103 |
Jay Weatherill | There is an opportunity for us to renew ourselves. There's an opportunity for us to leave the past behind and present something different for the future. | 103 |
Rian Johnson | I mean, the first 'Back to the Future' is kind of a perfect script, I think, in terms of handling time travel the best. It depends on your definition. To me, that means it effectively uses it in the story. | 103 |
Ring Lardner | They gave each other a smile with a future in it. | 103 |
Al Goldstein | Since fame is an illusion and death is in our future all we have is the next moment before we are swallowed into oblivion. | 103 |
Alan Dundes | Future orientation is combined with a notion and expectation of progress, and nothing is impossible. | 103 |
Barbara Grizzuti Harrison | Our awesome responsibility to ourselves, to our children, and to the future is to create ourselves in the image of goodness, because the future depends on the nobility of our imaginings. | 103 |
Bernard Meltzer | When you forgive, you in no way change the past - but you sure do change the future. | 103 |
Mark Kennedy | This enemy of peace in the world today is unlike any we have seen in the past, and our military is learning from, and building on, previous successes while carrying peace and freedom into the future. | 103 |
Alexis Herman | If we can't begin to agree on fundamentals, such as the elimination of the most abusive forms of child labor, then we really are not ready to march forward into the future. | 103 |
Antoine Rivarol | Man spends his life in reasoning on the past, in complaining of the present, in fearing future. | 103 |
Brandon Jenner | Life passes us by if all we do is focus on the future. Being present, for the present, is really what is important. | 103 |
Marc Morial | Technology is permeating every single thing we do... And to the extent that we can better expose our young people to all the different ways that technology can be used, not just for video games or toys, we're planning for the future. | 103 |
Mark Foley | If Turkey is prepared to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide, then its leaders can proceed immediately to direct dialogue with its counterparts in Armenia to define a common vision for the future. | 103 |
Michel Martelly | My way of thinking is to create a situation where we rally everyone together and create peace and pardon people, to not forget about the past - because we need to learn from it - but to mainly think about the future. | 103 |
Johann Gottlieb Fichte | By mere burial man arrives not at bliss; and in the future life, throughout its whole infinite range, they will seek for happiness as vainly as they sought it here, who seek it in aught else than that which so closely surrounds them here - the Infinite. | 103 |
John Hoeven | On Earth Day, we celebrate all the gifts the world and nature make available to us. We recognize our complete dependence on its bounty. And we acknowledge the need for good stewardship to preserve its fruits for future generations. | 103 |
Mark Dayton | The fine print in the President's Social Security proposal is that all present and future workers under age 55 will have their promised retirement benefits cut. | 103 |
Marcel Pagnol | The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be. | 103 |
Julia Ward Howe | I know not why there is such a melancholy feeling attached to the remembrance of past happiness, except that we fear that the future can have nothing so bright as the past. | 103 |
John Galsworthy | If you do not think about your future, you cannot have one. | 103 |
Pope John Paul II | The future starts today, not tomorrow. | 104 |
Wayne Dyer | Go for it now. The future is promised to no one. | 104 |
Victoria Osteen | Children are our future, and God loves the children. | 104 |
Vivienne Westwood | I really don't like women who try to be men. All these politicians, I think they're horrendous. We could have a brilliant future, but we have this terrible male vision of destroying everything. They'd better sort themselves out and become more womanly. | 104 |
Andrew Carnegie | Do your duty and a little more and the future will take care of itself. | 104 |
Mattie Stepanek | Even though the future seems far away, it is actually beginning right now. | 104 |
Swami Sivananda | Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future. | 104 |
Al Gore | When people flirt with despair about the future, they are less likely to take the actions necessary to safeguard it, focusing instead on the short-term. | 104 |
Benazir Bhutto | Pakistan is heir to an intellectual tradition of which the illustrious exponent was the poet and philosopher Mohammad Iqbal. He saw the future course for Islamic societies in a synthesis between adherence to the faith and adjustment to the modern age. | 104 |
Bill Watterson | The problem with the future is that it keeps turning into the present. | 104 |
Bo Bennett | A dream collage is pictures of your goals. It is like your future photo album. | 104 |
Charles Lindbergh | Living in dreams of yesterday, we find ourselves still dreaming of impossible future conquests. | 104 |
Chuck Palahniuk | When did the future switch from being a promise to a threat? | 104 |
Damien Hirst | But I think it's more that when you're young, you're invincible, you're immortal - or at least you think you are. The possibilities are limitless, you're inventing the future. Then you get older and suddenly you have a history. It's fixed. You can't change anything. I find that a bit disturbing, to be honest. | 104 |
Dian Fossey | When you realize the value of all life, you dwell on what is past and concentrate more on the preservation of the future. | 104 |
Elizabeth Warren | Banks were once places to hold money and were very careful in lending to finance families as they built a future - bought homes, bought cars, took out student loans. | 104 |
George Muller | Let no one profess to trust in God, and yet lay up for future wants, otherwise the Lord will first send him to the hoard he has amassed, before He can answer the prayer for more. | 104 |
Heather Brooke | The hacker community may be small, but it possesses the skills that are driving the global economies of the future. | 104 |
Ivan Turgenev | The word tomorrow was invented for indecisive people and for children. | 104 |
Justin Trudeau | Canada was built around a very simple premise. A promise that you can work hard and succeed and build a future for yourselves and your kids, and that future for your kids would be better than the one you had. | 104 |
Kate Reardon | The way you personally communicate is 90 per cent of how you will be evaluated by any future employer. | 104 |

Leonard Bernstein | A liberal is a man or a woman or a child who looks forward to a better day, a more tranquil night, and a bright, infinite future. | 104 |

