He alone who owns the youth gains the future.

A change of fortune hurts a wise man no more than a change of the moon.

Not a change for the better in our human housekeeping has ever taken place that wise and good men have not opposed it—have not prophesied that the world would wake up to find its throat cut in consequence.

Tomorrow never comes, man. It’s all the same fucking day.

Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.

Fate leads the willing and drags along those who hang back.

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

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

I’ve seen the future, brother; it is murder.

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

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

The future comes like an unwelcome guest.

The world began without man, and it will end without him.
