If you do not think about the future, you cannot have one.
JOHN GALSWORTHY, Swan Song
Coming events cast their shadows before.
There is no smooth road into the future: but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles.
D. H. LAWRENCE, Lady Chatterley's Lover
- You glorify the past
- When the future dries up.
It is not the present which unfluences the future, thou fool, but the future which forms the present. You have it all backward. Since the future is set, an unfolding of events which will assure that future is fixed and inevitable.
FRANK HERBERT, Children of Dune
Go forth to meet the shadowy Future, without fear, and with a manly heart.
HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW, Hyperion
Learn to recognize the future the way a Steersman identifies guiding stars and corrects the course of his vessel. Learn from the past; never use it as an anchor.
BRIAN HERBERT & KEVIN J. ANDERSON, Dune: House Harkonnen
One might as well attempt to calculate mathematically the contingent forms of the tinkling bits of glass in a kaleidoscope as to look through the tube of the future and foretell its pattern.
HENRY WARD BEECHER, Life Thoughts
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT, It Seems to Me: Selected Letters of Eleanor Roosevelt
The future is like smoke from a burning forest, waiting for the wind of specific events and personal courage to blow the sparks and embers of reality this way or that.
DAN SIMMONS, The Rise of Endymion
Whether we shape the future in the image of our hopes, is ours to determine by our actions and our choices.
RICHARD NIXON, Inaugural Address, Jan. 20, 1969
- The Future, like a fruitfuller Summer, sits
- Ripening her Eden silently.
GERALD MASSEY, "To My Wife"
Nobody knows what the future will bring, but it's a good bet that there will be a delivery charge.
TOM WILSON, Ziggy, Feb. 14, 2000
It is today that we must create the world of the future.
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT, Tomorrow Is Now
The future remains uncertain and so it should, for it is the canvas upon which we paint our desires. Thus always the human condition faces a beautifully empty canvas.
FRANK HERBERT, Children of Dune
I find my past in my present, and from these forecast my future.
AMOS BRONSON ALCOTT, Table Talk
The future was a time that called into question everything that came before it.
IVAN KLIMA, Waiting for the Dark, Waiting for the Light
The only fresh meat is the future.
SARAH LINDSAY, "Circus Merk's Queen of Siberia"
To know the future absolutely it to be trapped into that future absolutely. It collapses time. Present becomes future.
FRANK HERBERT, Children of Dune
Well the future for me is already a thing of the past.
The future was a dark corridor, with the door at its end firmly closed.
GUSTAVE FLAUBERT, Madame Bovary
There is no PAST anybody can get to, to alter things or even to know what those things were but there is definitely a future, we are already in it.
JOYCE CAROL OATES, Zombie
I go to scale the Future's possibilities! Farewell!
HENRIK IBSEN, Love's Comedy
The best is always yet to come.