Nhat Hanh | Usually, people have a tendency to be caught in the worries concerning the future or in the regret concerning the past. There is some kind of energy that is pushing them to run, and they are not able to establish themselves in the present moment. | 104 |
Nicole Kidman | When you relinquish the desire to control your future, you can have more happiness. | 104 |
Shiv Khera | People who wish to go into the future should have two skills to succeed - the ability to deal with people and the ability to sell. | 104 |
Suzanne Collins | I think people respond to dystopian stories because they're ways of acting out anxieties that we have and fears that we have about the future. So much media's coming at you over the Internet, your brain gets overloaded. You don't know what to do with it. And one thing you can do with it is read a story. | 104 |
Sylvia Earle | Humans are the only creatures with the ability to dive deep in the sea, fly high in the sky, send instant messages around the globe, reflect on the past, assess the present and imagine the future. | 104 |
Thor Heyerdahl | I have never been able to grasp the meaning of time. I don't believe it exists. I've felt this again and again, when alone and out in nature. On such occasions, time does not exist. Nor does the future exist. | 104 |
Ulysses S. Grant | Hold fast to the Bible. To the influence of this Book we are indebted for all the progress made in true civilization and to this we must look as our guide in the future. | 104 |
Unknown | The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power. | 104 |
William Gibson | I don't have to write about the future. For most people, the present is enough like the future to be pretty scary. | 104 |
William Morris | The past is not dead, it is living in us, and will be alive in the future which we are now helping to make. | 104 |
Wilma Mankiller | In Iroquois society, leaders are encouraged to remember seven generations in the past and consider seven generations in the future when making decisions that affect the people. | 104 |
Daniel H. Wilson | The poster boy for our superabled future is Oscar Pistorius, an increasingly famous South African sprinter who happens to have had both of his legs amputated below the knee. Using upside down question mark-shaped carbon fiber sprinting prosthetics, called Cheetah blades, Mr. Pistorius can challenge the fastest sprinters in the world. | 104 |
J. G. Ballard | I believe that if it were possible to scrap the whole of existing literature, all writers would find themselves inevitably producing something very close to SF ... No other form of fiction has the vocabulary of ideas and images to deal with the present, let alone the future. | 104 |
Jeff Miller | That future depends on the values of self-government, our sense of duty, loyalty, self-confidence and regard for the common good. We are a diverse country, and getting more diverse. And these virtues are what keep this great country together. | 104 |
Jim Bishop | It is difficult to live in the present, ridiculous to live in the future and impossible to live in the past. Nothing is as far away as one minute ago. | 104 |
Josh McDowell | If Jesus Christ was who He claimed to be, and He did die on a cross at a point of time in history, then, for all history past and all history future it is relevant because that is the very focal point for forgiveness and redemption. | 104 |
Liya Kebede | Investing in women's lives is an investment in sustainable development, in human rights, in future generations - and consequently in our own long-term national interests. | 104 |
Maurice Strong | We owe at least this much to future generations, from whom we have borrowed a fragile planet called Earth. | 104 |
Niklaus Wirth | My duty as a teacher is to train, educate future programmers. | 104 |
Paul Kagame | We cannot turn the clock back nor can we undo the harm caused, but we have the power to determine the future and to ensure that what happened never happens again. | 104 |
Rita Levi-Montalcini | After centuries of dormancy, young women... can now look toward a future moulded by their own hands. | 104 |
Ruth Benedict | We grow in time to trust the future for our answers. | 104 |
Steve Aoki | I like looking at a future where we're expanding our creativity and brightening our lives. I believe that eventually we'll get to a point where we'll be able to live indefinitely through our technology. | 104 |
Adolf Loos | The work of art shows people new directions and thinks of the future. The house thinks of the present. | 104 |
Dhani Jones | I'm living my future as long as you're living in the present and realize how beautiful life is. | 104 |
Donna Shalala | But for me, it is when a student has died. I find the death of a young person the most difficult and painful of times. To explain it to other young people, to see a bright future snuffed out, is just awful. I am haunted by those deaths. | 104 |
Henry Lawson | The children are taught more of the meanest state in Europe than of the country they are born and bred in, despite the singularity of its characteristics, the interest of its history, the rapidity of its advance, and the stupendous promise of its future. | 104 |
Jodi Picoult | As an American I wanted to explore... why are we the only first world country that still has capital punishment? Is it because we're too afraid to really examine the system, or is it because we really truly believe that this is the best way to deter future crime? | 104 |
John Podhoretz | While negativity is politically useful, it is also demoralizing unless it is accompanied - and to some extent overshadowed - by elevated and inspiring ideas about the American future. | 104 |
Kylie Bax | Kiwis must not fall behind the standards of other countries. We pride ourselves on our quality of life. Thus we must pave the road in the right way for the future generations. | 104 |
Marya Mannes | The earth we abuse and the living things we kill will, in the end, take their revenge; for in exploiting their presence we are diminishing our future. | 104 |
Ramez Naam | 'Brave New World' dealt with a kind of proto-genetic engineering of the unborn, through really, as many dystopias do, it dealt with totalitarianism. The 1997 film 'Gattaca' updated 'Brave New World,' bringing us to a future where genetic testing determined your job, your wealth, your status in life. | 104 |
Sarah MacLean | No matter how troubled a character's history, romance novels tell us, love can be built upon it, and happily-ever-after can result. What's more, the darker the past, the brighter the future - and the better the read. | 104 |
Adam Osborne | The future lies in designing and selling computers that people don't realize are computers at all. | 104 |
Joichi Ito | Most creative work is a process of people passing ideas and inspirations from the past into the future and adding their own creativity along the way. | 104 |
Linda Lingle | But before looking to the future, let's glance back at the road we've traveled these past two years because that is the source of much of the optimism we are all feeling about the future. | 104 |
Barbara Grizzuti Harrison | True revolutionaries are like God - they create the world in their own image. Our awesome responsibility to ourselves, to our children, and to the future is to create ourselves in the image of goodness, because the future depends on the nobility of our imaginings. | 104 |
Matteo Renzi | Italy remained attached to conservatism. It had a political class that lived in the past and didn't build the future. The past is our strength, but it risks becoming our ruin if we walk with our heads turned backwards. | 104 |
Max Stirner | The men of the future will yet fight their way to many a liberty that we do not even miss. | 104 |
James Woods | I think the iPhone was as significant an invention as the Gutenburg press, in terms of the future of humanity. | 104 |
John Lithgow | I'm very concerned for the future of the earth and its amazing creatures. We've got to be careful and make sure we don't foul our own nest. | 104 |
Marilyn Ferguson | Your past is not your potential. In any hour you can choose to liberate the future. | 104 |
Arnold Schwarzenegger | The future is green energy, sustainability, renewable energy. | 105 |
Isaac Asimov | Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition. | 105 |
Aung San Suu Kyi | Whatever help we may want from the international community now or in the future, we want to make sure that this help is tailored to help our people to help themselves. | 105 |
B. F. Skinner | Must we wait for selection to solve the problems of overpopulation, exhaustion of resources, pollution of the environment and a nuclear holocaust, or can we take explicit steps to make our future more secure? In the latter case, must we not transcend selection? | 105 |
John Maynard Keynes | The importance of money flows from it being a link between the present and the future. | 105 |
Maria Montessori | If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man's future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual's total development lags behind? | 105 |
Zora Neale Hurston | The present was an egg laid by the past that had the future inside its shell. | 105 |
Al Gore | There is the natural tendency that all of us are vulnerable to, to deny unpleasant realities and to look for any excuse to push them away and resolve to think about them another day long in the future. | 105 |
Alan Greenspan | People don't realize that we cannot forecast the future. What we can do is have probabilities of what causes what, but that's as far as we go. And I've had a very successful career as a forecaster, starting in 1948 forward. The number of mistakes I have made are just awesome. There is no number large enough to account for that. | 105 |
Ambrose Bierce | Future. That period of time in which our affairs prosper, our friends are true and our happiness is assured. | 105 |
America Ferrera | When you finish a series like 'Ugly Betty,' there are so many voices around you telling you what you should be doing next and what would be good for your future, sometimes you can't hear yourself. I've gotten pretty good at tuning everyone else out. Now it's just me; what pleases me creatively. | 105 |
B. H. Liddell Hart | In should be the duty of every soldier to reflect on the experiences of the past, in the endeavor to discover improvements, in his particular sphere of action, which are practicable in the immediate future. | 105 |
Barbara Jordan | We are a people in a quandary about the present. We are a people in search of our future. We are a people in search of a national community. | 105 |
Bayard Rustin | The barometer for judging the character of people, in regard human rights, is now those who consider themselves gay, homosexual, lesbian. The judgment as to whether you can trust the future, the social advancement - depending on people - will be judged on where they come out on that question. | 105 |
Charles Lindbergh | Life is a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of a future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter. | 105 |
Dan Brown | Futurists don't consider overpopulation one of the issues of the future. They consider it the issue of the future. | 105 |
Darrell Royal | I never have planned a whole lot of future. It's one day at a time. | 105 |
David Suzuki | The human brain now holds the key to our future. We have to recall the image of the planet from outer space: a single entity in which air, water, and continents are interconnected. That is our home. | 105 |
Frances O'Grady | The TUC's new slogan 'a future that works' sets a profound challenge. Austerity and rapid deficit reduction is failing in its own terms, but even at its best it is short-sighted, muddle-through politics with no vision of a new economic model. | 105 |
Gianni Versace | I am not interested in the past, except as the road to the future. | 105 |
Kevin Rudd | Because the time has come, well and truly come, for all peoples of our great country, for all citizens of our great commonwealth, for all Australians - those who are indigenous and those who are not - to come together to reconcile and together build a new future for our nation. | 105 |
Lea Michele | I would tell 17-year-olds to be proud of who you are. Don't try to change yourself for others. Focus on school and your future. Boys and friends will come and go, just focus on you and your future. | 105 |
Loretta Lynch | We all have a responsibility to protect endangered species, both for their sake and for the sake of our own future generations. | 105 |
Najib Razak | Together we will act to bring about national reconciliation, secure Malaysia's economic future, and build a stronger, more harmonious society. | 105 |
Nayvadius Cash | I just want to be an inspiration. I'm a rock star, I'm Future Hendrix. | 105 |
Os Guinness | Like a precious family heirloom, freedom is not just ours to enjoy, but to treasure, protect, and pass on to future generations. | 105 |
Paul Valery | The future, like everything else, is not what it used to be. | 105 |
Paul Weller | I'm sure there's a subconscious 'go for it' thing with turning 50. You want to do as much as possible and there are thoughts of how little time we have on the planet. For a lot of musicians in their 50s, the best days are behind them. I'd like to try and show that there is a future. | 105 |
Q'orianka Kilcher | Instead of locking people up and throwing away the key, it's important to invest in them and show them another way - show them what they can do, instead of telling them what they can't do. Because by investing in youth, we're investing into the future of this great nation of the United States of America. | 105 |
Rebecca Solnit | To be hopeful means to be uncertain about the future, to be tender toward possibilities, to be dedicated to change all the way down to the bottom of your heart. | 105 |
Victoria Woodhull | If Congress refuse to listen to and grant what women ask, there is but one course left then to pursue. What is there left for women to do but to become the mothers of the future government? | 105 |
Wilfrid Laurier | Let them look to the past, but let them also look to the future; let them look to the land of their ancestors, but let them look also to the land of their children. | 105 |
William Hague | Inspiring scenes of people taking the future of their countries into their own hands will ignite greater demands for good governance and political reform elsewhere in the world, including in Asia and in Africa. | 105 |
Wilma Mankiller | I don't think anybody anywhere can talk about the future of their people or of an organization without talking about education. Whoever controls the education of our children controls our future. | 105 |
Alexa Von Tobel | A good financial plan is a road map that shows us exactly how the choices we make today will affect our future. | 105 |
Anna Freud | We live trapped, between the churned-up and examined past and a future that waits for our work. | 105 |
Dario Argento | Horror is the future. And you cannot be afraid. You must push everything to the absolute limit, or else life will be boring. People will be boring. Horror is like a serpent: always shedding its skin, always changing. And it will always come back. It can't be hidden away like the guilty secrets we try to keep in our subconscious. | 105 |
Joshua Chamberlain | The power of noble deeds is to be preserved and passed on to the future. | 105 |
Pranab Mukherjee | As Indians, we must of course learn from the past; but we must remain focused on the future. In my view, education is the true alchemy that can bring India its next golden age. | 105 |
Richard Lamm | Roads are necessary, but the fact that we don't fully recognize that when you build a road you're doing more than building a road - you're building the future development of your city. And, that's what's never dawned on people. It still doesn't, in a way. | 105 |
Suzy Menkes | As the fashion carousel spins ever faster, the concern is that, while the stream of newness never runs out, there's going to be a good deal more crash and burn among designers in the future. | 105 |
Tracey Ullman | Why does everyone think the future is space helmets, silver foil, and talking like computers, like a bad episode of Star Trek? | 105 |
Adam Hamilton | We don't need mandatory, non-sectarian prayers read over the loudspeaker to 'put God back in schools.' God never left the schools. God is still at work through the hundreds of thousands of gifted teachers and administrators, committed parents, and passionate volunteers who seek to help give our children 'a future with hope.' | 105 |
George Allen, Sr. | Forget the past - the future will give you plenty to worry about. | 105 |
Ken Adam | The Berlin of the '20s formed the foundation of my future education... the Berlin of the UFA studios, of Fritz Lang, Lubitsch and Erich Pommer. The Berlin of the architects Gropius, Mendelsohn and Mies van der Rohe. The Berlin of the painters Max Libermann, Grosz, Otto Dix, Klee and Kandinsky. | 105 |
Kevin Love | The more downtime we have, the more time you have to play games like 'Ghost Recon Future Soldiers,' so for me it's a fun way to get integrated into video games and for me to have fun with my buddies and team up and go into battle with 'em, kind of like out there on court. | 105 |
Sharad Pawar | BJP is a national party which runs the central government, and if I can take a decision on the future of all these parties, I must be a capable person. I am grateful that everybody is accepting my capability. | 105 |
Stone Gossard | It would be great to take one city street and turn it into a pedestrian corridor and see what kind of effect it has on the businesses in that area - It's the future I think. | 105 |
Colbie Caillat | I don't take relationships too seriously, but everyone else seems to. And when you get your heart broken, it's like the end of the world. And I look at it as that was one moment in your life, one chapter. That person helped you grow and figure out what kind of person you want to be with in the future. | 105 |
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf | The people of Liberia know what it means to be deprived of clean water, but we also know what it means to see our children to begin to smile again with a restoration of hope and faith in the future. | 105 |
Dan Quayle | It's a question of whether we're going to go forward into the future, or past to the back. | 106 |
Eckhart Tolle | You can always cope with the present moment, but you cannot cope with something that is only a mind projection - you cannot cope with the future. | 106 |
John Dewey | Education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living. | 106 |
Neil deGrasse Tyson | You can't have people making decisions about the future of the world who are scientifically illiterate. That's a recipe for disaster. And I don't mean just whether a politician is scientifically literate, but people who vote politicians into office. | 106 |
Pope Francis | We must restore hope to young people, help the old, be open to the future, spread love. Be poor among the poor. We need to include the excluded and preach peace. | 106 |
Marshall McLuhan | We drive into the future using only our rearview mirror. | 106 |
Ariel Sharon | But there's one thing we are not going to compromise at all: when it comes to security of Israeli citizens and the State of Israel, there are not going to be any compromises - not now and not in the future. | 106 |
Barbara Jordan | We are a party of innovation. We do not reject our traditions, but we are willing to adapt to changing circumstances, when change we must. We are willing to suffer the discomfort of change in order to achieve a better future. | 106 |
Bhumibol Adulyadej | Therefore, I think that in the celebration of the 50 years of the present reign, there must be research on the changes that the country has undergone, and in the future, it could be used as a lesson for our future actions. | 106 |
Curtis LeMay | Sometime in the future - 25, 50, 75 years hence - what will the situation be like then? By that time the Chinese will have the capability of delivery too. | 106 |
