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

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

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

The future comes like an unwelcome guest.

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

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

The future, like everything else, is no longer quite what it used to be.

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

Little folks become their little fate.

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

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

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

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