As natural selection works solely by and for the good of each being, all corporeal and mental endowments will tend to progress toward perfection.

Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

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

Little folks become their little fate.

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

Time will reveal everything. It is a babbler and speaks even when not asked.

Every man takes the limits of his own vision for the limits of the world.

Destiny is not a 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.

We must confess that at present the rich predominate, but the future will be for the virtuous and ingenious.

The future comes like an unwelcome guest.

All progress is based upon a universal, innate desire on the part of every organism to live beyond its income.

The less a man knows about the past and the present, the more insecure must prove to be his judgment of the future.

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.