David Cameron | After the Berlin Wall came down I visited that city and I will never forget it. The abandoned checkpoints. The sense of excitement about the future. The knowledge that a great continent was coming together. Healing those wounds of our history is the central story of the European Union. | 106 |
David Whyte | Poetry is often the art of overhearing yourself say things you didn't know you knew. It is a learned skill to force yourself to articulate your life, your present world or your possibilities for the future. | 106 |
Earl Nightingale | Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored. | 106 |
Fidel Castro | A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past. | 106 |
Fred Rogers | Parents are like shuttles on a loom. They join the threads of the past with threads of the future and leave their own bright patterns as they go. | 106 |
Greg Boyle | Even gang members imagine a future that doesn't include gangs. | 106 |
Gunter Grass | We already have the statistics for the future: the growth percentages of pollution, overpopulation, desertification. The future is already in place. | 106 |
H. G. Wells | Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race. | 106 |
Heinz Guderian | Whenever in future wars the battle is fought, armored troops will play the decisive role. | 106 |
Kris Carr | Yes, I have cancer and it might not go away, but I can still have a future because life goes on. | 106 |
Margot Robbie | I've got big, big dreams for the future. | 106 |
Michael Gove | One of the problems we've had is that the ICT curriculum in the past has been written for a subject that is changing all the time. I think that what we should have is computer science in the future - and how it fits in to the curriculum is something we need to be talking to scientists, to experts in coding and to young people about. | 106 |
Najib Razak | Many young Muslims see no opportunities for themselves and do not feel they have control over their lives or a stake in their nation's future. Such pessimism leads to disengagement. We risk losing a generation of young Muslims to apathy and extremism. | 106 |
Tinie Tempah | When I was about 14 I remember thinking when it came to proposing to my future girlfriend, I'd make a CD with all her favourite songs and a message that said, 'Will you marry me?' Shows you what a romantic I was. No one listens to CDs any more. It's all about iTunes. | 106 |
Wendy Kopp | Few things are more important to our country's future than recruiting and keeping great teachers in our schools. | 106 |
Ahmed Zewail | Investing in science education and curiosity-driven research is investing in the future. | 106 |
Brandon Boyd | No one's played on the moon yet. No one's played in zero gravity. Some bands have played at the Pyramids of Giza, but we'd very much like to do that in the near future. | 106 |
Damon Albarn | It always struck me that Africa was, in a strange way, a futuristic place and had elements and vibes and spirits that were going to inform the future. Africa Express is an attempt to engage that power outside Africa, and for everyone to benefit from it. | 106 |
Daniel H. Wilson | In the future, when Microsoft leaves a security-flaw in their code it won't mean that somebody hacks your computer. It will mean that somebody takes control of your servant robot and it stands in your bedroom doorway sharpening a knife and watching you sleep. | 106 |
Emily Oster | Every time you have a carrot instead of a cookie, every time you go to the gym instead of going to the movies, that's a costly investment in your health. But how much you want to invest is going to depend on how much longer you expect to live in the future, even if you don't make those investments. | 106 |
Mariella Frostrup | Mixed messages are just part and parcel of the romantic terrain, and rather than berate yourself for any crossed wires, you'd do better to work on your future resilience. | 106 |
Allyson Felix | It was not until the end of my freshman year in high school that I thought I could really have a future in track and field. I definitely did not think I could make it to the Olympics back then, though; I was just focused on making it to the state finals! | 106 |
Bharati Mukherjee | In traditional Hindu families like ours, men provided and women were provided for. My father was a patriarch and I a pliant daughter. The neighborhood I'd grown up in was homogeneously Hindu, Bengali-speaking, and middle-class. I didn't expect myself to ever disobey or disappoint my father by setting my own goals and taking charge of my future. | 106 |
LaToya Jackson | The end of the trial and the 'not guilty' verdicts on all counts, clearing Michael of all charges, mean that he can now concentrate on the future and his art. | 106 |
Maxim Gorky | Only mothers can think of the future - because they give birth to it in their children. | 106 |
Sun Myung Moon | My mission is a cosmic mission. My concern is for all of humanity, and not only this present world, but the world hereafter. My mission penetrates the past, present, and future, and encompasses all humanity. | 106 |
Alex Trebek | My life is what it is, and I can't change it. I can change the future, but I can't do anything about the past. | 106 |
Jonny Greenwood | I fell in love with electronics, which for me was the terra incognita, because I had never heard such sounds. If you'd asked me 50 years ago, I would have said the future of music is only electronic, but I would have been wrong. I learnt how to produce everything I needed with live instrumentalists, so I don't need electronics. | 106 |
Lyndon B. Johnson | If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it. | 107 |
Michelle Obama | If my future were determined just by my performance on a standardized test, I wouldn't be here. I guarantee you that. | 107 |
Thich Nhat Hanh | People sacrifice the present for the future. But life is available only in the present. That is why we should walk in such a way that every step can bring us to the here and the now. | 107 |
Alvin Toffler | Future shock is the shattering stress and disorientation that we induce in individuals by subjecting them to too much change in too short a time. | 107 |
Carine Roitfeld | Pregnancy is something that I always love. It's about hope and the future and a new baby. | 107 |
Christopher Walken | There are people who are able to plan their career, their future, but I've never had any talent for that. I just do things and hope for the best. Say yes, take a chance, and sometimes it's terrific and sometimes it's not. | 107 |
Dale Earnhardt | It's just really hard to work and get better, building and planning for the future with the new Monte Carlo and keeping the race team intact and keeping them healthy. | 107 |
Dee Hock | Success follows those adept at preserving the substance of the past by clothing it in the forms of the future. | 107 |
Eliot Spitzer | The Republican argument that raising the debt ceiling encourages additional future spending is logically irresponsible. The debt ceiling has to be raised to authorize spending already approved by Congress. Despite that fallacy, the GOP has been able to score political points with its argument. | 107 |
Ellen Key | The decisive factor for the future of Europe - and before all things, for the 'restoration' of Europe - will be whether political thought and national feelings are influenced by the reality of internationalism. | 107 |
Freeman Dyson | I see a bright future for the biotechnology industry when it follows the path of the computer industry, the path that von Neumann failed to foresee, becoming small and domesticated rather than big and centralized. | 107 |
Gillian Jacobs | Nobody knows what the future is except for wizards. | 107 |
Harriet Beecher Stowe | The past, the present and the future are really one: they are today. | 107 |
Jean-Claude Van Damme | The action films I will make in the future will be more believable and character-based. I am now on my second cycle of fame, and I want to make films that smell real and are truthful. | 107 |
Louise L. Hay | Every thought we think is creating our future. | 107 |
Madonna Ciccone | I didn't have many friends; I might not have had any friends. But it all turned out good in the end, because when you aren't popular and you don't have a social life, it gives you more time to focus on your future. | 107 |
Paul Hawken | Sustainability, ensuring the future of life on Earth, is an infinite game, the endless expression of generosity on behalf of all. | 107 |
Ralph Nader | Up against the corporate government, voters find themselves asked to choose between look-alike candidates from two parties vying to see who takes the marching orders from their campaign paymasters and their future employers. The money of vested interest nullifies genuine voter choice and trust. | 107 |
Raquel Welch | I have a very, very good life. I'm grateful for all of my friends, my family and the life that I have, and the possibilities in my future. | 107 |
Robert Dallek | Kennedy saw the presidency as the vital center of government, and a president's primary goal as galvanizing commitments to constructive change. He aimed to move the country and the world toward a more peaceful future, not just through legislation but through inspiration. | 107 |
Samantha Power | We know that often holding those who have carried out mass atrocities accountable is at times our best tool to prevent future atrocities. | 107 |
Seneca | Enjoy present pleasures in such a way as not to injure future ones. | 107 |
Ted Nugent | Use your lives wisely, my friends, and conserve these precious freedoms for future generations. | 107 |
Tim Berners-Lee | The Web as I envisaged it, we have not seen it yet. The future is still so much bigger than the past. | 107 |
Tom Wilson | I try not to worry about the future - so I take each day just one anxiety attack at a time. | 107 |
Vijay Mallya | One of India's biggest advantages is our young demographic and that we have a youthful population that is indeed our future. | 107 |
Warren Bennis | The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment. | 107 |
Wilfrid Laurier | I claim for Canada this, that in future Canada shall be at liberty to act or not act, to interfere or not interfere, to do just as she pleases, and that she shall reserve to herself the right to judge whether or not there is cause for her to act. | 107 |
Danielle Steel | If you can see the magic in a fairytale, you can face the future. | 107 |
Diplo | I'm trying to always do new things because if you stay behind and fight the future, you are just going to be left behind. | 107 |
Erin O'Connor | As I began to get a deeper understanding of the vital life-saving work Save the Children does, I felt compelled to help in any way I could. This is about safe-keeping, inspiring and empowering a future generation - to facilitate them to make their own lives a little bit better. | 107 |
Jack Dorsey | I think Twitter is the future of communications and Square will be the payment network. | 107 |
Joshua Chamberlain | We know not of the future and cannot plan for it much. | 107 |
Martin O'Malley | Progress is a choice. Job creation is a choice. Whether we give our children a future of more or a future of less - this, too, is a choice. | 107 |
Ruth Benedict | Our faith in the present dies out long before our faith in the future. | 107 |
Sarah Parcak | There's even an aircraft sensor system that sends down hundreds of thousands of pulses of light measured at different return rates. It allows you to literally strip away vegetation and see entire cities beneath the rain forest canopy. This is the unbelievable future of archaeology. | 107 |
Solomon Ibn Gabirol | Many men hoard for the future husbands of their wives. | 107 |
Terrence Howard | My future's about trying to be a better man. | 107 |
Tryon Edwards | Right actions in the future are the best apologies for bad actions in the past. | 107 |
Ann Hood | Since my brother died in 1982, my parents and I had formed a shaky tripod of a family; now that I'd lost my father too, it was too easy for me to glimpse a future point where I alone was the keeper of not just my own childhood memories, but of my family lore. | 107 |
Jeff Rich | The one thing we know about the future is that it comes only one day at a time. | 107 |
Jennifer Granholm | The civil unrest of recent days must come to an end, and the healing process must begin for the future of the community. We will provide assistance both in ending the violence and enabling the healing process in Benton Harbor. | 107 |
James Howard Kunstler | Neurologically, people have a need to feel oriented, to know where they are, not just in terms of a compass and not just in terms of geography, but in terms of their culture and history. To be informed about where they're coming from and to have some glimpse towards a hopeful future. | 107 |
Letitia Elizabeth Landon | Everything that looks to the future elevates human nature; for life is never so low or so little as when occupied with the present. | 107 |
Richard Attias | If women are the key to Africa's future - and I believe they are - we must figure out how to take away the barriers to their participation. | 107 |
Justin Rosenstein | I do not doubt that services like social games and coupons bring delight to people's lives, and I mean no disrespect to the hard work that has made them possible. But in the face of threats to humanity's future on the one hand and the extraordinary potential of mankind on the other, at some point we must ask: are we capable of more? | 107 |
Steve Jobs | You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life. | 108 |
Thomas Jefferson | I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past. | 108 |
Bob Marley | Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny. | 108 |
Elon Musk | The future of humanity is going to bifurcate in two directions: Either it's going to become multiplanetary, or it's going to remain confined to one planet and eventually there's going to be an extinction event. | 108 |
Dave Barry | The Internet: transforming society and shaping the future through chat. | 108 |
Denis Waitley | A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown. | 108 |
Richard P. Feynman | We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on. | 108 |
Yogi Berra | The future ain't what it used to be. | 108 |
Amy Grant | I can look at the future with anticipation. And it's comforting to know that someday, as Christians, we'll be able to look back and have a little more clarity on why certain things in life happened. | 108 |
Barbara Mikulski | Community colleges are one of America's great social inventions a gateway to the future for first time students looking for an affordable college education, and for mid-career students looking to get ahead in the workplace. | 108 |
Bill Nye | Science is the key to our future, and if you don't believe in science, then you're holding everybody back. | 108 |
Casey Stengel | Never make predictions, especially about the future. | 108 |
Christian Nestell Bovee | When all else is lost, the future still remains. | 108 |
Colin Farrell | But I dare not think too far into the future on the risk that I'll miss the present. | 108 |
Dean Kamen | Everybody has to be able to participate in a future that they want to live for. That's what technology can do. | 108 |
Dick Van Dyke | I've been talking about retiring for years. It's my standard answer to the question, 'What are your future plans?' The truth is, I'll always want to do things that are worthwhile or fun. | 108 |
E. B. White | I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. | 108 |
Evgeny Morozov | One possible future for WikiLeaks is to morph into a gigantic media intermediary - perhaps, even something of a clearing house for investigative reporting - where even low-level leaks would be matched with the appropriate journalists to pursue and report on them and, perhaps, even with appropriate NGOs to advocate on their causes. | 108 |
Graydon Carter | My hunch is that pop culture began to stagnate the moment Americans started to love the past more than they did the future. | 108 |
Henri Frederic Amiel | Everything you need for better future and success has already been written. And guess what? All you have to do is go to the library. | 108 |
Horace | Cease to inquire what the future has in store, and take as a gift whatever the day brings forth. | 108 |
Jacques Yves Cousteau | If we were logical, the future would be bleak, indeed. But we are more than logical. We are human beings, and we have faith, and we have hope, and we can work. | 108 |
Mike Rowe | I'm looking forward to the future, and feeling grateful for the past. | 108 |
Paul Mooney | I can't change the past, but one person can change the future - anything can happen. | 108 |
Peter Singer | My own view is that being a vegetarian or vegan is not an end in itself, but a means towards reducing both human and animal suffering and leaving a habitable planet to future generations. | 108 |
Ray Kurzweil | Our intuition about the future is linear. But the reality of information technology is exponential, and that makes a profound difference. If I take 30 steps linearly, I get to 30. If I take 30 steps exponentially, I get to a billion. | 108 |
Tadao Ando | I think of the past and the future as well as the present to determine where I am, and I move on while thinking of these things. | 108 |
Thomas Friedman | Lord knows there's a lot of bad news in the world today to get you down, but there is one big thing happening that leaves me incredibly hopeful about the future, and that is the budding revolution in global online higher education. | 108 |
Tom Wilson | There's no future in spending our present worrying about our past. | 108 |
Annie Lennox | The future hasn't happened yet and the past is gone. So I think the only moment we have is right here and now, and I try to make the best of those moments, the moments that I'm in. | 108 |
Elias Canetti | The planet's survival has become so uncertain that any effort, any thought that presupposes an assured future amounts to a mad gamble. | 108 |
Jane Fonda | It's about time we make the well-being of our young people more important than ideology and politics. As a country, we benefit from investing in their future by investing in teen pregnancy prevention. | 108 |
John Carmack | The cost of adding a feature isn't just the time it takes to code it. The cost also includes the addition of an obstacle to future expansion. The trick is to pick the features that don't fight each other. | 108 |
Jon Meacham | A lot of people, including business leaders, think the future belongs to China. Globalization is not a zero-sum game, but we need to hone our skills to stay in play. | 108 |
Leonard Mlodinow | I find that predicting the course of our lives is like predicting the weather. You might be able to predict your future in the short term, but the longer you look ahead, the less likely you are to be correct. | 108 |
Sean Bean | There's a wealth of literature out there which, hopefully, will be, you know, exploded in the future, and I personally find it very rewarding to be involved with classic storytelling, and sort of legendary characters. | 108 |
Anita Brookner | Life... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply won't be got rid of. | 108 |
James Buchan | In rising financial markets, the world is forever new. The bull or optimist has no eyes for past or present, but only for the future, where streams of revenue play in his imagination. | 108 |
Alan Watts | No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now. | 109 |
Albert Camus | Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future. | 109 |
Kid Cudi | My background is not typical hip-hop. I didn't grow up in the projects. I grew up in a single family home in a middle-class suburb. That doesn't mean I didn't experience hardship, but to me it's not about that, it's about the future and where we are trying to take it. | 109 |
Angela Merkel | The euro is our common fate, and Europe is our common future. | 109 |
