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

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

Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.

The world is dying of machinery; that is the great disease, that is the plague that will sweep away and destroy civilization; man will have to rise against it sooner or later.

The future comes like an unwelcome guest.

God seems to have left the receiver off the hook, and time is running out.

People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestors.

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

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

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

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

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

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