Anne Morrow Lindbergh | America, which has the most glorious present still existing in the world today, hardly stops to enjoy it, in her insatiable appetite for the future. | 109 |
Anne Sullivan | The immediate future is going to be tragic for all of us unless we find a way of making the vast educational resources of this country serve the true purpose of education, truth and justice. | 109 |
Benazir Bhutto | Pakistan's future viability, stability and security lie in empowering its people and building political institutions. My goal is to prove that the fundamental battle for the hearts and minds of a generation can be accomplished only under democracy. | 109 |
Charles Kettering | My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there. | 109 |
Dee Dee Myers | I look forward to a time, in the not so distant future, when we no longer look forward to 'firsts' as milestones women have yet to achieve, but we look back on them as historic events that continue to teach and inspire. | 109 |
Patrick Henry | I know of no way of judging the future but by the past. | 109 |
Peter Lynch | I've found that when the market's going down and you buy funds wisely, at some point in the future you will be happy. You won't get there by reading 'Now is the time to buy.' | 109 |
Queen Rania of Jordan | When you deprive people of their right to live in dignity, to hope for a better future, to have control over their lives, when you deprive them of that choice, then you expect them to fight for these rights. | 109 |
Ratan Tata | I have always been very confident and very upbeat about the future potential of India. I think it is a great country with great potential. | 109 |
Tadao Ando | If I can create some space that people haven't experienced before and if it stays with them or gives them a dream for the future, that's the kind of structure I seek to create. | 109 |
Ted Cruz | Hispanic unemployment is higher than the national average and when the federal government is killing small businesses and killing jobs it is hurting the future of the Hispanic community and we need to carry that message. | 109 |
David Brainerd | A few of the sublimest geniuses of Rome and Athens had some faint discoveries of the spiritual nature of the human soul, and formed some probable conjectures, that man was designed for a future state of existence. | 109 |
Jose Andres | I'm always looking to the future and what will next be on the horizon. | 109 |
Jose Ortega y Gasset | Life is an operation which is done in a forward direction. One lives toward the future, because to live consists inexorably in doing, in each individual life making itself. | 109 |
Robert Smithson | Instead of causing us to remember the past like the old monuments, the new monuments seem to cause us to forget the future. | 109 |
John F. Kennedy | I look forward to a great future for America - a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose. | 110 |
Marcus Aurelius | Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present. | 110 |
Peter Drucker | The only thing we know about the future is that it will be different. | 110 |
Steven Wright | I was a peripheral visionary. I could see the future, but only way off to the side. | 110 |
Ann Landers | Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead, that is where your future lies. | 110 |
Anne Morrow Lindbergh | The wave of the future is coming and there is no fighting it. | 110 |
Barbara Jordan | We have a positive vision of the future founded on the belief that the gap between the promise and reality of America can one day be finally closed. We believe that. | 110 |
Camille Paglia | Does art have a future? Performance genres like opera, theater, music and dance are thriving all over the world, but the visual arts have been in slow decline for nearly 40 years. No major figure of profound influence has emerged in painting or sculpture since the waning of Pop Art and the birth of Minimalism in the early 1970s. | 110 |
Debbie Ford | An exciting and inspiring future awaits you beyond the noise in your mind, beyond the guilt, doubt, fear, shame, insecurity and heaviness of the past you carry around. | 110 |
Frank Herbert | Religion often partakes of the myth of progress that shields us from the terrors of an uncertain future. | 110 |
Joseph Joubert | We must respect the past, and mistrust the present, if we wish to provide for the safety of the future. | 110 |
Larry Page | Lots of companies don't succeed over time. What do they fundamentally do wrong? They usually miss the future. | 110 |
Michio Kaku | The job market of the future will consist of those jobs that robots cannot perform. Our blue-collar work is pattern recognition, making sense of what you see. Gardeners will still have jobs because every garden is different. The same goes for construction workers. The losers are white-collar workers, low-level accountants, brokers, and agents. | 110 |
Norman Foster | Surveys often show people would prefer a detached house with a lawn and driveway to an apartment. I understand this. It's not my place to presume to tell people where they can live. But perhaps that dream will simply not be possible in the future. | 110 |
Paul Bloom | Too often, our concern for specific individuals today means neglecting crises that will harm countless people in the future. | 110 |
Scott Walker | What has made America amazing has been the fact that throughout our history, throughout the more than 200 years of our history, there have been men and women of courage who stood up and decided it was more important to look out for the future of their children and their grandchildren than their own political futures. | 110 |
Sharon Salzberg | We can have skills training in mindfulness so that we are using our attention to perceive something in the present moment. This perception is not so latent by fears or projections into the future, or old habits, and then I can actually stir loving-kindness or compassion in skills training too, which can be sort of provocative, I found. | 110 |
James Surowiecki | Life insurance became popular only when insurance companies stopped emphasizing it as a good investment and sold it instead as a symbolic commitment by fathers to the future well-being of their families. | 110 |
Jason Silva | The scientist and engineers who are building the future need the poets to make sense of it. | 110 |
Bob Riley | In a time of tight budgets, difficult choices have to be made. We must make sure our very limited resources are spent on priorities. I believe we should have no higher priority than investing in our children's classrooms and in their future. | 110 |
Jackie Mason | Predictions are preposterous. | 110 |
Steve Jobs | Everyone here has the sense that right now is one of those moments when we are influencing the future. | 111 |
Alan Watts | I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is. | 111 |
Bob Dylan | I don't think the human mind can comprehend the past and the future. They are both just illusions that can manipulate you into thinking theres some kind of change. | 111 |
Thomas Hobbes | The flesh endures the storms of the present alone; the mind, those of the past and future as well as the present. Gluttony is a lust of the mind. | 111 |
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam | Creativity is the key to success in the future, and primary education is where teachers can bring creativity in children at that level. | 111 |
Jimmy Carter | Republicans are men of narrow vision, who are afraid of the future. | 111 |
Rainer Maria Rilke | The future enters into us, in order to transform itself in us, long before it happens. | 111 |
Adam Savage | Prayer doesn't work because someone out there is listening, it works because someone in here is listening. I've paid attention. I've pictured what I want to happen in my life. I've meditated extensively on my family, my future, my past actions and what did and didn't work for me about them. | 111 |
Aneurin Bevan | Fascism is not in itself a new order of society. It is the future refusing to be born. | 111 |
Benazir Bhutto | The next few months are critical to Pakistan's future direction as a democratic state committed to promoting peace, fighting terrorism and working for social justice. | 111 |
Edward de Bono | In the future, instead of striving to be right at a high cost, it will be more appropriate to be flexible and plural at a lower cost. If you cannot accurately predict the future then you must flexibly be prepared to deal with various possible futures. | 111 |
Jon Bon Jovi | Map out your future - but do it in pencil. The road ahead is as long as you make it. Make it worth the trip. | 111 |
Justin Trudeau | When I get out across the country and listen to people, the resentment that I see and the frustration that I see is that we have a generation of people who are fairly convinced that their kids are not going to have a better quality of life or a better future than they will. | 111 |
Kailash Satyarthi | Every child matters. If we fail our children, we are bound to fail our present, our future, faith, cultures, and civilisations as well. | 111 |
Michael Bloomberg | The politics of partisanship and the resulting inaction and excuses have paralyzed decision-making, primarily at the federal level, and the big issues of the day are not being addressed, leaving our future in jeopardy. | 111 |
Nancy Pelosi | What we're discussing privately and publicly, is a budget which is a blueprint for the future which creates jobs, which educates our children, which provides healthcare for all Americans, which takes our deficit down, which gives a tax cut for 95% of the American people. | 111 |
Newt Gingrich | We're at the crossroads. Down one road is a European centralized bureaucratic socialist welfare system in which politicians and bureaucrats define the future. Down the other road is a proud, solid, reaffirmation of American exceptionalism. | 111 |
Nicole Kidman | I'm not sure what the future holds but I do know that I'm going to be positive and not wake up feeling desperate. As my dad said 'Nic, it is what it is, it's not what it should have been, not what it could have been, it is what it is.' | 111 |
Thornton Wilder | The future author is one who discovers that language, the exploration and manipulation of the resources of language, will serve him in winning through to his way. | 111 |
Tyra Banks | As I look into the future, I see radical changes in both how people 'attain beauty,' and how the world perceives beauty. In general, I believe traditional beauty will be less valuable - and more uniqueness will be heralded. | 111 |
Gary Hamel | Today, no leader can afford to be indifferent to the challenge of engaging employees in the work of creating the future. Engagement may have been optional in the past, but it's pretty much the whole game today. | 111 |
J. G. Ballard | Orwell's '1984' convinced me, rightly or wrongly, that Marxism was only a quantum leap away from tyranny. By contrast, Huxley's 'Brave New World' suggested that the totalitarian systems of the future might be subservient and ingratiating. | 111 |
James Dobson | Children are not casual guests in our home. They have been loaned to us temporarily for the purpose of loving them and instilling a foundation of values on which their future lives will be built. | 111 |
Martin O'Malley | Our parents and grandparents understood this truth deeply. They believed - as we do - that to create jobs, a modern economy requires modern investments: educating, innovating and rebuilding for our children's future. Building an economy to last, from the middle class up, not from the billionaires down. | 111 |
Roseanne Barr | I do kabbalistic meditation. It's not unlike time travel; it can change the past and not just the future. You can look at what was lost and go beyond the grief of what was lost. | 111 |
Shailene Woodley | I'm already the most fortunate girl in the world, so I have zero expectations for what the future will bring. | 111 |
Alan Watts | No valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now. | 112 |
Bruce Springsteen | Somebody who can reckon with the past, who can live with the past in the present, and move towards the future - that's fabulous. | 112 |
George Orwell | Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past. | 112 |
Malcolm X | The future belongs to those who prepare for it today. | 112 |
Neil deGrasse Tyson | Dreams about the future are always filled with gadgets. | 112 |
Joe Biden | Our future cannot depend on the government alone. The ultimate solutions lie in the attitudes and the actions of the American people. | 112 |
R. Buckminster Fuller | We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims. | 112 |
Arnold H. Glasow | Happy is the person who knows what to remember of the past, what to enjoy in the present, and what to plan for in the future. | 112 |
Ban Ki-moon | Building sustainable cities - and a sustainable future - will need open dialogue among all branches of national, regional and local government. And it will need the engagement of all stakeholders - including the private sector and civil society, and especially the poor and marginalized. | 112 |
Cory Booker | Everybody wants to find their soul mate, and I'm no different. That's definitely what I want in the future. | 112 |
Eric Hoffer | The only way to predict the future is to have power to shape the future. | 112 |
Heath Ledger | I'm not good at future planning. I don't plan at all. I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow. I don't have a day planner and I don't have a diary. I completely live in the now, not in the past, not in the future. | 112 |
Henri Frederic Amiel | Destiny has two ways of crushing us - by refusing our wishes and by fulfilling them. | 112 |
Herbert Spencer | The wise man must remember that while he is a descendant of the past, he is a parent of the future. | 112 |
Jean Baudrillard | To love someone is to isolate him from the world, wipe out every trace of him, dispossess him of his shadow, drag him into a murderous future. It is to circle around the other like a dead star and absorb him into a black light. | 112 |
Lewis Thomas | We are, perhaps, uniquely among the earth's creatures, the worrying animal. We worry away our lives, fearing the future, discontent with the present, unable to take in the idea of dying, unable to sit still. | 112 |
Martin Seligman | The fundamentalist religions simply seem to offer more hope for a brighter future than do the more liberal, humanistic ones. | 112 |
Plutarch | To make no mistakes is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future. | 112 |
Susan Sontag | Existence is no more than the precarious attainment of relevance in an intensely mobile flux of past, present, and future. | 112 |
Wole Soyinka | I found, when I left, that there were others who felt the same way. We'd meet, they'd come and seek me out, we'd talk about the future. And I found that their depression and pessimism was every bit as acute as mine. | 112 |
Yuvraj Singh | Cricket is my life. Before the cancer, I was happy-go-lucky. I used to think about my career and worry about the future. But post it, my thinking has completely changed. I'm happy to eat and breathe normally. I'm happy to have my life back. | 112 |
Josh McDowell | While the resurrection promises us a new and perfect life in the future, God loves us too much to leave us alone to contend with the pain, guilt and loneliness of our present life. | 112 |
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad | Those who insist on having hostilities with us, kill and destroy the option of friendship with us in the future, which is unfortunate because it is clear the future belongs to Iran and that enmities will be fruitless. | 112 |
Michael Morpurgo | It is the child's understanding that teaches the adults the way of the future. They're still doing it today with modern technology. | 112 |
Krzysztof Kieslowski | I have one good characteristic: I'm a pessimist, so I always imagine the worst - always. To me, the future is a black hole. | 112 |
James Buchan | For 50 years, nuclear power stations have produced three products which only a lunatic could want: bomb-explosive plutonium, lethal radioactive waste and electricity so dear it has to be heavily subsidised. They leave to future generations the task, and most of the cost, of making safe sites that have been polluted half-way to eternity. | 112 |
Abraham Lincoln | You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today. | 113 |
John F. Kennedy | Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal. | 113 |
Ray Bradbury | I don't try to describe the future. I try to prevent it. | 113 |
Simon Sinek | The challenge of the unknown future is so much more exciting than the stories of the accomplished past. | 113 |
bell hooks | To live fixated on the future is to engage in psychological denial. It is a form of psychic violence that prepares us to accept the violence needed to ensure the maintenance of imperialist, future-oriented society. | 113 |
David Letterman | We inadvertently bombed the Chinese Embassy. But Clinton now is working very hard. He has sent a letter of apology to the Chinese. And, he's also given them a gift certificate for future nuclear secrets. | 113 |
Derek Jeter | My heroes, my dreams, and my future lay in Yankee Stadium. And they can't take that away from me. | 113 |
Jennifer Aniston | I'm not sitting dwelling about the past or stressing or fretting about something in the future. | 113 |
Lewis Thomas | The future is too interesting and dangerous to be entrusted to any predictable, reliable agency. We need all the fallibility we can get. Most of all, we need to preserve the absolute unpredictability and total improbability of our connected minds. That way we can keep open all the options, as we have in the past. | 113 |
Pamela Anderson | I want Barack Obama for president. I love Obama. I call Palin the helicopter huntress from hell! I want my children to have a wonderful future, and it's disturbing when I look around. Americans aren't very well-liked. A likable president would be a great start. | 113 |
William Gibson | I think that our future has lost that capital F we used to spell it with. The science fiction future of my childhood has had a capital F - it was assumed to be an American Future because America was the future. The Future was assumed to be inherently heroic, and a lot of other things, as well. | 113 |
J. G. Ballard | I've seen descriptions of advanced TV systems in which a simulation of reality is computer-controlled; the TV viewer of the future will wear a special helmet. You'll no longer be an external spectator to fiction created by others, but an active participant in your own fantasies/dramas. | 113 |
Jessica Lange | I never think of the future. I never imagine what comes next. | 113 |
Mario Cuomo | I have no plans, and no plans to plan. | 113 |
Dan Quayle | The future will be better tomorrow. | 114 |
Percy Bysshe Shelley | Fear not for the future, weep not for the past. | 114 |
Henri Nouwen | The Christian leaders of the future have to be theologians, persons who know the heart of God and are trained - through prayer, study, and careful analysis - to manifest the divine event of God's saving work in the midst of the many seemingly random events of their time. | 114 |
Jackie Kennedy | The children have been a wonderful gift to me, and I'm thankful to have once again seen our world through their eyes. They restore my faith in the family's future. | 114 |
Debbie Ford | By affirming your own gifts and accomplishments, you build your confidence and increase your ability to build a brighter future. | 114 |
Edward Young | The future... seems to me no unified dream but a mince pie, long in the baking, never quite done. | 114 |
Geoff Mulgan | So is civil society prepared for the future? Probably not. Most organisations have to live hand to mouth, juggling short-term funding and perpetual minor crises. Even the bigger ones rarely get much time to stand back and look at the bigger picture. Many are on a treadmill chasing after contracts and new funding. | 114 |
Lawrence M. Krauss | We need to walk into the future, no matter how unnerving, with open eyes if society is to keep pace with technology. | 114 |
Paul Farmer | What the American public thinks is very important to the future of global health. Many people are moved by the idea that there is unnecessary suffering in the world, and we could do a lot to stop it. We have the technologies necessary to stop most of the suffering. | 114 |
Pearl S. Buck | One faces the future with one's past. | 114 |
Steven Gerrard | If other people want to talk about my future I can't control that. | 114 |
Sylvia Earle | Just as we have the power to harm the ocean, we have the power to put in place policies and modify our own behavior in ways that would be an insurance policy for the future of the sea, for the creatures there, and for us, protecting special critical areas in the ocean. | 114 |
Tadao Ando | I would like my architecture to inspire people to use their own resources, to move into the future. | 114 |
Albert Camus | Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present. | 115 |
Lil Wayne | Trying to tear down the past prohibits you from building up your future. | 115 |
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam | Teaching is a very noble profession that shapes the character, caliber, and future of an individual. If the people remember me as a good teacher, that will be the biggest honour for me. | 115 |
Henri Nouwen | The real enemies of our life are the 'oughts' and the 'ifs.' They pull us backward into the unalterable past and forward into the unpredictable future. But real life takes place in the here and now. | 115 |
James A. Baldwin | The future is like heaven, everyone exalts it, but no one wants to go there now. | 115 |
James Joyce | I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day. | 115 |
Anatole France | That man is prudent who neither hopes nor fears anything from the uncertain events of the future. | 115 |
Arnold Palmer | I'm not much for sitting around and thinking about the past or talking about the past. What does that accomplish? If I can give young people something to think about, like the future, that's a better use of my time. | 115 |
Elizabeth Warren | A good education is a foundation for a better future. | 115 |
Ezra Taft Benson | The history of humanity has, to a large extent, been one of groping blindly in the dark, fearing for the future and yet resisting the guiding hand of inspired men who would willingly lead mankind in the path of safety. | 115 |
Lord Acton | The science of politics is the one science that is deposited by the streams of history, like the grains of gold in the sand of a river; and the knowledge of the past, the record of truths revealed by experience, is eminently practical, as an instrument of action and a power that goes to making the future. | 115 |
Muhammad Yunus | I said peace is sometimes narrowly interpreted; it's the absence of conflict between nations or something. But peace is more inherent, more basic to human life, human beings, what we feel about each other, what we feel about life around us and what we see in our future. | 115 |
Nassim Nicholas Taleb | We know from chaos theory that even if you had a perfect model of the world, you'd need infinite precision in order to predict future events. With sociopolitical or economic phenomena, we don't have anything like that. | 115 |
John Berger | Without ethics, man has no future. This is to say, mankind without them cannot be itself. Ethics determine choices and actions and suggest difficult priorities. | 115 |
Bob Marley | In this bright future you can't forget your past. | 116 |
Conor McGregor | That's what I do this for, to secure my family's future. I don't care about anything else. I'm able to spoil people, and that's the best thing. | 116 |
Edgar Allan Poe | It is by no means an irrational fancy that, in a future existence, we shall look upon what we think our present existence, as a dream. | 116 |
Walt Whitman | The future is no more uncertain than the present. | 116 |
Audre Lorde | Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before. | 116 |
Justin Bieber | I got a bright future ahead of me. | 116 |
Steve Harvey | Men don't come up to you to just talk. We come up to you with a plan. We're looking across the room at you, and we don't care about your hopes and dreams. We don't care about what your future holds. We saw something we wanted. | 116 |
Alvin Toffler | Man has a limited biological capacity for change. When this capacity is overwhelmed, the capacity is in future shock. | 116 |
Chris Evans | It seems like the studios are either making giant blockbusters, or really super-small indies. And the mid-level films I grew up on, like 'Back to the Future' and all those John Hughes movies, the studios aren't doing. It's hard to get them on their feet. | 116 |
Michio Kaku | Consciousness-one level is understanding where we are in space. Consciousness two is where we understand our position in society: who's top dog, who's underdog and who's in the middle. And type-three consciousness is simulating the future. And type-three consciousness, only humans have this ability to see far into the future. | 116 |
Mitt Romney | Internationally, President Obama has adopted an appeasement strategy. He believes America's role as leader in the world is a thing of the past. I believe a strong America must - and will - lead the future. | 116 |
Olivia Newton-John | You never know what the future holds, so I am just enjoying being happy, healthy, and having my wonderful husband by my side. | 116 |
Peter Singer | I honestly don't know, but if America continues to refuse to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, I see a bleak future not only for American society, but for the world as a whole. This is a global problem that is not going away, and the United States is an obstacle to solving it. | 116 |
Samuel Taylor Coleridge | Language is the armory of the human mind, and at once contains the trophies of its past and the weapons of its future conquests. | 116 |
Virginia Postrel | Society needs both parents and nonparents, both the work party and the home party. While raising children is the most important work most people will do, not everyone is cut out for parenthood. And, as many a childless teacher has proved, raising kids is not the only important contribution a person can make to their future. | 116 |
Akshay Kumar | Always think twice before you decide to do anything for a film. It may seem like a career-changing idea, but think of your family and your future before doing anything risky. Train properly, because looking strong and being strong are two different things. | 116 |
Confucius | Study the past, if you would divine the future. | 117 |
Eckhart Tolle | People tend to dwell more on negative things than on good things. So the mind then becomes obsessed with negative things, with judgments, guilt and anxiety produced by thoughts about the future and so on. | 117 |
Alexis de Tocqueville | When the past no longer illuminates the future, the spirit walks in darkness. | 117 |
Billie Joe Armstrong | School is practice for the future, and practice makes perfect. But nobody's perfect, so why practice? | 117 |
Charlie Sheen | I just don't want to live like I used to. And at some point, I'm going to put a gag order on myself in terms of talking about the past. I've got to slam the door and deal with the present and the future. | 117 |
Daisaku Ikeda | A healthy vision of the future is not possible without an accurate knowledge of the past. | 117 |
Giordano Bruno | What can be more stupid than to be in pain about future things and absent ones which at present are not felt? | 117 |
Stendhal | In love, unlike most other passions, the recollection of what you have had and lost is always better than what you can hope for in the future. | 117 |
Jonathan Sacks | In an ecology of love, people can relate in trust and face the future without fear. They do not need to play it safe. They can take uncertainty in their stride. | 117 |
Dr. Seuss | Only you can control your future. | 118 |
Oscar Wilde | The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. | 118 |
Leo Buscaglia | I believe that you control your destiny, that you can be what you want to be. You can also stop and say, 'No, I won't do it, I won't behave his way anymore. I'm lonely and I need people around me, maybe I have to change my methods of behaving,' and then you do it. | 118 |
Aung San Suu Kyi | If I advocate cautious optimism it is not because I do not have faith in the future but because I do not want to encourage blind faith. | 118 |
Justin Bieber | We're trying to set up a movie for me in the near future. It's going to be similar to the story of how I got discovered. Kinda like my own version of '8 Mile.' | 118 |
Arsene Wenger | I think in the future we need to look at our youth department to provide more players for the first team think it is important for a club to have a good amount of players that have roots with the club and region. | 118 |
F. Sionil Jose | The influence of teachers extends beyond the classroom, well into the future. It is they who shape and enrich the minds of the young, who touch their hearts and souls. It is they who shape a nation's future. | 118 |
George Burns | I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life. | 118 |
Harvey Mackay | Worrying about the past or the future isn't productive. When you start chastising yourself for past mistakes, or seeing disaster around every corner, stop and take a breath and ask yourself what you can do right now to succeed. | 118 |
Marina Abramovic | We always project into the future or reflect in the past, but we are so little in the present. | 118 |
Nostradamus | Sooner and later you will see great changes made, dreadful horrors and vengeances. For as the Moon is thus led by its angel, the heavens draw near to the Balance. | 118 |
Virginia Postrel | We know we need bosses and deadlines to help us get work done. But sometimes we can also use an external push to make us have a good time. In both cases, our future self will appreciate the help. | 118 |
Charles Darwin | At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace the savage races throughout the world. | 119 |
Robert Kennedy | It is not enough to understand, or to see clearly. The future will be shaped in the arena of human activity, by those willing to commit their minds and their bodies to the task. | 119 |
Thomas Merton | Solitude is not something you must hope for in the future. Rather, it is a deepening of the present, and unless you look for it in the present you will never find it. | 119 |
Wayne Dyer | Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed. | 119 |
Joel Osteen | See, when you drive home today, you've got a big windshield on the front of your car. And you've got a little bitty rearview mirror. And the reason the windshield is so large and the rearview mirror is so small is because what's happened in your past is not near as important as what's in your future. | 119 |
John Lydon | Listen, you know this: If there's not a rebellious youth culture, there's no culture at all. It's absolutely essential. It is the future. This is what we're supposed to do as a species, is advance ideas. | 119 |
Ban Ki-moon | We have reached a new milestone as a human family. With seven billion of us now inhabiting our planet, it is time to ask some fundamental questions. How can we provide a dignified life for ourselves and future generations while preserving and protecting the global commons - the atmosphere, the oceans and the ecosystems that support us? | 119 |
Barbara Jordan | For all of its uncertainty, we cannot flee the future. | 119 |
Christina Aguilera | My future daughter is not going to go through what I did. | 119 |
Christopher Nolan | Yeah, it's odd when you look back at your own work. Some filmmakers don't look back at their work at all. I look at my work a lot, actually. I feel like I learned something while looking at stuff I've done in terms of what I'm going to do in the future, mistakes I've made and things at work or what have you. | 119 |
George MacDonald | The best preparation for the future is the present well seen to, and the last duty done. | 119 |
Hugh Hefner | Living in the moment, thinking about the future, and staying connected to the past: That's what makes me feel whole. | 119 |
Paramahansa Yogananda | I find my earliest memories covering the anachronistic features of a previous incarnation. Clear recollections came to me of a distant life, a yogi amidst the Himalayan snows. These glimpses of the past, by some dimensionless link, also afforded me a glimpse of the future. | 119 |
Scott Adams | Scientists will eventually stop flailing around with solar power and focus their efforts on harnessing the only truly unlimited source of energy on the planet: stupidity. I predict that in the future, scientists will learn how to convert stupidity into clean fuel. | 119 |
Steve Wozniak | I wish to God that Apple and Google were partners in the future. | 119 |
Jean Rostand | When a scientist is ahead of his times, it is often through misunderstanding of current, rather than intuition of future truth. In science there is never any error so gross that it won't one day, from some perspective, appear prophetic. | 119 |
Coco Chanel | A women who doesn't wear perfume has no future. | 120 |
Edmund Burke | You can never plan the future by the past. | 120 |
Elon Musk | In order for us to have a future that's exciting and inspiring, it has to be one where we're a space-bearing civilization. | 120 |
Denis Waitley | Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future. | 120 |
Hannah Arendt | Promises are the uniquely human way of ordering the future, making it predictable and reliable to the extent that this is humanly possible. | 120 |
John Maynard Keynes | The social object of skilled investment should be to defeat the dark forces of time and ignorance which envelope our future. | 120 |
Brian Greene | In the far, far future, essentially all matter will have returned to energy. But because of the enormous expansion of space, this energy will be spread so thinly that it will hardly ever convert back to even the lightest particles of matter. Instead, a faint mist of light will fall for eternity through an ever colder and quieter cosmos. | 120 |
Joe Rogan | What's interesting about science is that we're constantly discovering new things about the universe, about ourselves, about our bodies, about diseases, about the possibilities of the future. It's amazing. Science is one of the coolest things about being a human being - without a doubt. | 120 |
Michio Kaku | Cancer is like the common cold; there are so many different types. In the future we'll still have cancer, but we'll detect it very, very early, so that it won't kill anybody. We'll zap it at the molecular level decades before it grows into a tumor. | 120 |
Suze Orman | Money you won't need to use for at least seven years is money for investing. The goal here is to have your account grow over time to help you finance a distant goal, such as building a retirement fund. Since your goal is in the future, money for investing belongs in stocks. | 120 |
Ted Turner | I made a lot of money. I earned a lot of money with CNN and satellite and cable television. And you can't really spend large sums of money, intelligently, on buying things. So I thought the best thing I could do was put some of that money back to work - making an investment in the future of humanity. | 120 |
Alan Moore | There's a widespread cultural barrenness across art and political culture. But there are some pockets of resistance on the extreme margins, like the techno-savvy protest movements, small press, the creator-owned comics, that seem to be getting some signs of hope for the future. | 120 |
Susan Orlean | When I wonder what the future of books will be, I often think about horses. Before automobiles existed, everyone had a horse. Then cars became available, and their convenience, compared to horses, was undeniable. | 120 |
Stephen Covey | Studies have identified a significant 'skills gap' between what students are currently being taught and the skills employers are seeking in today's global economy. Our children must be better prepared than they are now to meet the future challenges of our ever-changing world. | 121 |
Benito Mussolini | Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity, quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace. | 121 |
Jack Welch | If GE's strategy of investment in China is wrong, it represents a loss of a billion dollars, perhaps a couple of billion dollars. If it is right, it is the future of this company for the next century. | 121 |
Queen Elizabeth II | Therefore I am sure that this, my Coronation, is not the symbol of a power and a splendor that are gone but a declaration of our hopes for the future, and for the years I may, by God's Grace and Mercy, be given to reign and serve you as your Queen. | 121 |
Steven Spielberg | I had a great time creating the future on 'Minority Report,' and it's a future that is coming true faster than any of us thought it would. | 121 |
Brian Tracy | All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose. | 121 |
Carlos Santana | Most people are prisoners, thinking only about the future or living in the past. They are not in the present, and the present is where everything begins. | 121 |
Jacques Yves Cousteau | The road to the future leads us smack into the wall. We simply ricochet off the alternatives that destiny offers. Our survival is no more than a question of 25, 50 or perhaps 100 years. | 121 |
Katy Perry | I'm happy, I'm in a good place, I'm looking forward to my future. | 121 |
Michio Kaku | In the future, I can imagine that we will genetically modify ourselves using the genes that have doubled our life span since we were chimpanzees. | 121 |
Robert H. Schuller | When an opportunity comes, it holds possibilities. And when you move away from it or don't sense it or grasp it, you're really throwing away your future; you're throwing away your tomorrow. | 121 |
Charles Darwin | How paramount the future is to the present when one is surrounded by children. | 122 |
Denis Waitley | Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future, and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now. | 122 |
Adlai E. Stevenson | We can chart our future clearly and wisely only when we know the path which has led to the present. | 122 |
Arthur C. Clarke | This is the first age that's ever paid much attention to the future, which is a little ironic since we may not have one. | 122 |
Ban Ki-moon | The clear and present danger of climate change means we cannot burn our way to prosperity. We already rely too heavily on fossil fuels. We need to find a new, sustainable path to the future we want. We need a clean industrial revolution. | 122 |
Brian Tracy | Those people who develop the ability to continuously acquire new and better forms of knowledge that they can apply to their work and to their lives will be the movers and shakers in our society for the indefinite future. | 122 |
Cristiano Ronaldo | There's no point in making predictions. It's not worth speculating because nothing is set in stone and things change all the time in football. Today there are opportunities that no one knows if they will come round again in the future. | 122 |
Gilbert Parker | Tomorrow is no man's gift. | 122 |
Jane Fonda | Our youth deserve the opportunity to complete their high school and college education, free of early parenthood. Their future children deserve the opportunity to grow up in financially and emotionally stable homes. Our communities benefit from healthy, productive, well-prepared young people. | 122 |
Nelson Mandela | Our human compassion binds us the one to the other - not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future. | 123 |
Robert Kennedy | There are people in every time and every land who want to stop history in its tracks. They fear the future, mistrust the present, and invoke the security of a comfortable past which, in fact, never existed. | 123 |

Denis Waitley | As long as we are persistence in our pursuit of our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time. | 124 |
Jane Goodall | I think my message to the politicians who have within their power the ability to make change is, 'Do you really, really not care about the future of your great-grandchildren? Because if we let the world continue to be destroyed the way we are now, what's the world going to be like for your great-grandchildren?' | 124 |
Buzz Aldrin | We can continue to try and clean up the gutters all over the world and spend all of our resources looking at just the dirty spots and trying to make them clean. Or we can lift our eyes up and look into the skies and move forward in an evolutionary way. | 124 |

Bob Marley | My future is righteousness. | 125 |
Nikola Tesla | The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is like that of the planter - for the future. His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way. | 125 |
Thich Nhat Hanh | We need enlightenment, not just individually but collectively, to save the planet. We need to awaken ourselves. We need to practice mindfulness if we want to have a future, if we want to save ourselves and the planet. | 125 |
Sylvia Plath | What a man is is an arrow into the future, and what a woman is is the place the arrow shoots off from. | 125 |
Gretchen Rubin | People are powerfully moved by imagination, belief, and knowledge. They can consider the past and future. They can make changes in their behavior out of reason in a way that animals can't do. | 125 |
Heath Ledger | I don't have that much forward planning about what I want to do next, or in the future. | 125 |

Kim Kardashian | You never know what the future holds or where my life will take me. | 126 |
Neil deGrasse Tyson | Do you realize that if you fall into a black hole, you will see the entire future of the Universe unfold in front of you in a matter of moments and you will emerge into another space-time created by the singularity of the black hole you just fell into? | 126 |

Neil Armstrong | I'm substantially concerned about the policy directions of the space agency. We have a situation in the U.S. where the White House and Congress are at odds over what the future direction should be. They're sort of playing a game and NASA is the shuttlecock that they're hitting back and forth. | 126 |
Regina Brett | Greet every morning with open arms and say thanks every night with a full heart. Each day is a precious gift to be savored and used, not left unopened and hoarded for a future that may never come. | 126 |
Thomas a Kempis | What else does anxiety about the future bring you but sorrow upon sorrow? | 126 |
Yoko Ono | Performance art is going to be the future. Plays on Broadway are so restricted. But performance art is like haikus, just one line thing. And it's more casual but more interesting. | 126 |

Henri Nouwen | The Christian leader of the future is called to be completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self. God loves us, not because of what we do or accomplish, but because God has created and redeemed us in love. | 201 |
Richard Bach | You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past. | 201 |
Dave Grohl | I owe everything to Nirvana. But I can't let that overshadow the future. For the first few years, I didn't even want to talk about Nirvana. Partly because it was just painful to talk about losing Kurt but also because I wanted the Foo Fighters to mean something. | 201 |
Thomas S. Monson | The future is as bright as your faith. | 201 |
Tariq Ramadan | Times have changed; so must the lenses through which we see the political future. | 201 |

Eckhart Tolle | Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make. | 202 |
Peter Drucker | Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window. | 202 |
Floyd Mayweather, Jr. | Most people should be talking about how Floyd Mayweather is a great undefeated future Hall of Famer that's his own promoter and that works extremely hard to get to where he's at. Instead, all you hear is hate and jealous remarks from critics who criticize me and, you know, most of the time, the people that criticize me can't do what I can do. | 202 |
Coco Chanel | Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future. | 203 |

Mitt Romney | Education is the investment our generation makes in the future. | 204 |

Voltaire | It is said that the present is pregnant with the future. | 205 |

Richard P. Feynman | If we have an atom that is in an excited state and so is going to emit a photon, we cannot say when it will emit the photon. It has a certain amplitude to emit the photon at any time, and we can predict only a probability for emission; we cannot predict the future exactly. | 205 |
Samuel Johnson | The future is purchased by the present. | 205 |
Brian Tracy | Invest three percent of your income in yourself (self-development) in order to guarantee your future. | 205 |
Lionel Messi | The truth is my idea has been to always stay at Barcelona and see out the rest of my career here. Like I always say, one doesn't know what can happen in the future, but if it were up to me to decide, I would stay at Barcelona for the rest of my career. | 206 |
Michio Kaku | Some people are a little bit afraid about the future because they see all these gadgets and gizmos coming down the pike and they think they're too old to learn all this new stuff. But eventually they begin to realize, 'Hey, some of this stuff is useful.' | 206 |

George Santayana | We must welcome the future, remembering that soon it will be the past; and we must respect the past, remembering that it was once all that was humanly possible. | 210 |
Jim Rohn | Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you. | 210 |
John Wooden | I think the teaching profession contributes more to the future of our society than any other single profession. | 210 |
Tony Robbins | We are the only beings on the planet who lead such rich internal lives that it's not the events that matter most to us, but rather, it's how we interpret those events that will determine how we think about ourselves and how we will act in the future. | 210 |
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. | Wisdom is the abstract of the past, but beauty is the promise of the future. | 210 |

Euripides | Whoso neglects learning in his youth, loses the past and is dead for the future. | 211 |

Eckhart Tolle | People look to time in expectation that it will eventually make them happy, but you cannot find true happiness by looking toward the future. | 212 |
David Attenborough | People talk about doom-laden scenarios happening in the future: they are happening in Africa now. You can see it perfectly clearly. Periodic famines are due to too many people living on land that can't sustain them. | 213 |
Stephen Hawking | The past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities. | 213 |
David Suzuki | It doesn't give me any satisfaction to think that my concerns will be validated by my grandchildren's generation. I would love to be wrong in everything. My grandchildren are my stake in the near future, and it's my great hope that they might one day say, 'Grandpa was part of a great movement that helped to turn things around.' | 213 |
Henry B. Eyring | Our Heavenly Father knows us and our circumstances and even what faces us in the future.

He has perfect understanding of the feelings, the suffering, the trials, and the needs of every individual. | 213 |
Karl Lagerfeld | I like today and perhaps a little future still, but the past is really something I'm not interested in. So, as far as I'm concerned, I like only the past of things and people I don't know. When I know, I don't care because I knew how it was. | 213 |

Jack Canfield | In working with top leaders and thought philosophers of our time, I will tell you that among their secrets of success is a regular practice of acknowledging and appreciating what they have.

Friedrich Nietzsche | The future influences the present just as much as the past. | 215 |
Arnold Schwarzenegger | I welcome and seek your ideas, but do not bring me small ideas; bring me big ideas to match our future. | 215 |
David Suzuki | Over and over, the economy has determined the extent of our response, but how much value does it place on breathable air, drinkable water, edible food and stable weather and climate? Surely the economy is the means to a better future, not an end in itself. Surely it must be subordinate to a rich, diverse ecosphere that sustains all life. | 216 |
Benjamin Disraeli | Conservatism discards Prescription, shrinks from Principle, disavows Progress; having rejected all respect for antiquity, it offers no redress for the present, and makes no preparation for the future. | 217 |

Katy Perry | People always ask me, 'What is it that you regret?' And I say, 'nothing, because I could not buy what I've learned.' And I apply those things to my life I learn. And hopefully, hopefully it helps me to be a better human in the future and make better choices. | 217 |

Martha Beck | My own nature hovers between neurotic and paranoid. I've developed the habit of mentally listing things that make me optimistic about the future. I do it every day. | 218 |
Marco Rubio | I believe with all my heart that God still destines for us an even better future and the opportunity to continue to serve as an inspiration to the world. | 219 |

George Carlin | There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past. | 220 |

William James | If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change a past or future event, then you are residing on another planet with a different reality system. | 226 |

Richard Dawkins | Saddam Hussein could have provided irreplaceable help to future historians of the Iran/Iraq war, of the invasion of Kuwait, and of the subsequent era of sanctions culminating in the current invasion. | 305 |
Deepak Chopra | In every conversation I've had - with housewives in Mumbai, with middle-class people, upper-class, in the slums - everyone says there is an underlying consciousness of karma. That people believe in karma - that what you're putting out is going to come back. If I do something to you, the energy of it is going to come back to me in the future. | 306 |
Malala Yousafzai | Let us make our future now, and let us make our dreams tomorrow's reality. | 306 |
Dolly Parton | I do write a lot of children's songs, and I'm going to do a children's television show, which also means I'll be doing a lot of albums. So I do hope my future will hold a lot of things for children. | 309 |

Joyce Meyer | No matter what has happened to you in the past or what is going on in your life right now, it has no power to keep you from having an amazingly good future if you will walk by faith in God. God loves you! He wants you to live with victory over sin so you can possess His promises for your life today! | 311 |
Barack Obama | On every front there are clear answers out there that can make this country stronger, but we're going to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling.

Elon Musk | If humanity doesn't land on Mars in my lifetime, I would be very disappointed. | 321 |
Neil deGrasse Tyson | To make any future that we dreamt up real requires creative scientists, engineers, and technologists to make it happen.

Victor Hugo | Each man should frame life so that at some future hour fact and his dreaming meet. | 321 |

Henry Ward Beecher | We steal if we touch tomorrow. It is God's. | 414 |
Neil deGrasse Tyson | The idea that science is just some luxury that you'll get around to if you can afford it is regressive to any future a country might dream for itself. | 415 |
